Take her to stride rite when she starts cruising. Her feet might grow before then. DD1's feet were chubby and extra wide, so going into the store was best because measuring them at home, I might have bought a shoe that was too narrow. Buy the ugly, white, high ankle ones even if everyone else is buying cute adidas sneakers or chuck taylors or whatever. They have no support for the ankles or for the instep. You will be glad, because she will walk better and more confidently for it, and won't be tripping all over the place or have flat feet. Ok, I don't know if there is a correlation between sneakers and flat feet, but my mom said there was, and who am I to question her? In all seriousness, all the kids at my daughter's daycare whose parents bought the cute sneakers had problems when they tried walking, but DD1 was running before most were walking and I really believe it is down to the type of shoes they start out in.
