DS needs new shoes for fall. I've looked at Stride Rite, SKR, Pedipeds and Plae, and don't love what I've seen. For $40-50 I want somethings cute! He needs a 5.5 and he's 15 months, so he needs at least a flexible sole. I'm thinking something like a casual sneaker in a somewhat neutral color.

From what I understand they don't come in half sizes until they get bigger. You can get insoles, though (at least we did at a store in the UK) and that makes them a half size smaller.
-
I'm pretty sure half sizes for stride rite are actually wide sizes.
I can't help though because i love stride rite and but them exclusively since they usually hold up well.

We got New Balance sneaks in Extra Wide for my DS's fat feet...

@erinbaderin, @brownepiano: interesting. The 5 is getting smaller and the 6s we tried in seem huge! Should I just get a 6 and have him wear a thick sock?
@FliegepilzHut: I like New Balances for my DH. DS doesn't need a wide though. Are they flexible enough for a fairly new walker?
-
@macintosh: I found that too! I don't know if they switch at some point or if I am wrong about the sizing. The difference between the sizes seems to get bigger with the bigger sizes. I would look for the 5.5.

We love Saucony Jazz!

@macintosh: I believe so!
-
We had to stick to Stride Rite since DS wore extra wide. He just (as a preschooler) wears wide now, so that opens up more styles and brands.
-
See Kai run does make certain styles in half sizes as does stride rite. I've gotten both 4.5 and 5.5 for my son.
-
@CakeLady: agree SKR has a lot of cute styles in half sizes.
-
Pumas seem to run small, so maybe a Puma 6 wouldn't seem so big to you.
We have these:

-
@Ms.Badger: those are so cute!
I looked again at Stride Rite and also at New Balance and there do seem to be plenty of options. I kind of just wish I could take him to a shoe store and try on the fit so I don't have to mess with returning anything.

I agree with @pregnantbee. And they have half sizes. I just bought a pair (navy/green) on Amazon for $27.
