How to Choose the Right Sandals for Your Child’s Foot Shape — A Parent’s Guide
Share
Buying the right sandal sounds simple — until you’re faced with foot shapes, sizing charts, fit complaints, and return labels.
Every child’s foot is different. And as parents, we’re often left guessing.
So we built this EQW SPORT Fit Guide to help you choose sandals that are:
- Comfortable
- Supportive
- Developmentally appropriate
- Actually worn (instead of rejected!)
🦶 Common Foot Shapes
1. Wide Feet
Look for:
✅ Wide toe boxes
✅ High volume straps
✅ Room to grow without pinching
2. Flat Feet
Look for:
✅ Flexible soles
✅ Slight heel support
✅ Avoid arch forcing
3. High Arches / High Insteps
Look for:
✅ Deep instep allowance
✅ Multi-point adjustability
✅ Softer top straps
4. Sensory-Sensitive Feet
Look for:
✅ Seamless linings
✅ No hard stitching
✅ Soft straps + easy on/off
🧩 Why EQW SPORT Works for All Foot Types
We build adjustability and comfort into every single pair:
- Velcro that adjusts over toes + ankle + heel
- Molded footbeds with space for toe splay

And if you're ever unsure — our customer service is trained to help you pick the right style for your child’s foot shape.
