I only need non-heeled, non-patent, Black leather girls school shoes that aren’t lace up or Mary Jane

[Chocolala]

...for a 6 year old. How hard could it be? AAAARGH

Photo of previous ones found (we ‘polished’ the patent with regular shoe polish to hide it).

Anyone seen anything? DD cottoned on to the fact that I was shopping in the boys section previously and so anything with (black) hearts, flowers, unicorns or other twee and stereotypical guff on them is preferred.

I loved these for DD.

And theyre from the girls section

Oooh those 3 flower ones look really good! DD put through the toes of 2 otherwise perfect pairs of shoes in reception and she’s not particularly boisterous.

Ooo. She might go for the Crown Pride.

Kickers or M&S (can they really not be patent? That's them you've got a photo of isn't it?)

Sorry no these are the M&S

Could she have black Chelsea boots? I really like these (actually I really like these for me but sadly they don’t go up to my size - nearly but not quite).

Velcro Kickers brogues

Boot style with flower

Right. I’ve got a pair on order from the lovely eBay. If they dont work it’ll be the boot style with flower! (And me living on baked beans for a month ).
