Advice on ds's big feet

3 replies

Have always steered away from putting ds in shoes when he was small as though it was unnecessary however, he will be one in three weeks and is a confident walker so took him to get some shoes last weekend. Ds is very tall and way above the 99.6 percentile although hv is not concerned, he is around the 75th percentile for his weight. When his feet were measured he was a 5H, didn't really think much of it as his feet don't look particularly 'fat'. However, have since found that clarks only go up to a H fitting so am concerned about his feet getting any bigger.

So do you think I should be concerned and does anyone have any suggestions for where I can find extra wide shoes in infant sizes?
Thanks

Go to an independent shoe shop - they will have other brands to try.

Don't worry too much about his feet growing, my children have remained the same width fitting since their first shoes. I assume that their feet grown proportionally and not just outwards.

Same here, DS has always remained the same width fitting

I think - purely based on my DC - that children's feet often measure wide with their first shoes. My DC were G/H for a few months, and are now all E to F.
