Ball of foot is fitted to widest measurement of shoe". Lastly, we have "4. Heel is fitted for a firm grip at top and bottom". The ad then tells us that "Your Robin Hood retailer carries this unusually large range of sizes and widths to assure you of the exact fit your child should have" and, below this, it claims that the prices ranged from $4.99 to $7.99 with prices higher from Denver and west. |
