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...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 << I'm curious what size shoe your children wear (and how old they are). >> Ted is wearing a pair from summer...it is size 4. I just got rid of a 3 1/2 that he was wearing cause he said ouch and I think it is getting too small. Some shoes that are one size seem similar to another in fit that are another size. I can only afford payless shoes for Ted. Last trip I bought him a size 6 but it was a wide black velcro one that may be useful in the future. I bought myself 2 pairs of shoe like slippers in womans size 8 and Ted snagged one pair from me. They do stay on his feet and he prefers them without socks. Shoes and clothes are so hard for us. I was going to respond to the pants thread and may still do so. is right...I think we have this conversation every year/ Gail, mom to Ted (10) http://www.emandan.freeserve.co.uk/ted.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 My daughter is almost 9 (Februrary birthday) she wears a 13 - 13 1/2, it is next to impossible to find her shoes, you know the pretty girly shoes. We have been in luck that the styles went to the wide toes, but we still find that many have wide toes, but are still narrower close to the top of the foot. She too has very wide feet and her ankles roll in, so she looks like she is flat footed (this weak ankle thing could be related to the DS, but I think that she just gets it from me). We had inserts made to go into her shoes to help support her ankle a few years ago, but then it became impossible to get shoes to fit, so we gave up that idea. My mother in law told me to spend a little more $ on the shoes during school time (get nice soled shoes ) and take them to the cobbler, have him put an insert into the sole of the shoe ( on the inside) to take care of the ankle roll. We haven't tried this yet, maybe next year. One thing I will spend $ on is a nice pair of shoes. Stride Rite carries a variety of widths. Of course even Wal-Mart now is carrying some wide widths in girls dress shoes, I just love that. Let me know if any of you hear of other places or brands that make good fitting shoes.
