For any feet there are certain characteristics that make a great sandal but, if you have wide or extra-wide feet, or health related foot problems, there are extra considerations to take into account.

They should have enough width and depth. Of course, you need the width and depth to accommodate your feet and ankles without pinching or squeezing, especially in hot weather when your feet will swell throughout the day.

They fit well. It’s also important to ensure the right fit and quality materials to reduce rubbing. Again, as hot weather creates sweating, you need to reduce foot movement within the sandal itself.

How should sandals fit? It is important that your sandals fit as well as any normal shoes you might wear. Just because they’re not full shoes, doesn’t mean they should fit less well. They should fit well across the toe-box, the top of your foot and, if they have a back-strap or full-back, this should be secure around the ankle to reduce rubbing or slipping.

Multiple adjustable straps can help you to ensure a good fit across the front, top and back of your foot to reduce movement and rubbing, ensure a secure fit and total comfort.

Sandals should offer the support and stability you need. As you’ll wear your sandals a lot through the summer, doing lots of walking in them, it’s important that they offer the support you might find from a shoe. Air-bubble or wedge soles can ensure the support and cushioning you need while adding a stylish twist too.

Finally, it’s important that your sandals look great! Just because you have wide feet, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have footwear that helps you to ooze confidence, knowing that you look as good as your feet feel on warm summer days and balmy evenings.

So, how do you stretch sandals for wide feet?
There’s no need to stretch sandals for wide feet. Buying regular sandals and stretching certain parts of them will not only damage the sandal, it will also result in poor fit, an uncomfortable wear and potentially reduced support and stability. The only way to get comfortable, supportive sandals for wide feet is to buy sandals in wider fits, designed especially for wider feet.

Here’s our pick of the best sandals for wide feet for all occasions this summer.
