I purchased the wide width and they fit my son's wider foot well.  The velcro strap seems to be higher up on the shoe than other stride rites we've had in the past, which necessitates the velcro strap being almost completely removed every time we put this shoe on him.  So, my 2.5-year-old really isn't able to put these shoes on by himself. I am a little dismayed by the quality of this particular style.  I purchased these for every day use so I wasn't expecting them to stay looking brand new forever. After only a week, though, little strings started loosening along the seems of the shoes and the velcro strap started unraveling on one of the shoes. I usually rely on Stride Rite to be a good quality shoe for my toddler but I would not recommend this style and will not purchase these again.
