Finding shoes that feel comfortable around bunions and wider feet can be difficult, especially when you do not want to compromise on style. Calla Shoes was created specifically around that problem, designing women’s footwear with additional room through the forefoot while maintaining a more standard fit around the heel. The brand was founded by Jennifer Bailey after her own experience struggling to find attractive shoes that worked with bunions.

The collection includes trainers, heels, flats, boots and sandals, with many styles handmade in Portugal using soft materials, cushioned insoles and wider toe boxes. Here are four options that show how the range combines practical comfort features with everyday styling.

Aurora – Black Suede Wide Fit Trainers

The Aurora Black Suede Trainers are designed as an easy everyday option for women who want a modern, low-profile trainer without a restrictive forefoot.

Available through Calla Shoes, Aurora is made from soft suede with a synthetic stretch lining and additional width and depth around the toe box. The style accommodates up to an EEE width fitting.

Inside, there is a removable cushioned footbed with arch support. Being removable is particularly useful for anyone who prefers to use their own compatible orthotic insoles.

The sleek silhouette means the shoe can work with much more than traditional sportswear. It can be paired with jeans and relaxed trousers for casual days or combined with dresses for a more contemporary off-duty look.

One fitting detail is worth noting: the brand currently states that Aurora runs short and recommends choosing one size larger for the best fit.

Best for: everyday wear, casual outfits and women looking for a lightweight wide-fit suede trainer.

Gracie – Black Leather Block Heels

Comfortable occasion shoes can be particularly difficult to find when the forefoot needs additional space.

The Gracie Black Leather Block Heels from Calla Shoes offer a more supportive alternative to narrow high-heeled sandals.

They are crafted from soft leather with a lamb-leather lining and feature wide criss-cross straps across the front. The straps help keep the foot secure while also providing coverage around the bunion area. The style is designed to accommodate widths up to EEE.

Gracie has an 8 cm block heel combined with a 2 cm platform. The broader heel creates a more stable base than a narrow stiletto, while the cushioned, arch-supported insole adds another comfort-focused detail.

The black leather finish also makes the design versatile enough for evening dresses, tailored trousers or wedding-guest outfits.

Best for: parties, weddings, evening events and anyone wanting a wider-fit block heel.

Cosmos – White Wide Fit Trainers

For a sportier look, the Cosmos trainer combines a chunky sole with a more generous fit through the front of the shoe.

The white version available from Calla Shoes is designed for EE and EEE width feet. It retains a standard fit around the heel while adding extra width and depth through the toe box.

The trainer has a 3 cm sole and a removable moulded footbed with cushioning and arch support. Its upper combines soft leather and textile, while the wider construction is intended to reduce pressure on sensitive areas around the front of the foot.

Because the insole is removable, the shoe may also be more adaptable for customers who need to use their own suitable orthotics.

The white finish and chunky profile make Cosmos an easy choice for casual wardrobes, particularly with denim, wide-leg trousers or relaxed weekend clothing.

Best for: everyday walking, casual outfits and women wanting a roomier chunky trainer.

Why Fit Matters for Bunions and Wide Feet

The central idea behind Calla Shoes is not simply making the entire shoe bigger.

Many of its designs maintain a more conventional fit around the heel while creating additional space through the forefoot and toe box. That can help avoid the heel slipping while giving the front of the foot more room.

The brand also uses features such as softer uppers, stretch linings, fewer irritating seams and cushioned, arch-supported insoles across different styles.

Footwear cannot reverse a bunion, but appropriately fitting shoes can help avoid adding unnecessary pressure or rubbing around a sensitive big-toe joint. People with severe bunions or significant foot problems may need more specialised footwear or professional advice.
