Feet vary not only in length, but in how they rise, widen and rest.
Some arches lift; others lie close to the floor.
Some forefeet gather neatly; others open into a gentle fan.
Madame Pivot offers five widths to reflect these differences:
| Width | Quiet description | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Flat | A low, level profile | Low instep, foot lying close to the ground |
| Narrow | A closer, contained hold | Slender forefoot; foot that does not widen much when standing |
| Standard | Balanced and unforced | Suits many; a natural starting point |
| Wide | Space to broaden comfortably | Forefoot that opens slightly when weight is placed |
| Extra Wide | Room without pressure | Broad forefoot, square or gently spreading toe-line |
Width does not change the length of the shoe.
It changes the way the shoe embraces the foot across the arch and forefoot.
The right width feels:
Close, but not tight
Steady, but not managed
Present, yet easily forgotten
When the width is right, the shoe does not introduce itself.
It simply lets the body take its place.
