went to try and get dd1+2 their winter boots yesterday. they bought out 3 pairs of boots with about a 3cm heel, quite wedgey mind you. but still, a substational heel for a childs shoe. they have said to go back during the week to see if they have anything suitable in.
have told the dd's they are spending this winter in welly boots and to change into their school shoes at breaktimes if the weather has improved. PITA though.
