text: I bought this for my grandson who inherited wide feet (the bane of my mother's existence was trying to find wide shoes for 4 kids).  My son, the Dad, says these are his favorite shoes for the 10 month old baby who is just starting to walk -- easy to put on and stay on.  Dad said the baby's feet are shaped like &#34;potatoes&#34; and, when I told that to my sister, she laughed and said a shoe salesman told her it is not so much the width issue with wide feet as it is the thickness.  I would think these shoes would fit well even on narrow feet since they are essentially socks with soft leather soles.  Soft soles are good for beginning walkers to help them with balance.  I myself (with arthritic knees and flat wide feet) have gone to moccasins in the yard and my balance is much better in soles that allow me to feel the ground.
