I've just been looking at on-line shops including Clarks and Startrite and cannot believe the stark gender divisions in what is on offer. In Clarks, for girls it is bloody pink, more pink, oh hold on, there's a pair of ankle boots, no they're "violet" - still on the pink spectrum for me.
Start-rite to be fair doesn't have an abundance of pink but the shoes look like those worn in the 1950's, very girly and the price of them is eye-watering especially as I have twins.
All I want are some reasonably priced, gender neutral shoes/trainers for knocking about in, not some bloody sparkly pink confection costing the same as some adult footwear.
So, AIBU?
