Wide vs. Regular Kids’ Sandals: What’s the Difference?

If you’ve ever wondered whether your child needs wide sandals, you’re not alone. Many parents don’t know the difference between wide-fit and regular-fit footwear — or why it matters.

Regular Sandals:

• Designed to fit an average foot width.
• Can feel tight or restrictive on wider feet.
• Often lead to blisters or discomfort for kids with wider feet.

Wide Sandals:

• Extra space in the toe box and across the forefoot.
• Designed for comfort and healthy foot development.
• Reduce friction, pressure, and the risk of foot problems.

So how do you choose?
If your child has struggled with narrow shoes — complaining of tightness, showing red marks, or refusing to wear them — then wide-fit sandals from EQW SPORT may be the perfect solution.

Our sandals bridge the gap between comfort and support. With plenty of room to grow and move, they let kids enjoy every step of their summer adventures.
