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 shoe styles described in this article are all capable of accommodating the shape of a toddler with narrow feet.
Find Out Your Child’s Exact Foot Length and Width
If you are unsure of what your toddler foot length and shape is take a look at an article I created where I describe how to figure out your toddler’s foot size from home:

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 sneakers for toddlers with narrow feet.

Are Any Other Shoe Choices Available?
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 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.
