The turn of the seasons is always an exciting (and busy time). So many pretty new shoes that respect your feet! Here are the Spring 2026 wide toe box models I am most excited about right now, with the practical fit and sizing info you need to simplify your shopping. You can find all my Fashion, But Make it Barefoot roundups here.
Tired of buying and returning endless shoe orders in search of the perfect fit? Come to the Barefoot Shoe Expo where you can try everything on at once and learn the brands that are right for you. This year it’s in the Chicago area on May 16-17.
Spring is all about feminine silhouettes, bright colors, and whimsical details. Sometimes I like my shoes to be the bold centerpiece, and sometimes I like them to play a supporting role so the rest of the outfit can shine. But the best part? You can achieve just about any look or style without sacrificing your comfort. Here is a roundup of wide toe box and barefoot shoes for 2026 that bring all the style and will have you saying goodbye to your heeled and pointy shoes forever.
Loafers, Flats, & Sandals
Peerko Tala
You can also find these directly from Peerko in the EU, and use code ANYASREVIEWS10 for 10% off. Please note that returns are not accepted outside the EU.
Boat shoes have returned with a vengeance, and I’m really not sad about it. They are more sophisticated than a sneaker, but just as comfortable. And made with Peerko’s signature quality materials. These have a slim look to them, but the interior space is roomier than it looks. They have plenty of space above the toes, and have molded to fit my wide toe box quite well. I don’t recommend them for extra wide feet though. I am wearing my usual size 37.
Origo Woven Ballerinas
Use code ANYA for 10% off.
Black sold out fast, but is being restocked the first few days of April.
New color and restock ! Possibly the shoe I am most excited about for 2026. My collaboration with Origo has expanded beyond Huaraches into these handwoven Ballerina may jane shoes that bring me so much joy! They are beautiful enough to make your non-barefoot shoe wearing friends jealous, and comfortable enough that you can walk all summer long in them.
Last year we weren’t able to launch them until late in the season, and they sold out immediately. So I’m really happy that we have a full restock and new color ready for you, so that you can enjoy them the entire spring and summer. If colors sell out again, you can expect them to come back in within a month.
Also new this spring, we have added a lovely coral blush color to our huaraches line!
Groundies Cricket
In the US these are temporarily only available in Men’s sizes. But I’ve been told the women’s sizes are returning in April. If you’re size 40 or above, you can shop Men’s Cricket.
Another shoe style making the rounds right now is what Samantha and I have dubbed the grandpa shoe. It is a bit of a cross between a moccasin, a loafer, and a slipper. And similar to boat shoes, they are supremely comfortable, but not sporty. The hilarious part about it is that I was not a fan of this style a year ago, but have since completely changed my tune.
The Groundies Cricket laces up really securely and is very soft and comfortable. They feel roomy and forgiving, even though they don’t look very wide (still not extra wide friendly though). There is a removable insole if you want more volume, and generally I am a huge fan. I do wish I could slip them on and off without doing the laces, but no dice.
Other options include:
- Raum Mecca – not extra wide, but grounding. I have these and love them.
- Lang.S Loam – Use code ANYALANG for 10% off
- Ohne Ona – Use code ANYAOP10 for 10% off
- Magical Shoes Cameron – Use code ANYA for 10% off
High Feels
You can also find these directly from High Feels in the EU, and use code ANYA for 10% off.
They’re back! I have loved these sandals for many a year, but the company took a break and they weren’t available for a while (small business ownership is not for the faint of heart). Well, they finally returned late last summer AND we started carrying them at Anya’s Shop in the US for easier North American access! These are IMO the best sexy high heels replacement for fancy occasions.
The standard version does have a slimmer fit and are not likely to work well for extra wide and/or high volume feet, even though the open design allows your feet to comfortable spill over a bit.
But they recently announced a Wide version of this sandal that is on preorder now! We have not personally tried this yet, but I looked at the size guide and it does indeed look extra wide in the toe box. The Wide option shows up for the Rosegold, Blush, and Black models.
Crupon – Thicker sole
Use code ANYA for 10% off
Crupon, longtime favorite of mine, has a new custom midsole option this year. This is in response to the many requests for a bit more cushion. So you can now get the timeless look and quality of Crupon with a bit more sole underneath.
I personally love the Abbie as a fisherman style shoe, and the Fida for that strappy look. Also a longtime fan of the Trevi and Monstera. The new midsole option is only a couple of millimeters thick, so it’s not hugely cushioned. But I do appreciate the bit of extra softness and find that I want to reach for them more when they have the thicker outsole.
Read more Crupon info here for why I am obsessed with this slow-fashion brand that is designed to last for years to come.
Lang.S Sandals & Mira Flats
Mira is restocking in the next week! You can also find these directly from Lang.S in the EU and use code ANYALANG for 10% off.
Lang.S sandals are some of my favorites, but last year we weren’t able to bring them into Anya’s Shop in the US (major bummer!). The Soul sandal has been a favorite of mine for quite a few years now, they are so trusty and easy to wear with a velcro back stsrap. Newer to the line up is the Selene – she has a sexier, more elevated vibe that is still practical for lots of walking. Both are well made, and fit lots of foot types well without pinching and without flopping. And they are extra wide friendly, so an alternative to High Feels if that fit won’t work for you.
And of course, we can’t forget the Mira flats. These also sold out in a flash last fall, and we are finally getting more in black + a new brown. They have a thicker, more cushioned sole than you typically find on barefoot shoes but they are still very flexible and light. So comfortable, and so cute. They are in transit to us now and expected to arrive within the next week.
