Dd and I are having second thoughts. They fit perfectly & are acceptable to the school but the hearts look little girly.

Dd is a size 1 G and is almost 12.

Creepers are very popular at dd's high school.

I'm wondering whether to the them back to the shop & ask if they can order a pair the same but with no hearts or decoration.

Brogues are not wide or deep enough.

Ballerina style sent allowed and dd can't wear them anyway as she pronates due to an incredibly high instep

Not a chance. I would struggle to get my 9yo into these as well. Ballet flats or brogues.

Meant to say at dd's school anyway.

Not in a million years. They all wear slip on ballerina type shoes.

At the yr7 open evening there were current yr7 wearing similar but the vast majority were in brogues

Brogues is what all the other girls dds age and younger in the shoe shop seemed to be having. The only two pairs in the whole shop (start rite lelli lelli, grid etc ) that fitted dad were these plus a similar pair in patent.

No.

She wouldn't have worn anything like this for a few years tbh they are a bit 'young'. The in thing at Dd1's school is to wear brogues, that's what she'll have as will dd2 who starts year 7.
