How can you tell if your child needs wide shoes?
Kids’ shoes, like adult shoes, should feel secure without being too constricting. If you and your child are struggling to find the right fit, our expansive variety of wide and double wide kids shoes are a good option depending on your child's foot shape. Ideally, when lacing up a shoe, you should see equal distance through the tongue of the shoe and about a ½” to a full thumb width from the front of the shoe to your child’s big toe. If your child’s shoes are leaving pressure marks or indentations on their socks or feet, a wider fit will likely be a more comfortable choice.
What’s the right fit for wide kids’ shoes?
Just like regular width shoes, wide shoes should fit comfortably snug without being too tight. Entry into the shoe should be seamless and pain-free and offer optimal comfort that’s never constricting, too snug, or leave too much wiggle-room.
What type of wide shoes does New Balance offer for kids?
New Balance is proud to provide a large variety of kids’ shoes in nearly every category—from infant to grade school sizes. From running shoes and casual athletic shoes to walking shoes and cleats, New Balance offers wider fits in almost every one of our kids’ shoe categories. The best way to see what we offer is to visit our site and filter your kids’ shoe search to include wide shoe sizes.
How much wider is a wide kids’ shoe?
At New Balance, we offer shoes designed with about 2 widths extra for children who have fuller feet. True width sizes are typically only about ¼” difference between widths—our wide shoes offer an extra ½” of width and a wider platform to ensure a comfortable, proper fit for children with fuller feet.
What is the real difference between a normal kids’ shoe and a kids’ wide shoe?
It all comes down to the extra bit of measurement and width designed into the shoe to ensure optimal fit for a fuller foot. These shoes will offer an extra ½” to the pattern of the shoe and sometimes additional width near the top of the shoe to provide more room for children with wider feet.
