wide width

Not narrow sizing

Wide width describes footwear or clothing sized to accommodate broader measurements than standard.

Shoes in wide width fit feet that are wider across the ball or instep: I need wide width shoes because regular ones pinch.

The term appears on sizing charts, often abbreviated as W or WW for extra wide.
