Are you having a hard time finding a pair of shoes for your child with long toes? Do you feel like you try a whole bunch of different shoes but you always end up empty-handed? I have put together a list of the best shoes for kids with long toes that I have fitted at the shoe store where I work.
To accommodate your child’s long toes there are 2 key features that your kids’ shoes must provide:
1️⃣Extra Depth: This feature helps prevent you from having to buy shoes that are too large to prevent your kids’ toes from rubbing against the front of the shoes. Deep shoes will allow your kids’ feet to fit deeply inside the shoes and allow for extra space for your toes. Let me show you the difference between a shoe that provides extra depth and one that doesn’t:
2️⃣ Rounder Toe-Boxes: This feature helps prevent your kids’ long toes from rubbing or overlapping against one another as well as preventing your kids’ toes from rubbing against the side or front of the shoes. Let me show you the difference between a shoe with a round toe-box and one with a pointier one:
I only review shoes that I have fitted before, as that is the only way for me to tell how well-made the shoes are, the amount of support that they provide, and how they fit. Disclosure: Keep in mind that we may receive commissions when you click our links and make purchases.

Unsure About What Shoe Size You Should Order?
In each of the descriptions of the shoes, I indicate whether you need to order a half size or a whole size bigger than your child’s current foot size to provide the correct amount of growing room.
How to Find Out Your Child’s Foot Size Online
To buy the correct shoe size online, you need to be 100% sure of your child’s foot size. If you don’t know your child’s exact foot size, refer to the article below:
How to Measure Your Kids’ Foot – 2 Simple Steps to Determine Foot Length and Foot Width
In that article I help parents determine their child’s exact foot size and whether the child has narrow, medium, wide, or extra wide feet. I also will be able to tell you whether your child has a high instep or not.
The Importance of Wearing the Right Types of Socks
Keep in mind that socks play a key role in accommodating your kids’ long toes. There are certain types of socks that are seamless and won’t constrict your kids’ toes or make them rub against one another. You can find out which are the best seamless socks for children in the following two articles:

The Best Seamless Socks for Boys – End your Morning Dressing Battles with Seamless Socks!
I always recommend parents take their children to be properly fitted for shoes at their local children’s shoe store that they trust. The issue is that most specialized children’s shoe stores have closed down.
I created a map that showcases the best-fitting children’s shoe stores by state, so I suggest you start by taking a look at that map:
