Ordered a pair of slippers yesterday lunchtime having been let down badly by another online supplier.
Price was about half the price of the other supplier and couldn't believe it when they turned up this morning. Quality was excellent too with some removable insoles which helps give more options for comfort.
Altogether a first class efficient shopping experience

My podiatrist friend insisted that with my severe bunions I MUST get special shoes, and stipulated I should get properly fitted/measured by this company, meaning a 45 minute drive from home. You have to book an appointment, can't just turn up on spec, which made it sound a lot more special of an experience than it turned out to be. The company certainly does not overspend on the premises at Rushden, and the perfunctory measuring and product selection process was a turn-off. Don't want to tar everyone with same brush, but my wife thought exactly the same. Never mind, the shoes she brought fit perfectly well, though the casual shoe range is a bit clunky to say the least. Fast forward and I've recently bought some trainers (at a discounted price), and that experience with a very helpful lady on the telephone was an altogether better experience. You are only as good as your people - and you know investment is needed in premises. I've followed up your reply, and given you my details as requested, if you want me to expand and explain my review. I'd started to explain here, but now feel it's not necessary or helpful to put it in the public arena.

Thank you for very proactive with this by replacing the slippers.

I bought a pair of shoes a few years ago and was happy with them. The company started sending me catalogues and I phoned and said I didn't want them. They stopped sending them until I placed another order, then they started again. I didn't sign up for them. I have emailed and they said they would stop sending them. I have sent them back with messages on to stop sending them but all to no avail. The next month another catalogue pops through my letterbox. These unwanted catalogues don't make me want to buy from them, totally the opposite. They are a complete nuisance and should stop spamming people.

I have short thick fat feet, my husband calls them Hobbit feet and have struggled nearly all my life to buy shoes.My friend told me about DB Wider fit and have bought so many pairs because... THEY FIT!!!! I have not had a problem with a single pair. I do buy in the sales as they are very expensive.

I bought a pair of black lace up shoes and a pair of slippers. As always they are both really comfortable to wear. The fit is amazing, especially as I have wide feet after having some operations on them. The measuring device is great as you can get the sizing correct. These shoes are well made and a reasonable price. The quality is superb. = 5 star.

After picking up a brochure from my Podiatrist, I also looked online and ordered some shoes, ankle boots and slippers.,The fit is fantastic, especially having the means on the brochure to measure the depth of the toe area. Also, having Diabetes Type 1, I really need correct fitting footwear. They’re like walking on air!

Excellent service and delivery. Just purchased the Donna lace up boots 6E, size 6 in Denim and also in the Russet Red. Reasons: because the fit my arthritic feet and can insert my orthotics, can rotate their wear, prefer leather because rainproof and can clean and polish them, I wear trousers a lot during Autumn/Winter although look fashionable with Winter dresses and tights, etc. For me, the style is perfect and my feet don't slide forward in the boot plus can adjust the lace during day as necessary. Have them now in all 4 colours -strangely they have never made them in a Dark Brown or Navy. Tried other manufacturers -all their boots and shoes gone to Charity Shops. Only problem is finding matching coloured leather handbag in the Wineberry [unsure what colour it really is] and where on earth to find the Russet red handbag - some lighting it looks towards a brown shade then again possibly red until I place them next to a red garment or orange or brown and no way are they those colours so guess black or navy handbag/clothing only options. Guess I'm fussy. Web site also has wonderful shoe designs but sadly not all made in 6E with removable soles and made with 2 inch heels which I cannot wear, especially the dressy shoes which sometime in the year I need but when I find them half inch lower and in my size, then I'm in there. Also a problem finding summer sandals and I still like the open toe with velcro fastening and also around my ankle but with a covered heel simply because of ease of inserting my feet which includes my orthotics. Don't like them looking big and ugly though which last 2 years fashions seemed to be.

