Got Wide Feet? Naang Boots Are Made To Fit
Nick at Stridewise recently featured Naang Boots in his video about The Best Boots for Wide Feet, highlighting our EEEEEE widths, handmade construction, hand-welting, and value. If that video brought you here, welcome. I’m dana, one of Naang’s co-founders, and I’m the person to contact about getting your fit right.
There’s one detail I want to expand on: EEEEEE, or 6E, isn’t our limit. We can go as wide as your feet need. We can also go as narrow as your feet need.

How Wide Can Naang Boots Be Made?
Naang Boots can accommodate EEEEEE widths and go wider when your feet need it. The starting point is a conversation about your feet and the fit problems you’ve had. Drop us a line and lets get that conversation started.
A last is the form a boot is built around. Its shape determines much of the boot’s fit, including the space through the forefoot, instep, and heel. Getting a wide fitting right means understanding where you need that space.
You might have a broad forefoot and a narrow heel. Making the entire boot wider could give your toes room while leaving your heel loose. Our goal is room where you need it, with a secure fit through the rest of the boot.
Can Naang Make Boots for Narrow Feet Too?
Yes. Naang can also work with customers who need a narrower fitting boot.
An anatomical toe box follows the shape of the foot. That shape can accommodate a wide foot or a narrow foot. Having room for your toes shouldn’t require accepting a loose midfoot or a heel that moves around.
If standard boots consistently feel too roomy, get in touch. Narrow feet deserve the same attention as wide feet.
Can I Get Bespoke Boots Made to My Exact Foot Measurements?
Naang offers bespoke boot fittings for customers who can visit us in Bangkok. We measure each foot at multiple points and use those measurements to design and build lasts specifically for your feet.
A bespoke fitting goes beyond choosing a length and width. We consider the shape and proportions of each foot, including the forefoot, instep, and heel. Measuring both feet separately allows us to account for differences between them.
If you’re based in Bangkok or planning a visit, get in touch with me to discuss a bespoke fitting and arrange a time to come in.

What Makes Naang’s Handmade Boots Good Value?
Every pair of Naang Boots is handmade in Bangkok with 360-degree hand-welted construction. We use thick leather uppers and leather underfoot components, and build our boots to be resoled and rebuilt.
At the time of writing, our Winnfield boots start at US$399 and Dante boots at US$459. That gives you a concrete starting point for the value Stridewise highlighted: handmade, hand-welted boots with a construction that supports repair.
How Do I Arrange a Wide or Narrow Size?
Contact me through Naang Contact Page, or email info@naangboots.com and address your message to dana.
Tell me your usual boot size, your Brannock size and width if you know them, and where your current boots feel tight or loose. Mention the Naang model you’re interested in, too. That’s our starting point
If you don’t know your measurements, that’s fine. We can start there. I’ll help you work through the sizing information and discuss getting a pair of Naang Boots to fit your feet.
Wide, narrow, or somewhere between the standard options, let’s talk about boots that fit your feet.
Frequently Asked Questions About Naang Boots Sizing and Bespoke Fittings

Does Naang make boots for narrow feet?
Yes. Naang can accommodate narrow feet as well as wide feet. We can work with you on a narrower fitting last to provide a secure fit through the midfoot and heel while allowing room for your toes.
Can I get boots for wide feet with narrow heels?
Naang can work with customers who have a wide forefoot and a narrow heel. These areas need to be considered separately when assessing fit. Contact us to discuss where your current boots feel tight or loose so we can identify the fitting adjustments you need.
Is an anatomical toe box only suitable for wide feet?
No. An anatomical toe box follows the outline of the foot and can suit wide or narrow feet. The aim is to provide space for your toes while maintaining a secure fit through the midfoot and heel.
What is a bespoke boot fitting?
