Fitting Children's Shoes

I review toddler’s shoes based on my vast experience from fitting children’s shoes for the last 10 years. I currently work for a specialized children’s shoe store that focuses on helping children with “complex” foot shapes such as extra wide feet as well as foot and leg problems.

All of the shoe styles described below are supportive, lightweight, flexible, and breathable. Without further ado, let’s take a look at a selection of the best toddler sneakers.  Disclosure: Some links in this post may be affiliate links and we may receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you) when you click our links and make purchases.

Find Out Your Toddler’s Exact Foot Length and Width

Take a look at the description that describes how each particular shoe style fits (short, long) to increase the chances that you order the correct shoe size. If you are unsure of what your toddler foot size is take a look at an article I created where I describe how to figure out your toddler’s foot size from home.

Is your toddler dealing with a particular foot condition such as low muscle tone, flat feet, or rolled ankles? Contact me directly and I will recommend a specific shoe style: fittingchildrensshoes@gmail.com

If you need any other type of shoes such as dress shoes, summer sandals, winter boots, or sport shoes, you can find them all in a virtual tool I created which lets you filter by the type of shoes you need. This tool is extremely effective since it will show you shoes in different widths such as narrow, medium, wide, and extra wide. I also tell you exactly how each shoe style fits (short, long, narrow, or wide) and will let you filter by the instep of your child’s foot. You can even find shoes that will accommodate an orthotic.

  1. Thank you SO MUCH! I had been struggling to find indoor shoes for my 18 month-old daughter with high instep and extra wide feet and ordered the New Balance shoes as per your recommendation. I could not be happier – they fit like a dream!
