Wide fitting plimsoles

DS2 needs an 8.5H plimsole. The G hurt his feet. The 9 is too big and no good for running. We have tried Clarks (width fitting), M&S, Asda, Startrite, all the random hand-me downs we had. He can't get his feet in.

I can't find anything by googling, or any useful answers for me on here. Apart from "buy geox". Erm, no thank you. He's 6 and doesn't need another pair of £35 shoes on top of school shoes and home shoes!

Any ideas?

I've given up Grin

He wears trainers which he keeps in his school bag not his PE bag so they come home every day and can be worn for other things as I have no intention of buying 2 pairs of trainers. Last year he had one from Sainsbury's which fitted.

My DS is an H fit. He could always fit in these www.johnlewis.com/274419/Product.aspx

Obviously won't be seen dead in them now in Y5!

I got dd some from Matalan for her wide feet and they are very roomy, might be worth a look.

Oh and he was always inbetween sizes - we went up and they were fine. Had them every year from rec to Y4
