Non-pink/flowery toddler girls' pumps that fit properly?

Hi.

My DD is 2. She has size 6F feet. In an ideal world I'd like to keep her in properly fitted shoes designed for toddlers' feet (like Clarks or Start-Rite) but I am sick to death of everything being bloody pink and flowery!

Does anyone know anywhere that sells toddler shoes/pumps that are a bit less pink!? I love these(and think the colour would go with everything, i know theyre technically pink but think they look far more neutral) but don't want to get her 'cheap' shoes....

Any help much appreciated!

Depends how much you want to spend - these aren't too pink but are £20 Start Rite doodles
Also blue from Clarks 2 strap Doodles
traditional style blue flowers

Jojo Maman Bebe do canvas shoes for £10

Thanks.

Just out of interest. Do you you even bother to make the distinction when it comes to pumps? I like the idea of keeping her feet in 'proper' shoes but do wonder how different next or m&s pumps can be from the Clarks ones...

Hmm not sure dd is nearly two and not yet walking so she has to have special shoes anyway. I think first shoes and school shoes need to be 'proper' but otherwise, as long as they are measured regularly, it's probably not that big a deal

It depends how much they are being worn with me - and if you are confident checking the fit I don't think it matters where they are from as long as they fit. When I've looked in shops in France I've never seen width fittings is it an English thing?
Personally I buy fitted Doodles as DD3 spends most of the summer in them, but buy cheap stroppy sandals as she can't wear them to preschool or in a playground so they are really just to look pretty.

I've bought the cheaper pumps from Sainbos and Next & won't again, they're not supportive enough. Startrite ones were fab last year but mostly pink!

Those pale blue Startrite ones with the red buckle/strawberry design sound good then :)
