Learn how to measure your child's feet and choose the right size for the Flo Tassel Kids Sandal, with tips on width, adjustability, and fit checks.
Quick answer
For the best fit, measure your child's feet at the end of the day and choose a size that leaves about a thumb's width of growing room. The hook-and-loop strap and padded footbed help fine-tune the fit.
Why measuring matters for sandals
Sandals have an open design, so a precise measurement is even more important than with closed shoes. A sandal that's too big can cause slipping and blisters, while one that's too small will pinch and rub.
The Flo sandal features a hook-and-loop fastening, which allows some adjustability across the instep, but it doesn't change the length. Measuring your child's foot accurately is the first step to a comfortable fit.
Width and adjustability
The Flo sandal's hook-and-loop strap can accommodate different foot widths, but it's not a substitute for the correct length. If your child has wide feet, you may need to size up for extra room, but always check that the heel doesn't slip.
The padded footbed adds comfort, but it also takes up a little space inside the shoe. Keep this in mind when judging the fit—the footbed should support the foot without feeling too snug.
Step-by-step fitting guide
- Measure both feet at the end of the day: Place a piece of paper on the floor against a wall. Have your child stand on it with their heel touching the wall. Mark the longest toe and measure the distance. Repeat for the other foot—they may differ. Use the larger foot as your reference.
- Add growing room: Add about 1 cm (or a thumb's width) to the longest measurement. This allows for growth and prevents the toes from hitting the front of the sandal. Don't add more than a thumb's width—too much room can cause slipping.
- Check the width and instep: The hook-and-loop strap should fasten comfortably without pinching. If the strap is on the tightest setting and still feels loose, consider a smaller size. If it's on the loosest setting and feels tight, try a wider fit or a size up. The strap adjusts across the instep but doesn't change the length.
- Test the fit at home: Have your child wear the sandals indoors for a short time. Check that the heel doesn't slip when walking and that the toes don't overhang the sole. The padded footbed should feel supportive, not cramped. If the heel slips, the sandal is too big—try a smaller size.
