    20 Shoes That People With Narrow Feet Swear By

    Your narrow dogs will ~not~ be barkin' in these shoes.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. A pair of faux leather strappy sandals in case you want the laid-back feel of flip-flops, but with a more ~elevated~ look. You might as well get a couple of pairs because they're less than $20 and come in six colors.

    Promising review: "I have a narrow foot and I can keep these on easily." —Sheri Beckerman

    Price: $18.60+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide fits, and eight colors)

    2. A pair of mesh sneakers reviewers say are comfy enough to run, walk, or even stand in all day long. The fun colors also mean you will for sure get compliments on them. And why else do we wear anything if not for the compliments?

    Promising review: "16 hour shifts on hospital floors and they are great! Seen lots of reviews about them being too narrow which I would agree but for me that is perfect because I have narrow feet! I tried another brand prior and they were way too wide in the toes of the shoes. Love these!" —Ariel

    Price: $45.99 (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and 22 colors)

    3. A pair of lightweight, breathable athletic sneakers so your feet can live their best lives, even after hours of walking with the memory foam insole.

    4. A pair of Circus NY sandals if you're wanting something a little dressier than a run-of-the-mill flip-flop, but don't want to sacrifice comfort.

    5. A pair of espadrille flatforms so pretty that you're never going to want to take them off. These are great for when you want to dress up your outfits this summer but aren't a huge fan of stilettos.

    Promising review: "I have a narrow foot and skinny ankle, and these fit great around my ankle on the tightest setting. They're so comfortable, I can walk a ton in them with no problems and didn't even have issues with them rubbing anywhere when they were brand new." —Laura Harvey

    Price: $25.03+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 23 colors)

    6. Teva sandals that are like all-terrain vehicles for your feet. I have a pair of these, and I've worn them walking my dog around the block and hiking the Narrows at Zion National Park. We love a shoe that can do it all, so wear the tan lines as a badge of honor!

    Promising review: "I have very difficult feet to find shoes for. My feet are flat with a low instep, and I happen to have a triangular shaped foot with a narrow heel. These sandals adjust in two places, and there is enough velcro on the strap to get them tight enough without a bunch of excess flopping around. They are cushy. They feel great!!!" —S. K. 

    Price: $45.29+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 14 colors)

    7. ballet flat because the '00s aesthetic is very in right now, and you deserve to relive some childhood glam. And with so many color options you may just want to add a couple to your cart right now.

    Promising review: "I have problems finding flats that fit correctly since my foot is long but extremely narrow. These flats fit perfectly! They don’t show your toes which is also nice! I bought them in a couple colors. Extremely happy." —Molly

    Price: $23.70+ (available in sizes 5–15, including wide fits, and 21 colors)

    8. Sneakers with elastic across the top so you can slip them on at a moment's notice when you forget to take out the trash on trash day or need to run outside to help your partner bring the groceries in. 

    Promising review: "I love these shoes! So comfortable and a great fit. I have narrow feet and usually have to settle for medium width so they’re a bit loose. These shoes conform nicely to the shape of my foot." —Anne C.

    Price: $28.56+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 53 colors and patterns)

    9. A pair of water-resistant braided sandals with more than 15,000 positive reviews because of their comfort, versatility, and style. Get ready to show off your overpriced pedicure in these bad boys! 

    Promising review: "For a flat sandal that does not have traditional adjustments these are great! I have a narrow midfoot and was able to adjust the strings so that they fit securely. I have worn them for several hours a couple of times and they have NOT stretched and were surprisingly comfortable." —Cathy

    Price: $34.95+ (available in whole sizes 5–11 and 25 colors)

    10. A pair of lace-up loafers to keep your dogs from barkin' if you know what I mean. Your feet are going to thank you for the flexible shape, rounded toe area, and elastic laces.  (You're welcome, feet.)

    Promising review: This was my first pair and I adore them. My foot is fairly narrow, but these fit my foot very well. I love how I can wear with or without socks and with may different outfits. I purchased two other pairs in other colors as well!" —Jennifer W.

    Price: $49.49+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 23 colors)

    11. A pair of these Dr. Scholl's shoes, because you want something you can easily slip on and off when you're in the TSA line and frantically trying to get your shoes off before you go through the security line (we're all familiar with that particular flavor of anxiety).

    Promising review: "I wore these shoes the day I got them and they haven't given me blisters or hurt my feet at all. My feet are narrow but these don't slip off when I walk. They are so cute with so many outfits." —Joe

    Price: $50 (available in sizes 5–13, including wide fits, and 28 colors and patterns)

    12. A pair of Crocs low wedge sandals for walking around all day while still looking fashionable and put together. Just picture yourself exploring Paris sporting these bad boys, and you'll understand why you need them.

    13. pair of Sorel strappy sandals that look like something a super fashionable alien who cares about comfort *and* style would definitely wear. Plus, the cushioned footbeds will basically make you feel like you're walking on the moon.

    Price: $87+ (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors)

    14. A pair of classy pointed-toe mules for elevating any outfit while not killing your feet in the process. These are ideal for peeps who want to dress up but might have some high-heel aversions (me).

    15. A pair of low-heeled pumps with a point toe you can wear to all your friends' upcoming weddings this summer without dreading any post-party blisters as much (like a hangover for your feet).

    Promising review: "These were so comfortable right out of the box and I wore them for 6 hours with NO issues. I am so picky about heels because my feet are narrow, and if the length works, the straps are usually too loose and/or the arch isn’t the right angle. Buy these shoes!" —Madaline

    Price: $29.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and 16 designs)

    17. A pair of Skechers sport sandals with a high-rebound sole and adjustable straps that are going to be a game-changer if you're on your feet all day this summer. Whether you're going on a hike, a walk, or even kayaking, these sandals are going to be your adventure go-to.

    Psst: they're machine-washable.

    Promising review: "Bought these for an upcoming cruise and just love them. I have narrow feet and it's difficult to find a sandal with straps that fit tight enough to be comfortable, and these fit the bill perfectly. I've worn them around the house, and I know they will get a good workout on our trip." —Lyn

    Price: $45.73+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 10 styles)

    18. A  pair of ankle rain boots that don't actually look like rain boots at all, so you can wear them in sunny weather, too! The foam insole provides extra padding, so they're comfy to walk in while a pull tag at the ankle makes getting them on and off a breeze.

    Promising review: "For the affordable price point, I'm extremely happy with the quality, comfort, and fit of these shoes. I've always had trouble achieving the right fit with most boots because of my narrow feet and skinny ankles. With that being said, I'm so thankful I found these Asgard rainboots! I especially appreciate the inner lining of the boot, which doesn't feel uncomfortable on my ankles like other rubberized rainboots." —Aubri P.

    Price: $27.99+ (available in sizes 4–13 and 15 colors)

    19. A pair of slip-on clogs with memory foam arch support perf for anyone who is on their feet all day but still wants to look cute. Slay the house down, CLOGS!

    20. A pair of ankle boots that are giving Western meets Beatles. Featuring crushed velvet and snake-print detailing, these boots were definitely made for strutting.

    Promising review: "I love these boots. I have them in another color. I have an unusually narrow foot. As with all boots, I wear a thick sock and use an insert. I can wear these all day long with no discomfort. Perfect heel height." —Dev

    Price: $59.95 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and three colors)
