DD is very wide footed (at least an H, last time Clarks said she was an I then told me they didn't do anything in that size) I don't mind paying for a decent brand if they're going to last as her feet grow quite slowly, but I don't know where to start. She's also v heavy on her shoes/feet, feet turn in when she walks/runs, and her trainers/home shoes are permanently scuffed at the toe so something that can polish out/stand up to that. I always hard Clarks shoes as a kid but I've been so unimpressed with their toddler selection to date that I'm not sure they're what they once were, or if I just had more normal feet! She's not allowed trainers or boots either.

I really rate the website happy little soles. They stock barefoot friendly shoes which usually come up wide. My two have school shoes from there that have lasted all year without issue.

Have you looked at Startrite shoes?

Also this store https://www.wjfrenchandson.co.uk/ in Southampton is very good, though I haven't used their website.

Thanks all, I'll take a look at all these options, think I'm going to have to take her to be measured then order a load online to try as we don't seem to have many options near us at all!
