Womens Sandals for Long Toes

We know that people are all built a little differently. Some of our customers have wide feet and some have narrow feet. Others have high or low arches, some have short toes and others have long toes. This makes for quite a challenging experience when buying the right shoes. Where do you even start?

If you have long toes you might have had a hard time finding sandals that fit just right in the past. And there's nothing worse than struggling to find a sandal that fits. Even open-toed sandals can be a poor fit for your foot shape and toe length. Having longer toes inherently means that your whole foot is going to be slightly longer and larger in size and require special footwear. I dread having to shop for sandals for my long toes, because I know I'll usually end up disappointed. Sometimes I wish I could find sandals as easily as I find dresses or a pair of jeans.

That’s alright! Luckily for you, we have developed some great sandals for long toes. Just for you.

We know from studies that having longer toes means that it requires more energy to take each step and that you generate more shock than folks with shorter toes. This means the muscles in your feet have to work harder to maintain stability as you walk. This can affect your balance and endurance when running or on long walks.

An improperly fitted shoe or sandal means the foot can slide around, or be scrunched up, leading to instability and blisters or even more substantial injuries long term. When we create all of our shoes, we take the time to look at foot modeling studies and other expert-provided information to be sure that we are creating sandals that will fit many different kinds of feet.

Our recommendation is that you head into your local shoe store and have your feet measured. And don’t rely on a measurement that you had done that one time you needed nice fancy shoes for a wedding a decade ago. As we get older the soft tissues and ligaments in our feet will stretch and relax. This causes our feet to change shape and size over time. Including in our toes.

Knowing exactly what length of sandal to be on the lookout for is going to be a huge help in your search for the perfect pair. Also, this might be stating the obvious, but search for sandals designed specifically for people with long toes. Do some research online and read the reviews of folks that are looking for the same thing.

Besides that, when searching for the right shoe or sandal for long toes, keep in mind that there are a couple of features that will help guarantee you’ll get a nice snug fit for your longer toes and feet.

Be on the lookout for a well-cushioned and extra supportive sandal with added stability features. With the proper padding and support in the right places, it will aid in balancing out some of the mechanics of foot motion that occurs with longer toes. Adrian Esterman 1, Louis Pilotto found that flat feet had significantly poorer outcomes under stress than feet with an arch in them. Since this can be a companion issue for those with long toes, you need to sure that you are getting sandals with the correct arch support for your flatter feet.

To know that you are getting the most comfort and support, you should know the basic components of the shoe and what features to look for in each of them. We have taken the time to look at all the factors which lead to correctly supported feet of all shapes and sizes. These are the factors that we have identified as being critical to healthy feet for people with long toes.

• The Upper – This is the topmost portion of the sandal that covers or wraps around the top and sides of your feet. The material for this portion is important because if your toes rub against it you don’t want it to be uncomfortable or create a blister.

The most commonly used materials for sandals best for long toes are soft leathers like suede, synthetics, and in some sports sandals, a breathable textile fabric blend. Whatever it’s made out of, make sure it’s soft or padded.

• The Footbed and Midsole – Next is the footbed and midsole, where the bottom of your foot sits. This is where the cushion and support come in. Ideally, the footbed is contoured to match the natural curves of the bottom of your feet. Arch support is a big factor in that. Look for an anatomically shaped design with a midsole that is padded with EVA foam, memory foam, or a good layer of cork. This will give you the support you need and help with shock absorption.
• The Toe Box – This is, well exactly what it sounds like. This is the space where your toes sit. For folks with wide feet, they look for a wide toe box to make sure their little piggies don’t get squished. You on the other hand need to look for a more elongated toe box.
• The Outsole – This is the part of the sandal where the rubber meets the road as they say. Shoot for a pair of sandals with a durable rubber outsole with a thick lug style tread. This will provide good traction on all surfaces which will help with your stability. Plus, a tough outsole means they can take a little more use and last a good long while.
• Adjustability and Closing – For sandals you’re either going to slip them on, or there will be some strap that forms the upper portion of the sandal that needs to be fastened once your foot is in the shoe. Most sandals that aren’t slip-ons have either velcro, a buckle, or a hook-and-loop design.
• Other Features – To get the most stable sandal out there that will keep you balanced we highly recommend looking for a pair with adjustable straps. This will allow you to get a nice snug fit. Ensuring your feet don’t slide around and cause any unnecessary instability.

Along those same lines, a bonus feature to keep an eye out for in active-wear sandals is a moisture-wicking lining. Again, aiding in stability to prevent slipping around in case your feet get a little sweaty. Also, a deep heel cup with plenty of cushioning is going to be critical for absorbing shock. Helping save any undue stress on your feet and joints.

• Some Options – Narrow width shoes may be something to look into, as most people with long toes tend to have more narrow feet. Now that’s not always one hundred percent true (which is why you should get your feet professionally measured!) Though it might be worth investigating. Narrow width sandals may have the correct extended toe box for your extended toes.
