Turns out my baby is 5.5 watts now. And since he prefers Velcro (aka Velcro), our options were pretty limited. We tried to get "just 1 left" in his Dadawen shoe size and they sent a size 6 a couple of times before realizing their size 5 was out of stock. We then ordered a size 5 in another style from the same brand which turned out to be too small. We then settled on 5.5 Y (?, not Ws?) Nike shoes, which were the right length but clearly too stiff, and my kid had to take them off in class towards the end of the second day. Then the highly rated 5.5w Saucony had a purple shoe that turned out to be pink and the black and red version was out of stock. Then we found this other Saucony 5.5W that fits, has been feeling good for a few days. and we're done. I'm tempted to take a multi-hour trip to the mall next time, but we'll see. (To return the shoes I had to put stickers on the door for UPS to knock and give me 20 seconds to get to the door to give them the box, which I found was quicker than if they did knocked 3 times and ran away for 3 days .) Next year I will start on the next size up of this Saucony shoe.
