Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Mac is 3.5 and wears a toddler size 10! But, I think, he's a big kid--not heavy, but solid and tall--really doesn't fit his " label " of being Chinese and having Down syndrome. He wears mostly size 4 clothes, a few size 3T still fit and is even in a couple of size 5. He's about 40 inches tall and, I guess, weighs about 40-42 pounds. Is that big for a 3.5 yr. old? He sure seems big to me--especially when he wants to be held!!!! Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy is 10 and wears a size 2 1/2. Just a hint on the built up arch - I buy arch supports at the drugstore for about $7 a pair - I get the women's size small, for athletic shoes. I put them in his shoe whether it has built in arch supports or not. Jimmy tends to pronate his foot (rotate it in - walks on the inside of his foot), so this really helps to get him straightened out again.

If I really look hard I can find nikes or something with velcro (no chareters on the sides anymore as i don't think it's age appropriate) It is getting harder and harder to find the velcro tho. :-( Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Bridget is 8 and is in a 1 wide. She needs the velcro straps and built up arches also, so I have bought Stride Rite. Found some cool looking ones at the oulets for $25. <cindysue@...> wrote: I did manage to find a pair of Nike tennis shoes with Velcro straps a few weeks ago. They were on sale, too and cost around $25 (BTW, I never buy anything unless it's on sale..except jeans from Abercrombie for my girls). It took me forever to find the right tennis shoe for him. He needs something wide, with buildup arch, and he still can't tie his shoes. He's 8 now and wears a size 12 1/2.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 is 10 and wears a size 1. She loves her velcro tennis shoes from Stride Rite, can't remember the actual brand, something with a canyon in the name.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 HI I go to a local Kids Footwear outlet and get my kids Vans and Airwalks. They both have wide feet and need the arch support. These accommodate both problems. We also get a free pair of shoes after buying 12 pairs. My oldest NDS wears a size 12 men's shoe and yes they carry those in a kids store. The youngest is in a size 4. They are name brand but that is not why we buy them. Support and correct fit is the most important again I buy what fits and works best for their feet. Jeannette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNFORTUNATELY, he had a mind of his own and likes to choose his own style, so while I might HAVE the nice clothes.....they are not always on his back, but often in his drawers!!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Maverick is 11, he wears size 8 slim jeans. He wears size 2 shoes. And the only name brands in our house are handme downs unless I buy them at the outlet stores. Yet, my kids look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 at 3.5 was wearing a toddler size 9.5 wide. The only shoes that really fit her well are from Stride Rite, and fortunately we have an outlet not too far away. This last pair of tennis shoes wasn't that cheap there tough because they had the lights on the bottom. But, she tried on/threw across the store (and this isn't like her) at least 8 other pair of tennis shoes, and when she put those light ones on, she walked around, jumped up, and said, " Go Bye Bye " . I don't know if she even noticed the lights until the next night when it was dark, but after wrestling her for over a half an hour at the store, I would have bought just about any pair she actually walked in! PS. And she's NOT my picky shoe kid, my 6 year old is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
