A suitable pair of sandals not only brings comfort but also cleverly conceals flaws, making the figure slimmer and more graceful. However, not everyone knows how to choose sandals that are both comfortable and flattering. Let's explore with Shondo how to choose sandals that suit each foot shape through this article so that every step you take is confident and charming.
1. Instructions on how to choose the right sandals according to your foot shape
Choosing sandals that fit your foot shape not only helps you move comfortably but also helps protect your foot health. Below are detailed instructions to help you choose the right pair of sandals that best suit your foot shape.
1.1. Big, rough feet
If you have big, rough feet, prioritize sandals with wide straps, wedges, platforms, gladiators, and square toes to create a slimmer look. You should limit wearing sandals with thin straps, pointed toes, or simple designs because they will make your feet look even rougher and bigger.

1.2. Thin, sinewy feet
Skinny, sinewy legs should choose sandals with wide straps, sandals with flowers, bows (for women) or T-strap sandals to create a fuller feeling. Avoid sandals with thin straps, dark sandals because they will "reveal" the defect of skinny legs.

1.3. Short legs
Short legs will be able to "cheat" their height effectively with bread sandals, high platform sandals, high heels with thin straps (for women) or nude colors. On the contrary, you should limit flat sandals or sandals with straps across the ankle because they can make your legs look shorter, causing an aesthetic loss.

1.4. Long legs
With long legs, you have more options such as flat sandals, sandals with ankle straps or elaborate details. However, you should limit high-heeled sandals to avoid creating an unbalanced feeling for the overall outfit.

1.5. Bow legs
If you have bow legs, prioritize sandals such as thick-soled sandals, platform sandals, X or Y cross straps and shoes with a moderate height of 3 - 5cm will help balance your legs, create a slim feeling and effectively hide the defect.
You should avoid wearing thin or high heels because they will make your legs look even more skinny, revealing bow legs, imbalance, and can even cause injury.

1.6. Egyptian foot (big toe, small heel)
For Egyptian feet, the best choice for you is round-toe, open-toe sandals or sandals with a back strap to create balance and harmony for the toe area, cover the defect of a large big toe and avoid feeling stuffy and uncomfortable.
In addition, to increase aesthetics, you should avoid square-toed sandals or sandals with too high a slope because they will expose the big toe, creating a rough feeling for the foot, causing pain, discomfort, and even sprained ankles.
1.7. Roman foot (wide toe)
Shoes such as wide-toe, square-toe, rounded-toe or strap-back sandals are a good choice for those with Roman feet. These types of shoes will create comfort for the toe area, avoid causing pressure and discomfort, help stabilize the foot and prevent the sandal from slipping when moving.
However, Roman feet have wide toes, so you should limit pointed-toe sandals or sandals that are too tight at the toes, which will cause pain and discomfort when moving because it will squeeze your toes.

1.8. Greek foot (long index toe)
Doll-style round-toe sandals, open toes, with horizontal or diagonal straps will suit Greek feet with long index fingers. This will create balance and harmony for the toe area, hiding the unsightly defect of a long index finger.
However, you should limit pointed sandals because they will squeeze your toes, causing pain and discomfort when moving, and can even damage your toenails.
