Shoe size - width

Lisadi

What is the shoe size width for most of your kiddos?

I have saved shoes from my 1st son. He has always been very tall. My 2nd son started walking over a month ago. What luck! He can reuse my son's size 6 shoes.... except they say he's a medium and not a wide. The fit specialist at Stride Rite said he might wind up as a narrow width. (!) I guess my guy really is a peanut?? He's been hanging out around the 30th percentile for weight.

Don't most babies start out as a wide width? And, what are the shoes at stores when you don't see a width specified? Are they mostly just medium at Target, i.e., Or, would most infant shoes be a wide if most babies are a wide width.

Thanks.

Most shoes at stride rite come in a medium and then as an option a wide. DD never had wide feet. DS has. All kids have different feet.

When my LO was measured at Stride Rite they said he had wide feet.  The salesperson that measured him told me that most babies/toddlers have wide feet.

My LO was measured at Stride Rite when she was 10 months old and we were told she wore a regular width.  We bought shoes there and couldn't get them on her feet.  Then @ 2 months later she was measured again and we were told she needs a wide width.  We still can't get those on her feet.  The funny thing is that we have no problem getting the regular width shoes from other stores on her.  So I have given up on Stride Rite.

first son was medium, second son wide; do frustrating that i can't reuse shoes! haven't found wide snow boots but the mediums i got seem to fit ok. same goes for sandals.

DD was measured once as a wide and then the next time as a regular.  I buy regular usually but sometimes we get wide at the Nike outlet (they're always super cheap) and they fit her just as well.
