Understanding Jig Shoe Width Fittings

Some of our jig shoes come in two fittings, a standard and a wide fit.

As you can see from the image below the main difference is the toe shape, with the wider fit having a rounder toe front to accomodate a wider front foot. The difference is not huge but can stop toes feeling pinched together. Apart from the front area the rest of the shoe is the same. 

Another point to bear in mind is that some styles and brands are naturally wider and more accomodating than others. For example the Fay brand is quite well known for suiting a narrow foot better.
