I'm Abby - a writer, mum and former fashion journalist who once upon a time attended London Fashion Week and shot street style photographs on Oxford St. These days I live back in the motherland, Cornwall, where I'm working on a debut novel (think twisty, emotional women's fiction).

But more to the point, I recently discovered something wild: my feet are not just wide, they're extra wide. I didn't even realise that category existed until now (!) but it certainly explains my, er, complicated history with shoe shopping. The red marks. The blisters. The beautiful shoes that didn't agree with me.

Now I know why, I'm on a mission to find peace with shoes once and for all. The Wide Fit Edit where I'll document my journey: honest reviews, wide fit round-ups and personal stories - all in search of the holy grail: a comfortable wide shoe that doesn't look orthopedic.

So if you've ever felt personally victimised by high street shoe shopping, this is the place for you.
