My DD has super chubby feet too and has basically lived in croc's until I found some great shoes right under my nose at Target for $15. They are called babies first walker ( I think ) and they go up to about a size 7, come in some really cute designs and go the distance. DD wore them on our holidays recently and they still look great and we did alot of walking. She never complained about how tight they were at the front and I could even see that there was a nice comfy amount of room around her chubby feet.
