Kickers Children's boots, Are they ok for wide feet?

Dd2 has inward turning feet and is awaiting an appointment with physio to see if she needs insoles or special shoe. While we are waiting i would like to buy her a pair of shoes/boots that will support her feet but she has wide feet (G-H fitting). Are Kickers ok for wide feet or are they narrow? Also, what is the sizing like? do they come up big or small? Dd2 is a 7.5 in clarks.

DD has some kickers boots, they are very round toed and do seem quite wide but she is an F fitting. I reckon they'd fit a G but not so sure about H...

The sizing is about right, although they don't do half sizes so you might have to go up to 8 if she's a 7.5.

Thanks lipgloss- i might try and find a shop that stocks them near me so she can try them on, i don't want to spend a fortune on a pair of shoes if they don't fit.

my ds2 got some about a week ago - he is a g fitting. He had them properly fitted and woman thought they were a good fit. He is a size 6.5. plus they are very cute!

(she did say he probably wouldn't be able to wear converse though !)

When DS was being fitted at Clinkards a while back they steered me away from them for G width DS saying they were on the narrow side. I would deffo go to a shop and see what a fitter says as they do look a reasonable width to me.

You're better off going for something from Hush Puppies, especially if you end up with an insert to correct the problem as Hush Puppies unique fitting system using footbeds can be adapted for half or full insoles. They're also great for wide feet. Definitely worth a go in your case. I hope you find something that works for your Ds2.

Hope this helps.
