Pls Rec your shoes for really F-A-T feet ?

DS2 is a big guy - really sweet, chubby, and fat, especially his feet ; ) The regular size 3 shoes are too thin for his big feet and 4's are ok but really too long. I tried Target and some of the shoe stores around here, but no luck. Anyone have a brand or maker that works for their LO's chubby feet? We live in a really urban area and I would love to be able to call about a specific brand before I drive 45 minutes out to the mall or some specialty children's shoe store.
Also, since I am already asking... anyone have any experience with a softer shoe for beginner walkers? He is transitioning from those Robees (sp?) with no firm sole and so far he is really resisting a firmer shoe.
I would really appreciate any help! TIA

If you want actual shoes, stride rite. They will measure his foot and tell you what size he needs. LO was a double wide for a while.
If your LO is resisting shoes, you can always go with soft soled or a moccasin. We have LO in moccasins for most of her walking time. (we buy footskins brand because they don't cost a fortune and are made in the USA). It's actually way better for their developing feet to be in soft soled shoes. We plan to do moccasins at least part time for a long time.
Ditto on having a kid with XW feet.
check out zappos.com. They have styles in xw and with free shipping both ways, you can try them out and just send them back if they don't work out

I bought these for DS for play shoes. They come in wide widths and are easy to get on and off.

My little man has HUGE fat feet, wide and thick, out pedi calls them "pillowy" feet! I absolutely LOVE a saucony sneaker for him, stride rite has them, zappos and amazon all sell in Wide or Im not sure if you have an Olly shoes near by but we love it there...much more variety than stride rite!
My son has huge feet! He is already a size 8W and he isn't even 2 yet!!! So I feel your pain! Unfortunatly we have always had to buy at Stride Rite. I say unfortunatly because they are pricey but they come in wide and double wide so that really helps. They are great with measuring and are knowledgable too. They have always told me which brands are best within their store for his big feet. He also has a high instep which I learned from them. I would definitely go there for a proper measurement and to take a look around. You can sign up for coupons on their site too. Once you know his size you can even shop around a bit online for good deals.
As far as I can be helpful sort of, is within their store they have told me that the Stride Rite brand and New Balance are great for bigger and wider feet.
Payless also sells wide, I find it is hit or miss though.
