I have had some decent luck at rack room shoes - there are limited choices, but I have found wide sizes.
zappos has many more options -- you can order a few different pairs and have your child try one on to choose which one, and get the rest returned. if you time it right, you won't have two-four pairs of sneakers sitting on your credit card as it rolls from one billing cycle to the next...
I agree...New Balance. There was a store in Pleasant Valley. We bought our first pair there and then started buying them online.
That store was the one that told me NB makes shoes with two different "box size". One allows the 4E width that I need for my duck feet. I bought my first pair there, then went online. One bad thing - my shoe was later discontinued. The "replacement" model did fine, but then it was discontinued. The next replacement was also fine, but the 4th replacement seems different than the other ones. It may be time for a store visit again.

Lol! This is exactly the shape of my sons feet! Triangles.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I have bought New Balance for him in the past and they will work but he always wears holes in them at the widest part of his foot very quickly after buying them. The only shoes that haven't done this are the Stride Rite's. I'll give Nordstrom a try first and then go back to New Balance if they don't fit well.
I have bought over a dozen NB pairs for my kids and I and have found they vary in quality as of late.I know we have had trouble with the 608's (black) wearing out at the heal (on the inside ) although the white ones seem fine. . I have heard they are some styles made in the US (but not many), perhaps they are of greater quality and will last longer .
If you have never been to SRI, I highly recommend it. It's a factory full of shoes on display and they get shipments of wide shoes.
