Firstly, no one sells school shoes for girls in a size 6 anymore - they seem to stop at about a size 1. The only shoes you can get are womens/granny moccasins, which she won't be caught dead in. Or those really girly little ballerina ones or Mary Janes ones (or whatever they are called) which she hates. Which leaves boots or sandals, which they aren't allowed to wear. And most shoes are very slim fitting, and she has quite wide feet. Been in soooo many shoe shops that I think I have worn my shoes out now!
So, off to one of these outlet retail places tomorrow, see if that is any more helpful.
You wouldn't have thought a pair of girl's school shoes would have been like finding dodo droppings, would you?
