“I am looking for summer sandals which have arch support and preferably come in a wide fit too (I have plantar fasciitis and flat feet)” Twistie
By Laura Martin | Last updated Apr 10, 2024
Feet like spades? No matter! Mumsnetters with wide feet have no need to dread the summer months because we've trawled through the mountains of recommendations which are made on our message boards every day and come up with this fab selection of stylish sandals that will suit even the most ample of trotters.
From the classic Birks to sliders and even flatforms - here are the sandals Mumsnet users with wide feet are rocking this summer.
1. These classic Birkenstocks are perfect if you have wide feet and are super supportive too.
Big fan of Birkenstock for my sandals

2. We're big fans of these stylish flatforms from Whistles which have been bestsellers for a few years now.
Look good & are extremely comfy. The best thing about them is that they have Velcro strap fastenings, so they're completely adjustable for narrow/ wide feet
Whistles Ria Sporty Velcro Sandal, £175

3. Cheap and cheerful Cloud Sliders are surprisingly supportive and comfortable and won't break the bank.
Cheap cloud sliders have great arch support and the cross straps are supportive enough. They are hideous but fashionable and since wearing them as slippers my PF is all but gone.
