The best sandals for wide feet (that still look stylish).

If you flinch when you see a ballet flat, thin strappy stiletto, pointed toe or a patent leather mule, you get it. You're a fellow wide foot girly. We simply can't wear what our narrow-footed friends can. They don't feel our pain, literally.

I have scarring on the sides of my feet from times I have been in denial and skipped out the door in a shoe that doesn't accommodate my broad flipper. Ending the night with blisters, panic band-aids and, in my non-finer moments, doing the bare foot walk of shame, shoes in hand.

Watch: Mamamia on the streets. Do you plan your outfit the night before. Post continues below.

So here are the brands that accommodate us broadies, and the sandals you can live in this summer that won't have you wincing in pain.
