2 year old boy with very narrow feet

    Hi

    My 2 year old boy has very narrow feet. When he was measured in Clarks today he was size 7 width d.

    The only option in Clarks is to get the same shoes again that he has already (width e) and tighten the velcro. They have high sides so they don't slip off of him.

    Can anyone recommend another shoe brand than might suit better?

    Do you live in Dublin ? Cripps in Terenure stock different shoes for kids. Start Rite used to do narrow fits , not sure if they still exist

    Would Attipas be an option for the good weather at least? They aren't that expensive and actually quite great for toddlers and easy to wash.
    I feel you, my daughter has really narrow feet too and we keep her in anything that gives her the most "barefoot" feel simply because that's what suits her feet best.

    What about barefoot shoes? Would it be something you'd consider?

    My daughter is width d, always has been. Change brand. We used start rite and a Spanish brand I cannot remember the name of!

    Can’t advise on Dublin shops as I am in Cork city.

    Primigi and Pablosky are two brands that are worth looking into.
