The weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining, and that means one thing: It’s sandal season. And the most important thing you can do is find a pair of sandals that fits. If you have wide feet, that may be more of a challenge. Maybe you’ve endured strappy styles that squeeze or too-narrow flip-flops in the past. But no more: We have scoured the market to find the best sandals for wide feet.

Before you pick your pair, think about what exactly you are looking for. Do you want something that you can wear all day, every day, designed for comfortable walking? Or are you searching for a style that’s a bit dressier, with, say, a strappy vamp or slight heel or wedge? Once you’ve figured that out, it’s time to think about fit. For guidance, we talked to Cinzia Maag, founder and CEO of luxury and responsible footwear and accessories brand Inuikii, who says, “You want to find an ergonomic footbed that is also not too narrow. The quality of the insole lining is therefore a decisive factor here.” She adds, “The material of the upper is also important. This should be soft, so that it can adapt to the shape of the foot and the foot is not squeezed.” Bonus tip: Look for the brands that let you choose from multiple widths, allowing you to customize your shoe to your foot.

Without further ado, here are the 15 best sandals for wide feet.

Arizona Big Buckle

If you own a pair of Birkenstocks, you probably aren’t surprised to see them on this list. These have a regular width that keeps wider feet in mind, so your foot will sink into the soft footbed. Use the straps to tighten or loosen the slide for the perfect fit.

Sizes: 4–12½

Colors: High shine butter, high shine mud green, high shine cobalt, and more

Widths: Narrow, regular

What reviewers are saying: “I’ve been wanted these Birks for years and I finally took the plunge. These are my go-to sandals for everything and a fashion staple, too! The soft bed really does conform to your foot’s natural stride and they are so cute with skinny jeans, tights, shorts, and even casual summer dresses.”

Everiali Slingback Flatform Sandals

This sleek leather pair is for the minimalist. An adjustable slingback keeps your feet from shifting, and the molded footbed feels soft on the soles.

Sizes: 5–11

Colors: Black

Folded Slides

For the minimalist, these easy on-and-off slides are going to be the perfect addition to any summery fit. The light strap and black outsole creates a demure contrast that allows for simple pairing. Soft nappa leather gives flexibility around your foot.

Sizes: 35–42

Colors: Ivory, black

Jack Braid Dual-Band Sandals

Bottega's braided leather pair exude quiet luxury. The multi-strap design allows for you to customize the fit to the width of your foot, creating extra security with each step.

Sizes: 5–12

Colors: Barolo, cane sugar, black, 2015 ardoise

The Wrap Sandal

The soft leather ties around the ankle stay put, for a chic and wearable style.

Sizes: 3–14

What reviewers are saying: “I have never been able to wear straps sandals but these straps hit in just the right spots. So cute and comfortable.”

Sawyer Sandal

Adjustability is key in Rachel Comey's leather pair. Strap the shoe around your foot in three places, ensuring a custom fit. With a pair of cutoff shorts, this is a style that you will wear all season long.

Sizes: 6–11

Colors: Dark brown

Lavern Sandals

Elegance is exhibited in the daintiness of these sandals. The crinkled texture of the patent leather softens the style, and gold-tone adjustments on the straps allow you to personalize the width of this sandal.

Sizes: 6–10

Colors: Midnight crinkle patent, silver metallic leather

Dream Cloud Sandals

It only makes sense that Lane Bryant’s mission of unparalleled inclusivity includes the brand’s footwear. The wide width of this pair extends past the sole and upper shoe, minimizing tightness or any pinching.

Sizes: 7–14

Colors: Gold, black

Widths: Wide

Wovette 35 Flareblock Sandals

Offering three different widths, Stuart Weitzman has a shoe that is going to fit your foot. The braided straps give this pair a rustic bohemian vibe, and a block heel creates just a little boost of height without adding discomfort.

Sizes: 3½–13

Colors: Tan

Widths: Narrow, medium, wide

Bubble Crossed

Like its clothing, Inuikii footwear is produced with an eco-conscious mindset to promote responsible fashion. This particular sandal has an adjustable strap around the heel and plush leather construction to provide comfort, while the platform adds a few inches.

What reviewers are saying: “These are probably one of the most comfortable sandals I own. I’m so glad these are still being sold as I got mine last summer.”

Selva Stretch Stiletto Mule Sandals

For a pair that's a little dressier, we turn to Sergio Rossi. This heeled mule is ideal for those with wider feet because of the stretchy fabric of the vamp that shapes to your foot.

Sizes: 6–10

Padded Nappa Leather Sandals

These padded Prada sandals are a splurge, yes, but they are worth it: Hook-and-loop straps tailor the pair to the width of your feet.
