The only shoes that fit him so far are New Balance (wide), Striderite velcro shoes (wide), Vans velcro shoes (regular width), and See Kai Run. I love the See Kai Run shoes because they're soft flexible leather so they stretch and fit his fat feet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-fat-little-baby-feet#post-126169 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:27:20 +0000 Lozza 126169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, we have this same issue- it is awful trying to shove those monsters into shoes! I swear LO's feet are fatter from top to bottom than they are long!<br /> We've found that shoes with a long tongue, velcro, and no rubber at the toes work best for us. Essentially, the more we can open the shoe up, the better it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-fat-little-baby-feet#post-126070 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:35:01 +0000 mrs. wagon 126070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get Wagon Jr.'s sneakers from the new balance factory store here in Boston. They have wide width AND extra wide width...!! Luckily he's not the extra wide width because those just look like big blobs... hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-fat-little-baby-feet#post-126056 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:28:41 +0000 heffalump 126056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I no, I didn't know fat baby feet would be a problem. I figured all LO's had fat feet! I'm pretty sure my sister is buying my LO her first pair of shoes for her naming- hope they fit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-fat-little-baby-feet#post-125938 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:29:41 +0000 mrstilly 125938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will try zappos. DS hates shopping, just like his father, so I don't know how tolerant he would be of me going to a bunch of stores and trying dozens of shoes on him.</p> <p>We got him his sneakers because he outgrew his winter snowsuit with feet in it. It was such a mild winter that I skipped buying winter boots and opted for sneakers to keep his feet warm, and his socks on, while he was outside at daycare. Now that he's getting close to walking, I want to make sure he's got shoes that fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-fat-little-baby-feet#post-125929 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:25:56 +0000 chopsuey 125929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. SO CUTE!! I love fat feet on babies! We haven't gotten LO any shoes. We're actually going to the mall today to buy her her first real pair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-fat-little-baby-feet#post-125915 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:19:05 +0000 Pipers Mommy 125915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Zappos and looking to see if they have wide width rather than medium as an option? the great thing about them is free returns so there isn't much hassle if you want to send something back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-fat-little-baby-feet#post-125910 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:16:12 +0000 mrs. wagon 125910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe... Wagon Jr.'s feet are naturally wide and he was SO chubby so I had the same problem as you. We found a pair of Janie and Jack fisherman sandals that happened to fit. My best advice would be to go to a mall and just try everything on!! Some things were NOT even close but those sandals surprised me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoes-for-fat-little-baby-feet#post-125907 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:13:14 +0000 mrstilly 125907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is a year and I'm looking for sandals for him. I bought a pair of striderite sandals, but they don't fit his fat little feet. Right now he's a size 4, and I bought a size 5 since the weather wont be warm enough for sandals for another month or 2. But while they were plenty long enough, I couldn't fit them on his feet! It's like he's got a layer of fat on the top of his foot. His current sneakers are velcro, so they fit alright. </p> <p>Any recommendations for shoes for fat baby feet? I'd love a pair of brown leather sandals for the summer. </p>
