shoes for very chubby baby feet

[elmerfudd]

Can anyone recommend some sort of shoe/bootie for very large and pudgy feet?  My 10 month old crawler is off the charts for both height and weight and I can't find anything that fits his feet.  I tried robeez in the largest size (18-24), could barely shove them on, and when I took them off the elastic had been so tight around his ankle that his skin was very chaffed.  Ideas?

When DS1 was this age, the only thing that fit his chubby feet were Stride Rite. Everything else was too narrow.

I think farmvillelover and @246baje might have recs

If he's just crawling, I'd do the Zutano fleece booties

We have pudgy and pouffy feet here. See Kai Run work best for us. Keens have also fit but tend to run smaller than SKR.

I highly recommend visiting Nordstrom's shoe department to have your LO measured. They are super helpful and you can try on many brands and styles.

See kai run and Stride Rite were our go-tos

Oh, and the Robeez booties. The elastic is more forgiving

If you're handy at sewing you can add a bit of elastic in the Robeez to make them more comfortable for him.

Stride Rite extra wide! take him to get fitted at the store.

New Balance also comes in wide

DS also has pudgy sausage feet. Only See Kai Run seems to fit him properly, all other brands have been a fail (Keens, Nike, Kenneth Cole, Circo).

We've had luck with Saucony, Pediped, Tsukihoshi, See Kai Run and Onitsuka Tiger

It was the same for my older DD.  At age 11, she still needs a wide in some shoes but now we have a little more flexibility in where I shop.  As a toddler, SR was pretty much the only place I could count on getting wide and sometimes even XW shoes for her.
