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 dress shoes described in this article are all capable of accommodating the shape of a toddler with NARROW feet.
Please take a look at the description that describes how each particular dress shoe 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:

If these dress shoes seem still too wide for your toddler’s feet, do not jump the gun and return them just yet, please refer to an article that describes how to make shoes fit better for kids with narrow feet:
How to Make Shoes Fit Kids with Narrow Feet – The 2 Most Effective Steps!
If you need any other type of shoes such as everyday sneakers, summer sandals, winter boots, 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.
