I have always brought dd nursery / school shoes from Clarkes as I wanted her to wear good fitted schools. She however would really like some lelli kelly shoes (what girl wouldn't). She doesn't really ask for a lot and when she does its something she really likes and uses. Aibu to get her some. I know they are super expensive but she will be getting use out of them and will love them. I just worry about the fit. Does anyone know where and if I can get the shoes fitted professionally?

DD had Lelli Kellis when she started school.
Bought and fitted at a local independent. And tbh they were only one of 2 pairs that fitted her silly shaped feet. They looked fab and fitted perfect
Ruined in 2 weeks. One minor scuff and all the patent peeled off the toe box. Would NEVER buy them again.

Luckily the shoe shop swapped them for a different brand (Petasil) that were soooo much better

Thanks passthecherrycoke. I will check but I can't see them in the online store.

I don't have a girl so don't know about fit/wear etc. but I'm pretty sure I have seen lelli Kelly in Clarks.

Perfectly acceptable school shoe, my daughter had them more often than Clarks. I wasn't a fan of the patent either, I would recommend but advise to go for leather

I'm sure I've seen them in John Lewis. They're very expensive, but if you're willingly pay it I can't see why they wouldn't be decent everyday wear shoes.

I bought LK’s for DD in Charles Clinkard online sale one year, only size left was her size, and cheaper than Clarks at sale price. They were the patent with changeable straps....fab and lasted her the whole school year.
