How to determine your shoe width

Alongside the shoe size, the shoe width is an important criteria for finding the perfectly fitting shoe! The aim of this width system is to give your foot sufficient freedom of movement and at the same time provide firm support. This results in optimum comfort and the best conditions for maintaining your foot health. The innovative Joya sole technology also ensures pleasant cushioning and pressure distribution.
In this article, we would like to explain how to measure your foot width and find the right Joya shoe for you.
We address the following points:
- What shoe widths does Joya offer?
- How to determine your foot width
- The importance of shoe width for your foot health
- Find your perfectly fitting Joya shoe
1. What shoe widths does Joya offer?
Everyone's foot width is individual, just like their foot length. Joya therefore offers shoes in widths G, H, J and K. The letters indicate the ball of the foot size and thus stand for different circumferences.
Shoe size G is a comfort width, suitable for normal width feet. Shoe width H is required by those with somewhat thicker feet. For these foot widths, there are models on the Joya ACTIVE, SENSO, NUVOLA and CURVE soles.
Our models on the WAVE sole are best suited for extra-wide feet with widths H, J or K. Also if you wear medical insoles or orthoses, because the WAVE sole has the removable Joya Multi-Fit insole. The shoe width can therefore be customized and adapted specifically to each foot.
2. How to determine your foot width
To measure your foot width, stand on the floor with your bare feet parallel to each other and put your weight evenly on both feet. It is best to get help from another person so that the weight remains evenly distributed on both feet. Place the measuring tape around the widest part of the foot and read off the circumference. With the help of the foot width measured in this way and the following table, you can now determine your shoe width.

3. The importance of shoe width for your foot health
Well-fitting shoes are the cornerstone of your foot health.
→ Shoes that are too wide minimize the support function and considerably reduce support.
→ Shoes that are too tight lead to immediate pressure pain and blisters; in the worst case, permanent deformities and misalignments occur.
If you spend a lot of time on your feet due to your job or leisure activities, your feet are under particular strain. We therefore recommend that you pay particular attention to your feet to prevent the above-mentioned consequences. Joya health shoes with their exceptional pressure distribution and cushioning properties only develop their beneficial effect with the right choice of shoe width and size!
