A great, quality shoe as are all Stride Rites, but these regular width shoes seemed rather narrow.  I should have bought a wide size in this shoe but it wasn't available.  The price was right, though, so I went ahead and bought these for my one grandsons who does not have a particularly wide foot.  He wore them a little bit but they were difficult to get on his feet.  I went ahead and found a different model Stride Rite in a wide on Amazon and they fit him much better. I learned my lesson to err on the side of being too wide!  If you KNOW your child has a narrow foot, then this regular size might fit really well, otherwise I recommend the wide.
