Wide Sandals for Girls – The Best Summer Sandals for Girls with Wide or Extra Wide Feet

Does your daughter need a pair of wide summer sandals to fit the shape of her wide or extra wide feet? I have created several resources for children with wide feet, and in this specific one, I will show you a list of wide sandals for girls. The sandals I will show you provide round toe-boxes, extra depth, and oversized openings for easy on and off.

The most common mistake that I see parents make is to provide their kids with larger sandals to take the pressure away from the widest part of the feet. Stop doing this as you will compromise your daughter’s stability and make her more prone to falls and injuries.

What Makes the Sandals that I Recommend Effective for Wide Feet?

1️⃣ Rounder Toe-Boxes: This feature prevents your daughter’s toes from rubbing against one another or the side of the sandals. Let me show you the difference between a sandal that comes with a round toe-box versus one that doesn’t. Do you notice how the sandal on the right has a much rounder toe-box compared to the sandal on the left?

2️⃣ Extra Depth: This feature allows your child’s feet to fit deeply inside the sandals and prevents the top part of your child’s feet (instep), from rubbing against the top part of the sandals. Let me show you the difference between a pair of sandals that provides extra depth versus one that doesn’t:

3️⃣ Oversized Openings: The sandals should provide oversized openings for easy on and off:

Summertime is approaching, and if your girl has wide feet it can be quite time-consuming to find a pair of sandals that fit. In addition to fitting the shape of your girls’ wide feet perfectly, the sandals need to provide good support and dry fast. Some of the additional features that the summer sandals I recommend provide are:

➡️ Good Traction: This feature helps prevent your girl from slipping and falling when walking or running on wet surfaces.

➡️ Good Support: Your girl will be running and playing in her sandals for most of the day, so it’s important to properly support her feet and minimize the impact that her feet take every time they come in contact with the ground.

➡️ Padded Heels: This feature is important as it will cushion your girls’ ankles and prevent them from rubbing against the sandals. Padded heels are extremely effective in preventing blisters.

➡️ Dry Fast: New technology allows sandals and water shoes to dry much faster. This is important to keep your girls’ feet healthy and prevent them from developing foot issues such as blisters, calluses, or corns.

How to Retrieve Your Child’s Exact Foot Length and Shape

You won’t be able to order the correct sandal size online if you don’t know your girl’s exact foot size to begin with. I created a virtual shoe fitting service that will help you retrieve your child’s shoe size from home.

Certain shoe brands are more consistent when it comes to manufacturing shoes for children with wide or extra wide feet, and I will describe them below.

The Best Shoe Brands for Girls with Wide Feet

Some of the best shoe brands that you want to start getting familiar with are:

➡️ Merrell

➡️ Jambu

➡️ See Kai Run

➡️ Stride Rite

➡️ Keen (only one style)

How Long Should Kids Wear Their Sandals?

The idea is to provide your girl with a pair of sandals that allow her to play and run around for most of the day without her feet or legs getting tired. Even though the sandals I describe below are supportive, I don’t recommend that your girl wears them for more than 4 hours a day. I strongly recommend you switch her back to her pair of everyday sneakers during the day.

Wide Sandals for Mom and Dad?

Before you leave I wanted to let you know that I actually wrote an article that describes the best women’s sandals for wide or extra wide feet. If you always have a hard time finding summer sandals to fit the shape of your wide or extra wide feet, I suggest that you check a different website that has a list of comfortable, lightweight, and supportive summer sandals for women.

Are Any Other Sandal Choices Available?

Wearing sandals that are too narrow can lead to several foot issues including blisters, calluses, and corns. I want you to remember one thing: It doesn’t matter how narrow or wide your kids’ feet are, there is always at least one particular shoe style out there that will fit the shape of your kids’ feet perfectly, and I will help you find it. My email address is:
