Narrow-fit shoes for 8 year old dd

Hi

Sheer desperation here.

Can anyone recommend a shoe shop or brand who sell narrow shoes (especially sandals!) for girls??

Clarks and startrite do narrow fit but seemingly once youre a size 1 you only need that in a school shoe....

Buying shoes for her is fast becoming impossible. The length fit right but they can be so loose they fall off her feet. We've tried insoles but they only work with certain types of shoes.

Just wondering if anyone knew of any brands that might be worth a try??

ohhh I sympathise. I have the same problem. I haven’t tried them, but some of the saltwater children’s sandals are supposed to be okay for narrow fit.
good luck op.

Yes, agree on the saltwater sandals. My daughter was the same, all shoes were a struggle, even school shoes. She's an older teen now but from about age 4 - 12 she had saltwater sandals every summer.

We had success with Ricosta. Got them in Start Rite. The European brands so seem to come
up narrower.
