Hi, my daughter is nearly 8 and has always had one foot bigger than the other. It used to be half a size, but as her feet have grown, so has the gap. She now has one foot a size 2 and the other a 3. The shoe fitter said she's never seen a child with a whole size difference.
My DD has learning difficulties and very poor co-ordination. This makes me think, I should really buy 2 pairs and have each foot fitted correctly. This would work out to about £85, as we tend to buy start-rite. It's just such a huge cost! Do you think it's worth it though? Would the smaller foot suffer that much, being in a bigger shoe? They have a sale on the start-rite website, but I'd have to just trust my own fitting of them.
I've been told that Clarks and Start-rite no longer sell odd shoes. Do you know of anyone who does?
Thanks.
