Just witnessed an advert promoting these shoes.

Dear god they must be the cheapest and nastiest looking footwear I have ever seen.

Some hideous lilac boot of some discription for between £60 and £70, honestly who would spend that amount of money to make your child look so cheap?

Awful looking things.

There has been a thread on this before - divided opinion iirc!

scrappydappydoo · 23/10/2008 14:39

but you get a free make up set!!
(btw I agree they're horrible)

YANBU - They are vile.

AnarchyAunt · 23/10/2008 14:43

Have never seen advert, but presume it is in american accent as DD (5) calls them "Erly Kerly" shoes

MorningTownRide · 23/10/2008 14:43

And don't forget the lovely make up that comes with them bleeeeeurgh

SmallShips · 23/10/2008 14:48

That advert makes my skin crawl. Its so, so awful!

LittlePeanut · 23/10/2008 14:51

Hate the advert. Hate the boots. Seriously though, who the hell buys stuff like that?

LynetteScavo · 23/10/2008 14:52

Calm down ladies - it's only a shoe

lulumama · 23/10/2008 14:53

i buy them for my DD. so shoot me

RubyShivers · 23/10/2008 14:54

i cannot get worked up about glittery shoes

they are less offensive than many of the "hilarious" slogan T-shirts i have seen

LynetteScavo · 23/10/2008 14:54

enjoy

louii · 23/10/2008 14:56

I didn't realise there was another thread, glad I am not the only one staring in horror at the TV when those hideous shoes come on.

Nasty shoes, nasty adverts, awful overdubbed song.

Naturally DD loves them. I am mean mummy and deny her hearts desire.

Marne · 23/10/2008 15:01

I hate them although dd has had a pair, i got them in a sale for £5, no way would i bay more than £30 for shoes.

soon2be3 · 23/10/2008 15:32

I saw a pair selling for £2 at a jumble sale......

Gobbledigook · 23/10/2008 15:36

They are HIDEOUS and no dd of mine would be wearing them (if I had one)

louii · 23/10/2008 15:38

Actually the price of childrens shoes in general is crazy.

Went to get DS a pair of boots for the winter in Clarks, £36, i would rarely spend that on shoes for myself, he is only 3, his shoes are tiny for gods sake.

yes. they really are way worse than the tatty shite you get in Next and Disney.
Presume you lot all only buy Tartin et Chocolat.

My DD has the Mary Janes and she loves them.

What toss.

Sycamoretree · 23/10/2008 15:41

They are rank, but i know if I was 6 again I would love them.

I distract wildly from the TV when the adverts come on.

I dunno - girls and glitter - one has to accept at some point that it is pretty much hardwired into their dna.

And I have spent 3 years successfully dodging pink and glitter.

But DD is only 3, and there is clearly going to come a time when she realises a world of spun sugar and tackiness exists out there that I have been hiding her from. I need to get rehearsing my excuses...

louii · 23/10/2008 15:42

No idea what Tartin et chocolat is.

But seriously have you seen the boots they have out, they are real naff, dont even mind the sequin things as much as what wee girl doesn't like sparkly shoes.

DraculaNeedsArteries · 23/10/2008 15:42

They have apeared on DTDs Christmas list for the third year running.

I don't think the elves know how to make them as they have not appeared in the stockings yet

Sycamoretree · 23/10/2008 15:44

Actually Pagwatch, Buckle My Shoe and Pom D'Api

sweetkitty · 23/10/2008 15:45

DD1 4 really wants LelliKelly boots but £60 to jump in puddles, I have told her they only do sizes fir 7 year old girls.

pagwatch · 23/10/2008 15:48

I like pom d'api. You get that nice tin

Buckle my shoe - not so much

The boots are crap. But people being snotty about shoes?
seriously?
