What shoes are best for my toddlers flat feet?

Question

my pediatrician recommended stride rite. i have also heard new balance. i know there are many brands out there with good arch support for flat footed people. What about children??

Answer 1

I prefer New Balance for my toddler.

Answer 2

I second the stride rite. They may be a little more expensive but for my children's foot development I think it is worth it, as they a excellent shoes for little ones feet and they are great quality.

Answer 3

More important than the brand is that they are fitted well. Don't try and do it yourself. Go to a shoe store with experience with kids. Stride Right and New Balance are good but there are others. And good luck. My son's first shoes were an 11WW, as an adult he wears a 14EEE and has trouble finding them.
