While she doesn't have "Big A's" width issues, I want to make sure to get her something that's supportive and that she can put on and take off herself, but that doesn't look like an orthosis. Do you have any suggestions from when your son was young? Hi, my 6-year-old niece has Downs, and needs new waterproof boots.

In the meantime, the shoes arrived and they fit!<br/><br/>@Anonymous: Never heard of those. Google corrected my spelling to ETNIES. We'll check those out.<br/><br/>@Funny: I guess you mean a place like Florsheim's in a mall. I have a vague memory of trying to get his foot sized a few years ago and the shoe salesperson wasn't able to figure it out because his foot was wider than the device.

If it's not too disturbing to Big A, maybe you could figure out that way what size he would need.

I had a student with braces and this is what he had. You could maybe also try ETNES which is a wider, skateboard type shoe. I had a student with braces and this is what he had.

I bet a lot of people have the same trouble you do finding footwear, and probably have some good, less expensive suggestions. Are you involved in any discussion groups about Down Syndrome?
