A lucky few seed customers test our prototypes

With over 200 unexpected applicants, we're grateful for the overwhelming support. We're kept busy meeting with shortlisted candidates, shipping prototypes, and collecting feedback.

With the Tester Program being a huge success, we've been able to make our footwear and sizing chart. even wider. Every day is a learning opportunity, and we appreciate your patience as we strive for inclusion.

Milestones achieved

We've hit 1,000 followers after a couple short weeks on Instagram, and our very vocal Pre-launch Facebook Group embraces 500 wide fit warriors. Now that our prototypes have gone through several rounds of corrections, we're excited to begin sharing and testing them with those who have signed up for our Tester Program.

Our second prototype fitting in NY

Our second prototype fitting happens in New York with Wydr's Footwear Designer. A transatlantic meeting with the entire Wydr Studios team is held to make more adjustments in preparation for June's prototype fitting. The team also managed to whittle down the perfect sole cushioning out of a shortlist of 10.

Our pioneering wide width shoe last is made

Countless hours of research and design, and 5 different shoe lasts later, our pioneering wide width inclusive shoe mold is created.

Wydr Studios is born

We assembled an expert team of 10 and prepared our black book of trusted artisans and manufacturers. Our design team began researching and formulating the perfect inclusive shoe, while we sought out those from the plus sized community to come forward and share their hopes with us.
