Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I saw this posted on the PP clubfoot board and thought it would be helpful to the families here. This company provides custom fit shoes for kids. I contacted them, and they're willing to sell split sizes for no additional cost. The prices are about the same or slightly higher than Stride Rite. The advantages that I see over this company's shoes versus any others that I've found are that the shoes are machine washable and scuff resistant, so they should last longer and look newer, plus they're pretty close to custom fit as they have inserts for adjustable width. There are no shipping charges for US & Canada and they claim to have low shipping fees for the rest of the world. I have not ordered yet, so I cannot vouch for the product, but I will be ordering some for so she can have a set of shoes that fit *both* her feet! Here's the website: http://preschoolians.com/ Oh, and they also have " special " socks that are supposed to be made from fibers that help to heat the foot when cold and keep it dry when warm- might be worth trying for someone with a sweaty foot kid in the FAB. The shoes are supposed to address the kids' sweaty feet also. I'd love to hear from anyone if you have experience with this or similar product!
