does anyone make school pumps in a H width fitting?

[christmasDECOration]

ds starts school in reception next week, he is supposed to have black pumps for P.E. but i can't find any that actually fit him. he has H width fitting shoes and has a very high instep. I can't put him in pumps that hurt his feet obviously, so does anyone know if anywhere sells wider fitting pumps and if not what should i do? he can't be the first child to have this problem!

what size?

have tried clarks and startrite but they only go up to a G (doodles are patterned, they have to be plain black)

he is a 10 1/2. i literally couldn't squeeze his feet into the G width ones in clarks

Mine all have wide fit and have either startrite or doodles. Doodles do plain balck plimsols.

Start-rite shoes go up to an H (don't think Clarks do actually).

They certainly do plimsolls tho their online store only shows an F fitting (not helpful).

What did store say?

Clarks do one with a velcro strap (doodles in black, as NAB says) which may work in a G?

DS2 has H width feet and he seems to get on Ok with the bog standard velcro fastening plimsoles.

when i asked in the clarks shop they said they only go up to a G width. we tried the G in a bigger size (the ones with the velcro and the normal ones) but couldn't get them onto his feet.

i could only see F on startrite website too.

will ask teacher on monday and see what she suggests!

think the problem is he also has a very high instep so there isn't enough height in them iykwim

I'm having this problem with dd who is in year1, they are doing outside PE after Christmas. I think I'm going to speak to the head and say she will have to have trainers as I can't plimsolls to fit her at all. Again very high instep and broad - it's bad enough getting her shoes to fit.

I don't think there's height in any width of plimsoll TBH. The velcro ones seem to be more forgiving than the traditional elasticated ones. I think DS2 just has wide feet, I don't think there are instep issues

dd has fairly wide feet and the marks and spencers velcro ones seem to fit fine. We also got a pair from brantano that were ok too.

MY DS was a H fitting with high instep and velcro ones fitted fine.

The velcro ones only just do up on dd and she says they hurt either side and at the back although there is loads of toe room

What size do you want as DS1 has just grown out of his?

have you tried asda? they fall off my F children so I',guessing are pretty big.

Try going up a half size or size

My dd1 has very narrow feet, and I have bought her trainers for PE. Plimsolls do not fit her, and are dangerous for her to run in, so I have simply refused to buy them. dd2 has standard feet and she is fine with them, but in my experience plimsolls do not come in width fitting.
