DB Shoes Fitting Guide | Extra Wide Shoe Sizing Help

Find the right fit with DB Wider Fit Shoes, specialists in extra wide footwear.
This guide explains how DB width fittings work and how to measure your feet for the most accurate result.

Understanding DB Width Fittings

DB shoes are available in two variable fitting options:

• 2V Width
  Adjustable between 2E and 4E widths. Suitable for standard or slightly broader feet.
  
  
•  6V  Width
  Adjustable between 4E and 6E widths. Designed for wider or swollen feet where extra room is needed.

These variable fittings allow you to fine-tune both width and depth by removing insoles or adjusting fastenings.
Learn more about how this works on the DB Wider Fit Shoes website – Removing Insoles and Adjusting Fastenings.

How to Measure Your Feet

To get the most accurate fit, we recommend using the official DB Shoes Measuring Chart, available in separate guides for women (pink) and men (blue).

Important:
When printing the chart, ensure it is set to 100% size. Do not allow your printer to scale or shrink the document. To verify accuracy, check the printed ruler scale at the bottom of the page against a physical ruler or tape measure. If the centimetres don’t align, your measurements will not be accurate.
