CloudStep Wide Walker

These womens plus size velcro walking shoes exist because a wider foot is not a longer foot. The last is cut with a widened forefoot so the toes are not pressed against a seam, and one hook-and-loop strap over the instep sets the fit for the day instead of needing re-tying. A breathable mesh upper passes air rather than trapping heat, which is the whole point of a summer walking shoe.

Womens Plus Size Velcro Walking Shoes, Built Around A Wide Foot

The opening is generous and the strap closes it without pushing the tongue down, so the shoe goes on in one motion with stiff fingers. Loosen it half a step on a swollen afternoon foot, tighten it in the morning. The lining is a quality microfibre face over high-resilience dense sponge, and the footbed is a 3 mm textured cotton pad — the stack the supplier lists as the cooling construction. We state what the shoe is made of, not a laboratory temperature figure.

Cushioning And Grip

A TPU air-cushion unit sits in the midsole for rebound, over a moulded rubber outsole cut for wet pavement. The strap is stitched through the upper panel rather than glued, so repeated opening does not lift the edge.

Details Before You Order

Is it a wide fitting? Yes — a plus-size last with a widened forefoot, not a longer shoe. Does the strap hold all day? The hook-and-loop is stitched through the panel and keeps the heel seated on flat ground. Can I wear them on a treadmill? Yes, the strap does the work laces would. Sizing? EU 39 to 44 on the store chart; the insole length is still to be measured on stock, so order your usual size and we will correct the chart if it runs. Wash? Wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and air the insole out of the shoe overnight; do not machine-wash it, the pad will separate from the board.

Offered in black, grey, blue and beige.