Finally, at last a pair WIDE Fitting shoes I cold wear on my very painful feet.
I recently purchased a pair of DB Monica 6V fitting shoes, and as soon as I tried them on in the house I knew I would be able to walk in them outside.
These shoes are deep enough to accommodate my professionally made insoles with ease. which corrected my posture and eased the pain in my feet and hips as I was no longer walking on the outside of my feet.
In fact on the worst foot I placed my insoles over the ones which came with the shoes and this made for an almost perfect fit even with my slight hammer toe
I did order one size up.
After twice returning other styles I had almost despaired of ever finding shoes to ease the misery of painful, swollen feet.
For me the secret seems to be the open back (sandal like) style, while the closed front still covered most of my feet.
I would love it if this style was made in all leather. Replacing the stretch material with very soft leather or leather look so the shoes can be worn all year round as I am not sure how the stretch material would fare if while out I got caught in a rain shower. It may be okay but I will not test it while I only have one pair of Monica just in case.
I have found the online customer service staff excellent, very patient and polite.

My mum and aunty have wide feet. The have difficulty in finding shoes to fit. These have wider shoes. My issue is this, they rip customers off. The shoes are expensive and poor quality. Most of the people that buy from them are the older generation that will pay their inflated prices, without thinking. I find that appalling.

Just received my 6V size slippers. I'm 66 and this is the most comfortable footwear I have ever owned. Very pleased and happy to recommend Wider Fit Shoes.

I am a clinician (orthotist) and I often treat people with wide feet or arthritic toes or people who need thick orthotic insoles or leg braces and they need wide or deep footwear. I often refer my patients to DB Wider Fit shoes after advising what size to try (I have fitting stock in my clinic). The quality is very good, the style are modern and they are frequently updated to keep up with fashion, they come with extra strap extensions if needed and the return service is very easy. Good price too. Thanks DB shoes you are doing a great job!!

Just got my second pair of DB Shoes and am pleased again with the quality, fit and service.
However, this time I noticed a sticker inside saying 'Made in Portugal' (not on the first shoes) and felt disillusioned as this year I've been trying to 'buy British' and support British industries/workers -nowhere have I seen it stated that DB Shoes imports overseas-made shoes. The website states 'specialises in the design and manufacture of wide ...', though I now realise that the word 'manufacture' on its own does not preclude manufacturing abroad and I made an assumption (and perhaps the location/s is/are mentioned somewhere on their site?). Maybe they could specify in the product description where a particular shoe is made.
If that aspect is not important to you, then I would certainly recommend DB Shoes for their wide fittings and comfort (and thinking about it, I guess if they were made by British workers, they would be much costlier).

I have wide feet and need wide fitting shoes. For quite a few years now I have bought my shoes from DB Widerfitshoes. They have a good selection of shoes, some of them a bit old school but many nice and modern. The quality is really good and they can last for years. The delivery times are also good. I ordered my last pair of shoes on a Friday afternoon and received them in Stockholm, Sweden, next Wednesday. Can´t ask for more. So all in all, this is a great company for buying wide fitting shoes no matter where you live.

I would like to publicly apologise for the review I wrote two days ago about my experience in using DB wider shoes. I had written that I was unhappy about the fact the boots I had ordered had not arrived, poor customer service and expensive postal costs.
Thank you for the reply below my review. I had not appreciated that the cost of returning/exchanging items were included in the original price of the postage.
More importantly, I wanted to say I was a big dim wit and the reason why it has taken so long to get my boots is because I had apparently not provided a full address, so the boots could not be delivered.
The initial person I spoke to could have looked into the details of my order and the angst could have been avoided.
Please accept my apologies for the review and my idiocy! I will call the number provided to provide my full address.

Brilliant customer service. Delivered order on time, unfortunately the boots i had ordered didn't fit, so i returned them for a different style, which i then received within a week. The new shoes we're good quality, and i am very pleased with them.

The shoes I got were delivered on time but they chafed so bad on my right foot, they drew blood the first time I wore them. However, Wider Fit Shoes were good enough to give me a refund.

Reply from DB Wider Fit Shoes
Ordered from them the 5th of August. Other than the welcome email and order confirmation, I have received zero communication. They took payment, but I never got a shipping notification. I woke up this morning to find the money from the purchase had been refunded. Still no indication of what happened or why. I won’t be trying again though.
