DD is 13, I can honestly see where she is coming from, but we are worlds apart when it comes to school shoes, she wants cheap tacky shoes that are not lasting more than 3 weeks, and I want her to have something more sturdy - like Clarks or Bootleg.
She has real problems with her feet as they are very flat and wide, she cant keep slip ons on, so really needs to have lace ups!!! For home wear I do relax and let her wear whatshe likes, but I feel that she could cut me some slack and look at the shoes I would like her to wear. Honestly I wouldn't make her wear just anything, I am not that cruel. Plus she wears trousers so basically you cant even see her shoes that she is wearing!
So please what do other parents do when buying DDs shoes for school, surely I am not the only one that has this difficulty?
I have tried her suggestion on the shoes for the last 6 mths, but where she is so heavy footed (takes after her Mother) she is wearing them out so quickly, its costing me a fortune!
Someone please help!
