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 children with foot and leg problems.
Parents need to understand that not all children can wear all type of shoes, since they are limited to their particular foot shape –narrow, medium, wide, extra wide – and instep height also plays a key role. The winter boots described in this article are all capable of accommodating the shape of a toddler with MEDIUM feet. You can also check in the shoe description whether the boot is capable of accommodating high insteps.
Please take a look at the description that describes how each particular shoe style fits (short, long) in order to increase the chances that you order the correct shoe size. As a standard rule of thumb, I recommend 0.3 inches or 0.7 centimeters of space between your toddler’s longest toe and the end of the shoes. However, you won’t be able to know what shoe size to order online if you don’t know your toddler’s foot size to begin with. So, if you are unsure of what your toddler foot size is start by taking a look at an article I created where I describe how to figure out your toddler’s foot size from home:
How to Measure Your Kids Foot – 2 Simple Steps to Determine Foot Length and Foot Width
All of the boots described below are supportive, lightweight, and flexible. Check on the description whether the boots are waterproof and appropriate to be worn in the snow.
Without further due, let’s take a look at a selection of the best toddler boots in medium widths.

If you need any other type of shoes such as everyday sneakers, summer sandals, dress shoes, or sport shoes, you can find them all in a 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.
