Podstory WideStep XII — Extra Wide EVA Comfort Sandals

The Podstory WideStep XII is purpose-engineered for individuals with wide, extra-wide, or swollen feet resulting from conditions including bunions, plantar fasciitis, lymphedema, diabetes-related foot swelling, and pregnancy-induced foot expansion. The footbed width is 15% broader than standard sandal sizing across all measurement points including the heel, mid-arch, and ball of foot, providing unobstructed toe splay that allows the natural widening of the foot during weight-bearing stance. The toe box features an open-frame design that eliminates any lateral compression across the fifth metatarsal, the most common site of bunion pain in wide-footed individuals. Adjustable hook-and-loop closure straps at two independent positions allow precise width customization at the forefoot and midfoot independently, accommodating asymmetric foot widths that differ between left and right feet. EVA foam density is reduced to Shore A 38 throughout the footbed for maximum plushness under edematous tissue that is hypersensitive to pressure. A seamless strap inner lining eliminates any rubbing contact points against bunion prominences and hammer toes. Diabetic-safe materials pass ASTM F2913 friction standard for slip resistance on clinical floor surfaces. Available in full and half sizes from US 5 to US 15 in both standard and extra-wide configurations. Podstory WideStep XII is suitable for clinical rehabilitation settings, long-haul flights, and everyday home use. Weight per pair: 235 g in size US 9 wide.
