I literally bought and returned 10 different sandals all were too tight!
I need help finding sandals for chubby feet with a high instep for my baby boy. He's 18 months and a size 6 or 7 or 21/22
I need for the pool too and regular ones . Thanks!

My kids have a very high instep too. I get sneakers for regular, and floafers for the pool.

I got my daughter something similar to these for the pool https://www.amazon.com/Toddler.....psc=1
And stride rites for every day.

Floafers do not fit my sons wide feet

Crocs are slippery on a wet surface, and potentially dangerous around the pool. Other water shoes could work.

Floafers literally make his toes turn purple

These aren't really my taste. I like a open toe and open back... does such a sandal exist for wide feet?

My son has really fat and wide feet too.
Bought 6 pairs of sneakers to try and like 4 sandals. His feet wouldn’t go into any (especially floafers)

These were the only ones that fit and they’re $12

Already ordered the next size up for him!

They are leather AND can be worn in water

Glad I can help! I struggled to find my son shoes for a while and it was very unpleasant.

He currently doesn’t have shabbos shoes because all the nice shoes are too narrow. So he wears sandals on shabbos.

But I did get him cute Veja sneakers that fit well for weekday. And another pair from shein that are great for his feet.

If anyone has links for nice shabbos shoes for 2 year old boy, please send!

I have the target brand of these & they're good on my toddler with wide feet.

For regular shoes I'd go to a store that has many brands of quality shoes & have them fit him. Well worth the price tag.
