I bought these shoes for my very picky 3 year old with a wide foot. He loves them and they look great! He literally tried on every shoe at Stride Rite and left in tears because they all hurt his feet. This was the only shoe he would wear in the past and I wasn't sure what to do. I found these in Amazon and tried XXW. He put them on immediately and now will not wear anything else. I plan to order these again. Excellent quality.
