Alternatives to Clarks H width for kids’ trainers?

My DCs have wide feet, I think in part due to fairly high insteps. Clarks H width fitting usually does the job, but there are hardly any options for them! At the moment there is just one style of trainer available in H width. DCs are 9yo and 7yo, eldest is in 2.5 (junior size) and younger is in 11.5 (infant size).

I don’t have a problem with the one available style, but I’d like to know what our options are. Getting out and about to shops to try isn’t feasible, so I am trying to narrow down options to order so I don’t end up ordering and returning repeatedly if they’re just not suitable for wide feet.

Any recommendations would be great!

We’ve had great geox sandals in the past. And wellies - we just size up and wear fluffy socks. Harder with walking boots but they are generally much more wide shaped anyway.

Another one for stretchers here. My daughter has wide feet but gets on well with them. She always outgrows her shoes width wise before she outgrows them length wised.

Mine are H+ and most of the Sainsbury’s Tu trainers are great for them. We could never get Clarks trainers to fit. Reviews in the past have often complained that they’re too wide which is perfect for us!

DS and I get trainers from Decathlon and upsize slightly. We've both got high volume feet.

His school shoes are Geox.

I never made it to adult lengths and my tiny feet are off the width scale. I'm a 1.5 in length but wear adult 4s for width in boots/ trainers. I'm used to the spare inch!

Geox do sandals and we’ve had the crocs wellies as all others we found too narrow.

My local independent shop always puts my kids in geox, wide and high instep here too
