If width is an issue, that is another argument for shopping at the local places in Kalamazoo. The sales teams will know which brands run wide enough for your kid.

I have wide feet. And I can attest that while the sales team knows which brands run wide, they are also going to tell you they don’t stock shoes in wide widths, and they will point you to the one pair of shoes in the entire store that will fit your feet. Or they’ll assure you that whatever uncomfortable too-narrow shoe they give you fits just fine, when it doesn’t.

Someone upthread helpfully said that Timberlands come in wide widths. Great, I thought, maybe my son can try on a pair locally, maybe they’ll even stock the insulated boots I want to get him. So I gave the local Timberlands store a call, only to find out that it doesn’t carry wide widths. Online is better, if you’ve got wide feet. Local stores don’t cater to us widefoots.
