Shoes for Fat Feet

Fat, sausage rolls, plump, round, wide...
All words to describe Brayden's feet.

I have a hard time finding shoes for Brayden.  Double wide, triple wide, still not a good fit.  And then to try them with his braces.  I came home this week with more shoes to try on him.  His feet literally oozed out of the Stride Rite double wide sandals, chubby flesh poking out of the sandal holes.  I know we have to head to the specialty store to buy those special shoes.  But I must say I like to have options of shoes, even for Brayden's wardrobe...vain, I know.

I headed to Nordstrom to pick up TOMS shoes for Carter and Luke.  I quickly decided that they would tear through those shoes in a matter of moments.  As cute (and a great idea) as those shoes can be, it was not going to work for them.  But could they work for Brayden?

Oh yes they did (without socks and braces but perfect for spring/summer).  I am now a HUGE fan of TOMS.

I will have to check those out. Junior has very thick/fat feet also and we have a difficult time getting shoes to work.

Those shoes are adorable! I love that they open easily and that they look easy to put on! I'll have to check them out for Gavin too! It's a workout getting shoes on his feet! Thanks for sharing!

LOVE Toms and so glad they worked for all of your boys. We may need to try them for Oliver.
