Can toddlers’ feet get wider as they grow? Expensive babies shoes…

Basically I am horrified by how expensive proper Clarks baby shoes are. £30 for a one year old? They are the same price as shoes I’d buy for myself! And she will grow out of them instantly.

If I wait to buy until she needs the next size the right shoe won’t be available and I’ll have to go to the shops and pay full price. What I’d like to do is keep an eye on Facebook marketplace and when a good bargain pair comes up I can buy ahead of time so I have the next size ready as she grows.

But this won’t work if her shoe width is going to change as she grows through the sizes. Can anyone tell me if their baby’s foot width changed? Or did it stay the same as your baby grew? Currently my baby is 3F. Thanks a lot.

Yeah, I bought my first DC shoes anticipating walking at about one...didn't bother until nearer 18 months and they didn't fit!
