There is no generally accepted sizing system based on the width of the foot. Each brand has its own parameters and designations, which are difficult to bring to a single standard. Therefore, the only way to find out which size is right for you is to check with the data of the shoe manufacturer.

Nowadays, many brands include foot widths in their measurements, but they do it in different ways. It could be done in millimeters or marked with letters or a combination of letters. For example, you can find the designations from A to E, which are common in North America:

For women’s shoes: A, B, and C, where A is narrow, B is medium, and C is wide.
For men’s shoes: C, D, and E, where C is narrow, D is medium, and E is wide.

You can also come across the codes from C to H which are common in the UK:

For women’s shoes: from C to E where C is narrow, D is standard, and E is wide.
For men’s shoes: from E to H where E is narrow, F is standard, G is wide, and H is extra wide.

And finally, there may be general designations where:

N is narrow
M is medium
R is regular
W is wide.
