    Shoes for Different Foot Shapes

    This is a thread for recommending a particular style or brand of shoe according to a specific foot shape... example:

    Crocs and Birkenstocks fit short/broad/wide feet really well.

    Or you can warn against a certain style:

    Ballet flats don't work if you have short/broad feet.

    Also... for kids:

    Buy lace-ups instead of buckles for children with high insteps.
    Converse sandshoes don't seem to fit chubby feet very well.

    Just regarding Crocs for kids, i saw recently on today tonight that there'd been a few accidents with them. One child had it caught in an escalator because they bend so easily.

    I can't recommend much because i live in Havainias all year round these days
    (great for short but wide feet though lol)

    Yep, I don't allow my children to wear their Crocs to shopping centres or to Pre-School... but they are great for backyard play... especially messy play that involves paint/dirt/mud etc. And I love to wear mine gardening.

    Diana Ferrari and Colorado are often great brands for wide feet.

    I also think Skeanie shoes are fantastic for pre-walkers. They seem generous in the width too.

    Pumpkin Patch have some good shoes for narrow feet

    SureFit have fantastic sandles for short wide feet
    Crocs are also good for short & wide. There are many different styles out now so there may be better ones for wearing out and about than the traditional style.

    Another havaiana fan here!!! I wear them all year round unless it's too cold or raining and then I'll wear ballet flats (I have narrow feet).
