Preteen big feet. Help me find narrow fitting shoes!

DS2 age 12 has big feet, he’s just had them measured and they are 10.5, too big for traditional Clarks school shoes! Problem is his feet are also very narrow, so men’s shoes are long enough but too wide. Can anyone please recommend men’s size 10/11 which come up with narrow fitting? Thank you.

My son has always had narrow feet and the standard shoes available were always too big. I would never allow him to have these with insoles as I also have narrow feet and over my 50 odd years am aware of the problems that can arise with ill fitting shoes. Luckily there is an old fashioned independent family run shoe shop a short drive away. The staff have been there forever and know which brands and models come up narrow. We never have much choice but we have always come away with shoes that fit. Maybe this type of shop would be a good starting point. Good luck, hopefully in his teens your boy’s feet will start to fill out x
