DD has asked for platform shoes (as well as an iPhone 11 which I won't be buying).

Similar to these. I cannot find anything like them. Anyone got any ideas as to where?

She's 12 and her feet are size 2 at best. And feet are narrow.

Any ideas?

My niece (13) in August bought very similar styled shoes in Zara, I remember vividly because they really reminded me of ''Spice" mania in the 90's with the Spice Girls.

Your best bet may be just to Google and see what comes up, good luck.

Is it the chunkyness or specifically the watch fastening she likes? Very Bros Grin!

If it’s the chunky sole I believe I’ve heard them referred to as flatforms (geddit?) and/or stack wedges which might help with your search though the ones I’ve linked only start from size 3.

They’re bloody awful looking aren’t they!

Search Black Leather Flatforms and you'll find loads of examples, like these beauties!

ASOS do them too. Now hoping my DD doesn't ask for the same Grin

Sorry - just registered you need size 2. You're right, it's slim pickings in that size. I found a couple of options below but not great. Try looking at Wish - I think you are going to need to order from China (freaky shoes & small sizes)!

Bingo! (I hope my insomnia helps you Wink had some bad news tonight but it turns out looking for random shoes is a good distraction!).

Tell her your budget, and tell her if she finds a pair she likes in her size and within budget you’ll buy them.

I wouldn’t do a ton of legwork myself on this when there’s the potential for it being a really frustrating search and the chance you’ll ultimately buy the wrong thing!

If she’s 12 with access to the internet she can do the shortlisting!

Flatforms!

That's it.

And thanks for all your work @luckingfovely
