width
also called shoe width
The width grade a shoe is lasted to — a letter grade (AA narrow, B, D, 2E wide, 4E/6E extra-wide), where the same letter reads as a different absolute width by gender (a women's B and a men's D are both 'medium'). It is footwear's real SECOND fitting dimension alongside size: brands that grade width (New Balance especially, and many on Zappos) expose it as a live selector that swaps SKUs, so it is a buyable merchandising facet, eligible to vary like any facet — the footwear analogue of the apparel waist×length grid. Distinct from the physical `width` dimension (a measured length): this is a categorical fit grade, not a millimetre extent. Optional and single: every shoe has a width but most listings offer only the medium grade and never state it; which widths are actually offered is a downstream Seedbed statement.
Width is answered with one word chosen from the widths list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
It belongs to facet — one facet of a product.
