Plimsolls for wide feet

DD starts reception in Sept & needs plimsolls according to uniform list.
However she is 10.5h fitting for normal shoes and plimsolls appear to be f fitting.

Does anyone know where to get wider fitting plimsolls?

Have you tried marks and spencers. Its ok to go up a size to 11. Girls ones have flowers on and a different fit to the boys velcro ones.

Haven't tried anywhere yet. Shoe shopping tends to be difficult with her because of the struggle of getting anything to fit so thought I'd do the research first.
Thanks for the input

Well clarks do them, they are about £6 compared to the £3 elsewhere so maybe just go there? - all the fittings etc. You can pre order on line, as many as you like and they text when they have them for you to try. You dont pay for shoes online its a free service.

Shop around. TBH we ended up with mostly not very well fitting plimsoles but for 20mins 2x week I wouldnm't worry. In juniors it was easier as they could have trainers

Clarke do them but I found them a funny fit. Opted for Asda
£2.50 ones. They hardly get worn if for PE - an hour a week tops
