I took the kiddos to get some shoes, Tay needed tennis shoes for school and Aiden needed some tennis shoes for fall. Found some for Tay no problem. So as I'm looking at the little boys shoes, I picked out a few pairs and tried them on him. Okay, I tried to try them on him! My boy has some big feet!
Maybe it's not that they're that big, it's just they're w-i-d-e. Technically, he would wear a 5-1/2. I could not get his foot in a regular 5-1/2 shoe! Oh yeah, they make wide shoes for toddlers, hence the big "W" on the box, nice! Wow, it's so different shopping for a boy. I've had 10 years shopping for a girl, still trying to get use to the shopping for a boy thing. I still want to go pink, purple, and cute! :)
So, I found a pair of WIDE's in 5-1/2. Still could not get his foot in there. Okay, so I'm thinking what's the deal? Is he crinkling up his toes in there? Are they getting bunched up? I was almost breaking a sweat trying to get his foot in them! Didn't work, so I moved up a half size. Found a pair of 6's in a WIDE. These little buggers! I had to undue the velcro strap and then put his foot in there. They're a little big and they make his feet look huge, but they fit! So Aiden is the proud (haha) owner of a pair of Nike tennis shoes! :)
So my boy has WIDE feet. I have to say, I was dying to see his sweet little feet when we got back to the hotel in Seoul. We were changing his clothes and I cupped his cute little feet in my hands. Made my heart melt. The first time I saw his cute, chubby feet was in this photo.
I knew he had the cutest feet from this photo, the very first photo I saw of him! And what I love most about his feet is when we're in the car, Aiden will whine a little, I'll glance back at him, he'll stick out his left foot, I'll cup his cute little foot in my hand, rub it, and hold it. He loves for me to do this. When I do this for him, I see complete comfort come over his face and he totally relaxes. Just melts a mamma's heart! :)
