A gold sandal is a party and wedding shoe for a girl, not an everyday school sandal. The selection is very small. Crocs in a metallic or silver shade are often the nearest pair we can fit, and our fitters can advise on current styles before you make a special trip.
Gold sandals for girls in the sale sit with the other children’s sandals, and a reduced price does not change the fitting. For the wedding itself, a strap that holds the foot matters more than a tall heel.
Gold sandals for a girls’ wedding have to survive standing, photos and a bit of dancing. A strap across the instep, or an ankle strap she can do up, beats a mule that slips off. Agree gold against the dress in daylight. Silver Crocs can be the nearest metallic sandal we hold, and we will not call them gold if they are not.
Gold sandals for girls with a heel are seldom right for a child. We fit a flat. Wide fit gold sandals for girls depend on the brand, and with so few gold pairs a wider foot may be happier in a white or silver strap we can actually adjust. A wider fit may be more comfortable. An older girl who has reached an adult size can look at women’s gold sandals, still measured properly.
Treat this as the metallic and easy sandal we can often show you, not a promise of a gold heeled party shoe. The Crocs size and fit guide explains how they run.
Yes, if the shoe fits and she can walk in it for the length of the day. Bring the approximate heel height the adults are wearing only as a clue to the look, not as a target for a child. We will fit a secure flat or a very low strap. White sandals are the other pale option if gold is out of stock.
For a young girl, no. A heel on a sandal is less stable than a heel on a closed shoe, and a long day on grass or paving will find it out. An older girl who asks for a low heel has to walk the shop without tipping. If she cannot, we fit the flat and explain why.
Then the honest answer is silver. Crocs are the brand we most often have when a family asks for a metallic sandal for a girl, and they are frequently silver rather than gold. Our fitters can advise on current styles, including anything in the children’s sandal sale.
Not as a standing offer. Width has to be measured, and a wider fit may be more comfortable, but we cannot invent a gold sandal that the brands have not made. A white strap sandal or a silver clog in the right width is often the kinder fit. Pain or a medical concern belongs with a podiatrist.
If you are dressing a child for a wedding, come to Gabriel’s Hill in Maidstone. We will measure both feet and advise on the gold, silver or white sandals we can fit. Women’s styles, for an adult foot only, are on our gold sandals for women page.
