Grrr.... kids shoes

Is anyone else having trouble finding bridesmaid/flower girl shoes??

My SD2B is 9 years old and an adult size 5 in shoes :eek: I'm really :confused: to find nice flat shoes/sandals for her to wear to the wedding - I'm sure she'd love high heels, but my personal opinion is that heels are inappropriate for a 9 year old (I'd spend the whole day worrying that she'll break her neck in them - she's incredibly clumsy :laugh: :rolleyes2)

I've seen lots of lovely shoes, but they generally only go up to an adult size 3 - it's like :wall:

    New look?

    They have a kids section (beware it does also contain impossible heels!) but also has some nice flats/sandals - as does the adult section usually.

    How about ballet pumps?

    You will definitely find them in the adult section in a size 5 (although shame it isn't as cheap!) - do H & M kids do shoes? Perhaps have a look on ebay (you can search for new only!)?

    Debenhams had some sparkly cream ballet pumps the wedding section other day, I think they went up to a size 6! They were on sale as well, so perhaps if there's one near you it might be worth seeing if they have them in :D

    What about these, or these, or these?

    They all go up to size 7. They have lots more summery style shoes in different colours.

    Good old Next!
  • Hi

    One of my flower girls was 10 and needed a size 5 and we got some lovely simple ivory ballet shoes from BHS. They had a very good selection.

  • Hi there, i saw some gorgeous flats in New Look yesterday. They were ivory satin but can't remember how much they were. Don't think they would break the bank though, hth Tiger x

    I had the same issue with my bridesmaid. We found some in Barrats which were pink and had a tiny little heel, but really only very small, for £20 (size 5). BHS also seemed to have cream ones which were very 'bridesmaidy'.
    There is no such thing as a free lunch. Its only free because you've paid for it.

    Noone can have everything they want and the sooner you learn that the better.
