Where can I buy classic button fastening girls shoes ??

[mummyloveslucy]

We are going to a wedding at the end of may. I've bought my daughter a lovely "I love gorgeous" dress which is raw silk shiffon, very floaty and pretty.
It's ivory with tiny pink flowers dotted around it. I wanted some classic shoes for my daughter which would compliment the dress. I love the start-rite english classics, especially the one with a button fastening. They only come in white or pink though. White would be more practical as it'd go with more things after the wedding but it would'nt look as good with the dress as it's ivory. The pink ones would look good but wouldn't go with much afterwards and also, they are a nightmare when they scuff.
Do you know any where else or any other brand that do classic button fastening girls shoes? She is 4 years old and a size 11 F/G

Anyone ?

Try a dance shop , some tap shoe styles have a button fastening or Next have some rather nice ones like these

Monsoon did some a while back. Not sure if they still do them now, but they did specialise in the bridesmaid type shoe. Is it worth checking out the website?

Thanks LIZS, I think it's the national shoes that have the button. I wonder if they come in white. It's worth a look. The next ones are really pretty too.

I've seen the monsoon ones. They never seem to be a good fit for my daughter. She has a high instep, so it's a bit tricky.

Character shoes only come in black canvas in small sizes. Tap shoes come in pink, white, black or tan and older character shoes come in black, white or tan leather.

These are gorge, but so pricey:

I have seen some similar to these recently, in either H&M or Zara, though can't recall which one.

Have you been to a bridal shop? I bought my bridesmaid (more than a decade ago, though) some ivory silk shoes which sound exactly like what you're looking for.

These are pretty:

there are a few spanish makes that do theses shoes, they are dulces, op!, josemaria and leon. i buy them for my dd in spain but you might be able to get them online. startrite do a grey leather, which i think i have seen in selfriges and it looked more cream than grey.

quite sweet:
