first - I did not grow up in the UK - so no first hand experience with the school system and uniforms etc.
my DD is due to start school in sep (YR) and she is a real tom boy. I looked at the girl's school shoes and they seem, well, very girly and by far not as robust as the boys' shoes who would be much more suitable to DD's activity level (I know she will spent the breaks on the playground on the bikes which tend to ruin the shoes, kicking the ball, finding every puddle that is). she usually wears very unisex shoes - never ever the pink girly glittery shoes. also, she wears insoles and needs something supportive.
So basically I wondered if it would be really odd if I get her some boys shoes? Do other mums do this or would DD really stand out as a bit odd shoe-wise?
Alternatively, anybody any tips for getting some more robust girl?s school shoes?
