This week I had three other moms mention to me they thought Max's shoes were getting a bit small. I'll admit, the thought did cross my mind a few weeks ago, but I just figured it was the way his foot scooted forward in the shoes while walking.
But, when one mom...two moms...THREE moms made a comment about his shoes, I decided maybe it was time for a new pair of summer kicks.
What to do? Shoes seem to be a bit more important now that he is walking...
Of course! I called my trusted SIL, Kristen, for a bit of advice. She mentioned going to Stride Rite and getting his feet fitted for a shoe size.
What? Why have I never thought of that. [seriously, why have I never thought of THAT??!!]
Sheer brilliance! So off we went!
Now, I have been squeezing Max's little feet into a size 4 shoe for the past couple of months. And I have been pretty confident that is the correct size [read: I just bought a new, size 4, pair of shoes two weeks ago.].
Well, apparently, I was a bit off on his shoe size. The sales person measured Max's foot at a 5.5 wide.
Pardon?
A 5.5 wide? That might explain all the hard work in squeezing his little [or should I say wide?] feet into some of his shoes.
Poor guy.

You be the judge.
Are they a bit too small?

Max thanks all you mom's who had the heart to tell me his shoes were a bit small! He has got to be way more comfortable now!
hearing from you!
hahaha! Jett is also a 5.5 but an XW! Stride Rite is the only brand that makes his size and it is very limiting on stylish wear in his XW size! :-( I have found that CVS carries a knock off of crocs that even the croc lady couldnt tell werent real. The are wider and higher arched. The best part....... $5.99!!!!! Check your local CVS for "Doggies" :-)
