Wide Sperry Boat Shoes for School – Comfortable, Durable, and they Fit Wide Feet!
Does your school have a dress code that requires children to wear Sperry boat shoes? Are you having a hard time figuring out which Sperry models work best for children with wide feet? There are several different styles made by Sperry, but the ones I will show you are the most supportive, durable, and comfortable models that are approved by most schools. I will show you a list of the best wide Sperry boat shoes for school based on my many years of shoe fitting experience.
I know which Sperry boat shoes can fit children with wide feet and are approved by most schools from having fitted them before. The shoe store that I work for focuses on helping children with “complicated” foot shapes as well as foot problems, but we provide regular shoe fittings as well.
During the back to school season, I get to try several different shoe brands and styles.
What Makes the Sperry Shoes that I Recommend Ideal for Kids with Wide Feet?
The Sperry boat shoes that I recommend have round toe-boxes instead of pointier ones which makes them ideal for children with wide feet. Take a look at the image below to better visualize the difference between one of the Sperry shoes that I recommend and a different model.
Both Sperry shoes are the same size in length, but do you notice how the model on the right has a rounded toe-box compared to the model on the left?
Another awesome feature that the Sperry shoes I recommend provide is that they come with extra padding around the heels to cushion your child’s heels and prevent the formation of blisters:
Can Sperry Boat Shoes Fit Children with High Insteps?
There are two models that are capable of accommodating children with wide feet and high insteps. Just make sure that you take a look at the description below each one of the shoes that I recommend to find out the features that the shoe provides and what shoe size you should order to allow for the correct amount of growing room.

How to Prevent Your Kids’ Boat Shoes from Becoming Untied
Sperry boat shoes tend to come untied quite often because of the type of laces that come with the shoes, so make sure that you double knot the shoes or replace the laces with a different kind that stays tie better.
