Narrow trainers for toddler?

Hello,

I am trying to find some trainers for my 3.5 year old; her feet size is 7 but they are so narrow!

I bought some adidas gazelles but they are the bungee type so just slip off.

New Balance seems to be the same with the elastic too.

Any recommendations? Thank you!

DD aged 2.5 has clarks tidal star trainers in the F width even though she measures an E (narrow). They come up quite small so fit her great, she had the blue ones last time and now has the pink, they fit really well but recommend checking in store rather than just ordering. Appreciate they’re not to everyone’s taste but if they have tricky feet at this age you can’t go wrong with a professional measure and fit.

I have already tried Clark's; they recommended in store not to get them as they weren't a good enough fit!!

Maybe I'll try a different store..

Have had mixed experiences in different stores too, maybe try a different store or ask for the manager to do the fitting?

Ricosta are narrow.

None of the mainstream runners suit mine because they have narrow feet. Ricosta fit great. The Spanish Kids brands are also great for narrow feet.

My children had very narrow feet. I once took them to Clarks and when measuring their feet the shop assInstant said that they didn’t have a pair of shoes that would fit and gave me directions to the start rite store.

TLDR try start rite.
