Help! Can't find shoes for my DD

We're going to a wedding in a couple of weeks. I struggled to find an age appropriate dress (she's 9) but now the shoes have become a nightmare. She's a 3.5 but I can't seem to find that size anywhere. Tia

Mark's and spencer and next do half sizes. At that size you might need to start shopping in the ladies section.

Have been trying to post a pic of the dress but app won't let me. Yes we've been to both and must styles are too adult.

What are you looking for? A pair of ballet flats in a particular fabric/colour?

Interested in this thread?

Yes we've tried flats and boots. Flats tend to be too narrow, so she needs a wider fit but then become.too big.

I am a 3.5. Halfs are difficult to come by.New look do wide fit and I can wear a 3 wide fit in shoes and ballet flats.I have a pair of shoes from debenhams which are a 3 and they fitted. I'm an adult though so depends on what style you are after.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 17/02/2020 16:25

Can she get away with a 3 or a 4?

MaudebeGonne · 17/02/2020 16:26

At that age a pair of converse style shoes work well with a more elegant dress.

How about some Doc Marten chelsea Boots? They are wise but cone up large so a 3 would probably fit. They can look really cute with a dressy frock. Zara does good children's shoes in EU sizes, not too expensive but often a narrow fit.

Clark’s outlet online have girls 3.5 black flats with little strap over in a few different widths

Have you tried amazon? I had to buy DSs winter boots from amazon as I failed in real shops.
Landsend do extra wide but I think the smallest they do is a 4.

Apparently those ballerinas are too glittery!

Thanks! We're trying to get some from TK Maxx as she's been impossible about it!
