Can't Find XX Wide Boys Shoes

Hi there!

I have an 18 month old guy who has extra-extra wide feet. Does anyone else have a problem finding sandals for tootsies that big!? Where to go? I already ordered him the Stride Rite "Guppy" Sandal (the only sandal that comes in XXW) and they are too tight! Does anyone else know of a brand that has XXW sizes or know of ny other brands that run VERY wide? I would love to find some other options than $50/pair Stride Rite! However if that is my only option, that's ok too. I just want something that won't hurt my little boy's feet.
Thanks so much!
B.

What can I do next?

Hi B.,

I don't know if you ever saw my post go out about XXW shoes that I still have from my son. He wears an 11 1/2 xxw size and I sometimes can do w/just an xw size.

I still have some of his shoes and most of them are from Stride Rite. They are in GREAT CONDITION and I am selling them if you would like to take a look. Send me sizes and I will look through them and see what I have.

Stride Rite does have an outlet store now at the Allen Outlet Mall, so the prices are still high, but w/a bit of a discount and not the $50.00 you are use to paying. That is why when I had my BABY SALE this past year, I sold a couple of my son's shoes, but I wasn't going to give them away especially when they looked brand new for nothing. I was asking at least 1/2 or 1/3 of the price that I paid for them and folks wanted them for nothing.

Give me a call or email me and we can chat.

hi B.. my little guy is 8 months old..and my nephew is 13 months and my SIL and i are having this same problem! however, we have found that our boys do great in crocs! they have knock offs just about everywhere (walmart, payless, target) and they are usually around $10. but you can buy the real thing at nordstrom for $25. they are great. they are wide..they stay on..there are a million colors. korb even wheres them with jeans. it might be a good options for your little one.

Have you tried New Balance. I know they make XW. I got a pair at Academy for about $22. My son cannot fit into sandals or regular tennis shoes either. I also buy him crocs.
