The Science Behind EQW SPORT’s Wide Toe Box Design

At EQW SPORT, we don’t follow trends — we follow science.
One of our core design philosophies is offering a wide toe box in all our children’s sandals, and that’s not just for comfort — it’s for healthy growth.

Why Toe Space Matters for Kids

Children’s feet aren’t just miniature adult feet. They’re still forming — with soft cartilage, developing arches, and rapidly growing bones.

Traditional narrow shoes can cause:

  • 🛑 Toe compression
  • 🛑 Misalignment
  • 🛑 Increased risk of bunions or flat feet later on

What Our Wide Toe Box Does:

Encourages natural toe splay for balance and stability
Reduces friction and blisters
Prevents future deformities
Improves comfort during movement

Parents often tell us their kids don’t want to take off their EQW SPORT sandals — that’s a win for both design and health.
