Very practical question here - does anyone know where I can get 2.5 yr old dd ( with big size 8 feet) a pair of really nice slippers that she might actually like enough to leave on? I've tried a myriad of little zippy styles, velcro styles, but none of them seem comfy enough to stay on the feet. We got through last year with non-slip socks, but now (tis my fault for making sock puppets with her ) all socks immediately go onto hands as puppets, which is fun, but she's left with little icicley toes. I've looked and looked, but can't find anything that are flexible enough to please her in the house, and she's a dab hand at removing all sorts of fasteners, so think it's just a case of getting some really lovely ones thatshe likes (she likes, btw, bright colours, stripes, and isn't particularly girly, otherwise I'd get her some sparkly ones, or something). At the moment, when her feet get cold, she pops on her wellies, which is less than ideal (feet still get cold - floor gets muddy - tantrums when wellies removed- plus, I cannot, any longer, bear thinking that all my neighbours and relatives think I don't buy shoes, and we have a familial rubber boot fetish). Any ideas?
