My toddler has very wide feet. I've ordered stride rite shoes before that were "wide" sized and they fit great. These shoes are still very narrow even though we ordered the wide size. It is very difficult to get them on my daughter's feet. She's ended up screaming in pain a couple times now, and then refused to put them on. They were expensive shoes so I'm pretty disappointed that it is such a narrow tight shoe despite it being the "wide" size. The length fit perfectly, so ordering a size up wouldn't really help...
