Recently I ordered a pair of walking shoes for my little son, who is 15.5 months old right at the moment.<\/p>\n

I strictly followed the measurement instruction, ie., to use a tape and measure from the longest toe to his heel, it showed 13.5cm or 5.3 inches. So it means my son\u2019s feet will fit a size 7 (US size) pair of shoes.<\/p>\n

The biggest size for that particular pair of shoes was 8. And I had my experience with ordering a way too big pair of shoes, they often come loose when my son walks, so this time I got smarter and got size 7. It should be a perfect fit!<\/p>\n

After nearly a week of waiting, I finally received the pair. They were really cute, just what I expected.<\/p>\n

Ever since I had my boy, buying things for him and seeing him try them on are even more pleasant than buying things for myself!<\/p>\n

So I rushed home, tried them on my son.<\/p>\n

And they are too tight. Or more accurately, my son\u2019s insteps are too big for them. Yes, my son is on the “thick and strong<\/a>” side, but still!<\/p>\n

So now I’m in for a search for the best shoes for toddlers with fat and wide feet. <\/p>\n

If you are reading this article, I assume that you are like me. Let’s join me for a search. <\/p>\n

What do you need to consider when finding the best shoes for toddlers with fat feet<\/h2>\n

Rubber sole<\/h3>\n

Safety comes first. When it is about walking, you will notice that either your little walkers walk too fast or they don’t know how to pace or keep their balance. Therefore, a slippery surface is very dangerous for them.<\/p>\n

The good thing is that almost all types of rubber create a non-slippery sole, allowing your baby to walk safely on a floor even when the floor is wet.<\/p>\n

It’s not a slip-on pair of shoes<\/h3>\n

Slip-on shoes are beautiful and simple, and seem that they are easy to put on.<\/p>\n

This is probably true for normal babies. But if your baby has big, wide and fat feet, likely, the insteps of the shoes won’t fit him (like in my scenario). <\/p>\n

Therefore, get your little one a pair of shoes that can open easily.<\/p>\n

Do not simply go for a normal pair of shoes and size up<\/h3>\n

Because many times, the shoes are very long compared to your little one’s feet while the insteps are still tight.<\/p>\n

Babies grow up quickly and so are their shoes. It is a good idea to size up 0.5 size of his normal fit though.<\/p>\n

Material<\/h3>\n

Your baby’s skin is very fragile and sensitive. Make sure you select some good material that won’t rub against his skin or scratch him.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

Not all shoes, especially walking shoes are made equal. If your baby is very young, normally less than 1 year old, his feet are flat. While this condition is completely normal for such small babies, make sure the shoes you choose can provide arch support.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, I’m in for the search of shoes for babies with wide feet. <\/p>\n

Here’s the list that I found. <\/p>\n

Best first-time walking shoes for baby with fat and wide feet<\/h2>\n

I primarily focus on shoes that can fit our little first-time walkers, as they need to be soft, comfortable while securing the feet and provide good support.<\/p>\n

Crocs Kid’s Crocband Clog<\/h3>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/a>Crocs shoes are famous for their flexibility and comfort. The shoes are normally very wide and can easily fit chubby feet.<\/p>\n

They are soft, lightweight and comfortable. They come with a heel strap for a more secure fit if your baby\u2019s feet are small. Generally speaking, if you tuck the heel strap to the top of the shoes, your baby can keep using this pair of Crocs even when he sizes up.<\/p>\n

However, there are several things you need to keep in mind about Crocs shoes.<\/p>\n

They do last a very long time, however, once worn out, they are very slippery. It is unlikely that your baby\u2019s feet can still fit in these once they are worn out, but I will not advise you to store and save this pair for your younger children.<\/p>\n

Make sure they are completely dry when you let your baby wear it. Because even if they are made from foam and have ventilation ports, they won\u2019t dry out themselves once your baby puts them on.<\/p>\n
