Review: Zappos

Anyone who wears wide width shoes knows that they can be hard to find – especially in the new and cute styles. Thanks to websites like Zappos, finding wide width shoes for men and women has gotten a lot easier.

Zappos offers a great search engine that can easily track down any pair of wide width shoes or extra wide width shoes that they sell. The search engine goes up to a 7E shoe width for women and a 9E for men but there are few shoes in these categories above a standard extra wide width, especially when it comes to wide width dress shoes.

Shoppers can search categories like women’s dress shoes, women’s casual shoes, and women’s athletic shoes in order to find the perfect wide width shoes for women. Men can search the same categories for wide width shoes for men. Shoppers are also able to search by style, heel height, brand, what is on sale, color, and price.

Zappos offers hundreds of brands at low prices, many of which come in wide width shoe sizes. From athletic shoes by Adidas to KangaROOS to casual shoes by KORS to Easy Spirit there is something for everyone, including designer lines. Shoppers can buy from the Isaac Mizrahi Collection or Anne Klein, DKNY and many more.

Sorry to any ladies out there that love couture shoes but need wide width shoe sizes. Zappos only has a few wide width sizes in the Stuart Weitzman collection. Anyone looking for extra wide width shoes is completely out of luck. There are absolutely no couture shoes in wide or extra wide width for men.

One of the best features offered by Zappos is their multiple pictures of the shoes for sale. Shoppers can view the perspective shoes from each side, the top, the bottom, together in a pair, each shoe separately and from the front. Regardless of whether wide width shoes are being purchased, these multiple views give a comprehensive glimpse at the shoes you will receive.

If shoppers cannot find what they are looking for, Zappos allows shoppers to sign up for mailings that will let them know when new items come in stock. Shoppers can specify how often they receive updates on shoes and on what sizes.

Don’t know what size to buy? Need women’s wide width shoes or women’s extra wide width shoes? Don’t worry. Zappos offers free shipping both ways. That is they send them for free and if they need to be returned, there is no shipping fee to pay. Just visit the website and follow the return instructions – which include printing off a pre-paid UPS label.

If the same shoes are found for less elsewhere, contact Zappos and they will refund 110% of the price difference.
