Stride Rite Sneakers Sizing--What size is your child?

I was just at Marshall's the other day and they had cute Stride Rite sneakers for $10! They were small sizes so I got a pair for my son, size 5 1/2. I have no idea if I am maybe squeezing his feet in, they seem to fit and when I put his foot up to the shoe they seemed a bit bigger. He's 17 months...what size are your kids wearing /what age? THANKS!

PS--If anyone wants info or for me to grab them a pair of the stride rite's at Marshall's, FM me! I think they only had 5 and 5 1/2. AND they are on Stride Rite's site for $48!!

ETA--In the first paragraph, I meant the SHOE seemed a bit bigger than his foot, not vice versa!

My DS is 16 months and I just bought him a 7XW. I suppose he's closer to a 6 1/2 but still. Big dogs! I dont think you can go by other kids though, my nephew is almost a year and wears a 3. The only concern I have about SR shoes from Marshalls is if they are irregular in some way. I can understand if its a style from a past season being so much less but a current style being only $10? KWIM? I know I can tell what is or isnt fitting my foot properly but I don't trust my DS (even my 3 year old) to tell me if something doesn't feel right. I might just be a skeptic though

Just thought of something else, this store just expanded and is a superstore with the huge shoe section and they have a LOT on clearance. Maybe it is their old stock and they're trying to get rid of it? Okay, laughing b/c I'm having a conversation with myself on my thread!!

I got Lauren size 5's for the fall/winter. When Andrew was the same age, he wore the same, or maybe even a 6.

Andrew is almost 3.5 and he's in a 10 (he has small feet!).

ETA: you can always go into a SR store and get his foot measured and then not buy there, so at least you know what size he is wearing.

I just bought Roman shoes at Stride Rite. He is 20 months and they measured him at a size 7.5. I also went to Marshall's and bought him some Carter's shoes in a size 7 which were big. Stride Rite shoes run big, when the woman told me 7.5 I was like but the sneakers I bought actually fit.

I think you're just a skeptic honestly. If the shoes are irregular, they should be labeled as such on the tag, b/c that is considered "fair" to the consumer - they have to tell you what you are buying.

I've gotten several pairs of SR shoes at Marshall's...they are usually past season - which is totally funny when it comes to kids - but, I love scoring a deal on great shoes!!!
