So, DD3 who is 14 is desperate for these shoes Doc Marten platforms - she would wear them both in and out of school (and it seems they would fall in the school uniform policy). Part of me thinks 'okay, she's at the age where she wants to be a bit edgy/have her own style and, whilst the platform is a bit high, they are probably a lot better for her feet than some of the shoes I wore to school in the 80s'. The other part of me thinks 'This surely can't be good for her posture/feet'. Also, I'm worried that I will undermine myself given that originally I had said she could have the similar style that has a smaller platform - but it seems they just won't cut it (and she will continue to wear her DM boots to school all summer rather than have the 'real' platforms), so getting them would mean me backing down.
WWYD wise MNers?

Would you allow your 14 year old these (platform Doc Martens) for school?

They are expensive, but last for years!