Jenon Two Strip Villet – Extra Wide Friendly
New colors! These have been extremely popular for the last year at Anya’s Shop (the two strap version is exclusive to us), and we haven’t been able to keep them in stock. Currently there is brown and mauve available, and we have a fresh big batch on its way to us that includes the two new colors you see here!
This is a mary jane flat that is both pretty, and very versatile. I wear mine all the time because they are so dang comfortable, and they also work wonderfully for Samantha (our extra wide-footed princess). They’ve been a major hit in my Facebook group.
Sizing is true, and they are extra wide friendly while still being secure on thinner feet.
Wildling Collection
Use code AWN_ANYA_S for a one-time free shipping offer
I feel like Wildling often gets left out of the style conversation, because they are not mainstream or typical. But I kind of love that about them. The bright colors make me happy, and they are so breathable and light. The most barefoot shoe of barefoot shoes. The ones that have caught my eye this season are the Cotinga Petrol (a pop of blue is very springy) and the Ranidae in Plum. I wear my Wildling’s often on travel days, because they are so comfy.
They also now have US distribution set up, which means that not all models are available here in the US. If you’re overseas, you get lots more options!! But everything you see here is available in both locations.
Magical Shoes loafers + flats – Extra Wide Friendly
Use code ANYA for 10% off
Magical Shoes released several new models this spring, and one that stands out particularly to me is the loafer. They have an optional fringe and are super soft and flexible. They aren’t quite as refined as the Peerko Tala, but they are wider and softer.
Also new from Magical Shoes is an ankle strap flat that I think is really nice. Magical Shoes is a good brand for people with extra wide feet. Just be warned that the ballet flats tend to run big and wide, while the sneakers/loafers/boots run small. I got a size 38 in the loafers and 36 in the ballet flats.
Softstar Dalia Sandal – Extra Wide Friendly
Softstar has released a new feminine sandal that is extra wide friendly! The Dalia has a pretty scalloped strap, and is soft and flexible. I recommend her for extra wide, high volume feet (Samantha is wearing them, but I passed on them because my feet are rather narrow in the heels). The Dalia also comes in a regular width, but we find it to be a bit of an odd pointy shape. I’d love for it to come in the shape overall shape as wide, just slimmer across.
Softstar is also releasing a Primal Ballerine this week. In this model both the Regular and the Wide are square-shaped and wide (Wide is EXTRA wide). Samantha and I both have tester pairs of these and find them pretty wide through the entire length of the shoe, so they are loose on my heels. We also both sized up one because our usual flats size felt too short.
Sneakers
Bohempia Velik – Extra Wide Friendly
Use code ANYASREVIEWS 10% off the EU store. And at Anya’s Shop in the US you can shop the essential Bohempia collection.
Bohempia has some new releases that are fun for spring, and all Bohempia sneakers come in two widths. That means they are extra wide friendly. I’m a longtime fan of this brand, they are a staple brand if you are into classic sneaker styling.
The Velik Candy especially catches my eye for spring. They are a fun and colorful slip-on. I’ve worn the Velik for years now, and the hemp gets better with age. I’m also really liking the Orik in Brown-Tan. It’s creamy and coffee-colored, and brown is everywhere right now. Samantha is wearing those in Wide.
Xero Wynn Red
Another trend this year is color. Though can we really call that a trend? I think it’s more that people are tired of being constrained and want to find joy in the little things.
The Xero Wynn Red gives retro vibes and is an on-point pop of color. They have a slimmer fit that is secure through the midfoot and heel. Good news for people who tend to flop around in their shoes, but they are not super wide in the toe box. The feel is light and flexible, and I find them really comfortable. This is one of Xero’s best shoes, IMO.
True to size. Slightly narrow on my wide toes, but the mesh upper is forgiving and I still wear them comfortably.
Koel Ila Suede
Want to shop int he EU? You can also find these directly from Koel here.
New color and restock of the green suede that sold out in a flash last fall! These are my favorite cool sneakers, and I particularly love the green suede. It styles like a neutral but is also fun and colorful. The suede is also a little softer than the smooth leather Ila with no break in time.
In addition to the green being back, we added a new beige with burgundy stripe coloway! And because these are once again selling out fast, we’ve already placed a new restock order and there miiiight be some more colors coming late spring. It’s not hard to see why these were our bestselling sneaker in 2025.
Mukishoes Lyra Rheia
You can also find these directly from Mukishoes in the EU here, and use code ANYAMUKI for 10% off
Alright, Mukishoes launched the Lyra sneakers last spring for the first time and they are soooo soft. So I was really excited when they expanded on that line and introduced several new colors this year. They have your essential white, a very on-trend chocolate brown, and some lovely pops of color. I love them all, but I think I am most excited about the brown.
These are medium wide, but are so soft that they can work for people who are on the wider end of the spectrum. Still probably not advisable for extra wide feet. If you like this style but want a wider fit and/or some extra cushion, check out the Wyde Nova!
Ohne Project – Extra Wide Friendly
Use code ANYAOP10 for 10% off
Ohne makes some of the most stylish shoes in barefoot, I have loved seeing their new styles come out. Most exciting to me this spring is an extra wide version of their ever-popular 080 sneaker. Also, I am really into their Lumi loafers and their Retro Run sneakers. They do an excellent job of being very on-point style wise without cutting corners on the fit.
Ohne is a brand that makes entirely vegan shoes, which sometimes I am not super into because I don’t like plasticky faux leather. However, I have never had an issue with any of Ohne’s materials. In fact they have worn very well and look and feel great. I basically love everything they make!
