Trouble finding kids shoe the right width?

Can't find the right width
Many shoe shops don't seem to stock the complete range of widths as far as childrens shoes go. Why can't they stock all the widths and just cater for parents and kids a bit better?

I went shopping for children’s shoes today and I had what can only be described as a really bad experience in a Clarks shoe shop. Finding the correct width and size was the main problem.

| 12-5-2008 | I have to agree, I went into my local Clarks on Saturday to be told that my some needed a wide fitting of H. The assistant told me to ring around to find a store which had the size. Whilst doing this today I have discovered that the sandles don't even come in a H fitting!!!! So I am back to squa...more | Not Pleased! |
| 09-4-2008 | Sympathy to you, I've had a similar problem with the same place, but my daughters feet are wide. On Sunday I was told, we only cater for young children's shoes... which is odd, as I believe she had an H width fitting when she was 2 as well as now, at the old age of 4! Doesn't exactly ins...more | Lillibet |
| 02-4-2008 | Oh and sketchers are huge! They don't do width fittings but they're very roomy anyways, and arent that expensive either. | Digsy |
| 02-4-2008 | Hush puppies are almost always available in a H fitting and nike are a decent sized trainer width ways. Ive discoverd them for my 6yr old son. He's a size 2h already! | Digsy |
| 02-4-2008 | I couln't agree with you more . My problem has been on the other end of the spectrum with my daughter needing a h fitting. I have been in so many shoe shops with "trained and experienced fitters" that have insited on trying to " squeeze" her feet into a G fitting in a bigger ...more | frustrated mum |
| 29-3-2008 | I also have a problem with the availability of sizes at Clarks. Both of my children take a H fitting at Clarks, but there is always a very limited choice of styles. Even when we find H fitting shoes, we still often need to increase up to one and a half sizes to get a comfortable width. I bought s...more | Kath |
| 27-3-2008 | People who are complaining about staff going from one size to another - infact shuldnt be moaning! This is the correct method, if a shoe is not in stock, then rather than say sorry we havent got that shoe, its better they try all different alternatives. For example if a little girl is a 6 1/2 F, and...more | Kev |
| 26-3-2008 | I have just done a search for Clarks shoes because I too am unhappy with the current service. This started about 2 years ago.My 4 year old daughter has very narrow feet and must have an E fitting. I also had difficulty finding them and was told they could not order. After a year of being unable t...more | anji7501 |
| 20-3-2008 | As an American I am amazed that you are even offered a selection of widths. We simply do not have this in the states. You will occasionally find a shoe marked wide or narrow, but they are not easy to find. If you want anything other than an average width you have to go to a specialty shoe store a...more | dmfc |
| 18-3-2008 | I had exactly the same experience myself, my daughter needed a size 7.5 E. I went to 3 different shops to be told they didnt have anything to fit. This is the first time I have experienced this as until recently my daughter was an F fitting. One shop assistant even tried insisting my daughters feet ...more | sarah |
| 17-3-2008 | We had problems finding Clarks shoes too, we tried 2 shops, both said my daughter was a 3 1/2 g but one tried to sell us 3g and the other 4f | littlenic |
| 05-3-2008 | Little girls have their feet bound as babies in china atch, not as 12yr olds. | Digsydoodahday |
