Understanding Your Child’s Foot Shape — And How EQW SPORT Accommodates All of Them

One of the most overlooked aspects of buying kids' shoes is understanding their individual foot shape.

At EQW SPORT, we build sandals to accommodate:

  • Wide feet
  • High insteps
  • Low arches
  • Square or Roman toe shapes
  • Thick ankles or narrow heels

1. The 5 Most Common Foot Types in Children

👟 Wide Forefoot – Needs a roomy toe box and flexible upper
🧦 High Instep – Needs deeper fit and multiple straps for comfort
🦶 Flat Foot – Needs neutral support with flexible movement
👣 Square Toe Shape – Needs broad toe space, not tapered toes
🩴 Chubby Ankles/Narrow Heel – Needs secure heel cup and adjustable closure

2. How EQW SPORT Adapts

  • Multi-strap adjustment for volume and width control
  • Wide base + flared sole for balance and stability
  • Soft linings + no internal seams = No red marks or rubbing
  • Slip-resistant outsole curvature that guides natural gait

We make it easier for you to buy shoes with confidence — and for your child to wear them with joy.
