Girls school shoe advice

Hi, I am a school shoe novice as my 11 year old daughter going into yr 7 in Sept has never had a uniform before. She is tall and her feet are a 5 1/2 according to Clarks today (actually they measured her initially as a 6 1/2 but I demanded a recount!). She didn't fit into any of their black shoes.
School uniform policy states black, sensible, plain unembelished. Any suggestions as places other than Clarks we could get nice leather school shoes for her size. I did think about Dr Martins but would worry they would be too heavy all day.
Thanks so much

Zero shoe bullying at DD's school as well because of the uniform rules.

Shoe bullying Shock. We are not allowed patent leather, because you can't buff out scuffs and scratches.

The most important thing for school shoes is that they fit well, DD will walk upwards of a mile round the school each day.
