Toddler shoes

[Ceinwen]

I'm irked.

The daycare where my youngest goes (she's 27 months old) lost one of her Livie & Luca shoes. These are not cheap, and I'm not in the position to just go out and randomly buy $50 toddler shoes (I'm in Canada - throw in the exchange rate and ten dollar shipping... it's gets expensive)

Dd has a very oddly shaped foot - super high instep, and a very VERY wide foot. So, shoes are hard to come by. I've yet to find much in store that will fit her...

Anyway, what are your favorite toddler shoes?? She's around a size 7/8 and with summer coming (and the lost shoes) I need to get her new shoes and sandals. Any suggestions?

We love Soft Star Shoes. They are handmade in Oregon, but shipping to Canada (I'm in Canada too) is only 3.75 I believe. You can send in your own measurements and they'll custom make them for you if their regular sizing won't work. You can also design your own shoes. And they are very durable and have wonderful customer service.

We also like See Kai Run.

I like the toddler boys shoes Target sells. They're surprisingly flexible for such cheap shoes and they seem to fit a bit larger than the girls' shoes.
