Large girls school shoes?

Options
12yo SD has a pair of size 8 school shoes which are too small for her :eek:

Have trailed around looking today but out of the small size 9 selection available, they are all seem to be slip-on style which are too wide for her.

She need the length of a size 9 but with laces or adjustable strap or something to fit accross the foot. Does anyone have any ideas?? :confused:

    Hi,

    My sister is a size 9 and she gets quite alot of her shoes from Evans. I know its a big ladies shop, but the shoes I think their sizes start at 4 and go up to 10 and they are quite fashionable. Their website is www.evans.co.uk.

    They will probably even have some in the sale already!

  • My friends daughter has size 12 feet (she is 14yrs old) and my friend has now resorted to buying her feminine shoes from a ahem...."specialist" (i.e tranny) shop. Her son is size 15 (he's 12 yrs old) and has to get some of his sports shoes from the States.
    I am a size 9 but I live and die in Crocs, I'm afraid and sometimes trainers. Evans shoes are ok but sometimes come up a bit wide (and my feet are wide).

    wow, somebody who has 12 year olds with bigger feet than my sons, i have twins and both are in a size 13, and still growing.
    i'm female and take a size 10, evans always seem to have high heels and at 6 foot tall would prefer something lower or flat

    Clarks sell selected girls style in a size 9 - and because they are girls shoes they are available in the different width fittings.

    They also do a selected range of ladies shoes in a size 9 but only certain stores stock them. Your local store would have a list of size 9 stockists.

    (The alternatives at the time were just too hideous)
