10 reasons your next sneakers should have room for all ten toes

From the All Ten team · 3 minute read

If your feet are wide, you know the routine. Size up. Break them in. Give up. Try another brand. The pairs that pinched end up in the back of the closet, and the ones that fit look like medical equipment.

All Ten is a different kind of sneaker: a wide, foot-shaped toe box, real cushion underneath and a certified slip-resistant outsole, in six styles that look like normal sneakers. Here’s what changes when your shoe is finally shaped like your foot.

Note: Read this before you buy another pair of sneakers.

1. Your toes finally have room.

Most sneakers taper to a point right where your foot is widest. All Ten is built the other way around: wide and rounded up front, so your toes lie flat and spread out.

You’re not alone in a shoe that’s too narrow: in a review of the research, 63–72% of people wore shoes that didn’t fit the width or length of their feet.1

No pinching. No toes pressed together by noon.

2. You stop sizing up.

Going up a size gets you length, not width, so your heel slips out with every step.

Every All Ten pair is wide at the front and snug at the heel, in your real size. Each product page has a 30-second size finder to get it right the first time.

Your heel stays put.

3. Real cushion, not a barefoot sole.

Barefoot shoes got the toe room right, then took away the cushion. Every All Ten pair has real foam underneath, from light and springy to Bolster, our tallest, rocker-shaped sole.

Room up front. Cushion underneath.

4. Wet floors stop being scary.

Every All Ten outsole is certified slip-resistant, for wet crosswalks, rainy parking lots, tile and slick floors.

Grip you don’t have to think about.

5. Still comfortable at hour eleven.

Long shifts are where narrow, thin-soled shoes catch up with you. Ledger has a wipe-clean upper, a cushioned rocker sole and room for your toes to spread as the day goes on.

Made for hour eleven, not minute one.

6. Nobody will guess they’re “comfort shoes.”

Nothing orthopedic about the look. Clean knit uppers and white foam soles that go with jeans, scrubs or a summer dress.

Daylong alone comes in six colors, white included.

7. There’s one for every kind of day.

Everyday errands, big days on your feet, gravel paths, yard work, easy days and long shifts. Six pairs, one standard: the same toe room, cushion and grip in every one.

8. Easy on, easy off.

Breezeway’s soft stretch knit gives where your foot needs it, and a heel loop helps them on without bending and tugging.

Our easiest pair to wear all day.

9. It costs less than the pairs in the back of your closet.

How many shoes have you bought that pinched by lunch? Most All Ten pairs are $69.95, Ledger is $59.95, and US shipping is free.

And if the size is wrong, the exchange is free.

Questions

Are All Ten shoes barefoot shoes?

No. They have the wide, foot-shaped toe box people love about barefoot shoes, with real foam cushion underneath and a certified slip-resistant outsole.

How do they fit?

Wide and rounded at the toes, snug at the heel. Sizes are unisex and every size shows the US women's and men's size. Each product page has a size finder that picks your size from your foot length.

What if they don't fit?

Wear them for up to 30 days. If the size isn't right, exchange it for free. Shipping in the US is free too.

Will they help with bunions or plantar fasciitis?

All Ten makes comfort sneakers, not medical devices, and we can't say they'll treat or prevent any condition. If you have a foot condition, ask your doctor or podiatrist what to look for in a shoe.
