Hi, my daughter is nearly 11 but is very tall and just grown out of her size 7 G Start-rite shoes. I looked on the Start-rite website before going to the shop and all they have in a 7.5 or 8 are brogues, which she thinks are boyish and also too stiff. She has very soft skin which marks and blisters very easily. Or dolly style patent toe ones that she's had before but rubbed, so she always had to use plasters and an extra pair of socks. I kept thinking they'd ware in but they didn't..
I've also looked on the Clarks website and they only do either stiff looking brogues or slip on shoes. My daughter has problems with her co-ordination and would probably end up breaking her neck in slip on shoes.
We bought her some Vans about 2 weeks ago as we thought they'd be soft and comfy for school but already she's saying that her little toes are rubbing and she has a blister! She's had Vans before so I thought the width would be fine. She does have very wide feet and kind of square toes. Her feet kind of look like a bigger version of toddlers feet.
Anyway, she needs new shoes today preferably and I'm really not sure where to go. I want someone to fit them for her so that I can take them back if they're not right...
Thanks
