Dd will end up in trainers when she's a bridesmaid unless you can help me

[Cappster]

Dd1 is disabled, wears orthotic splints on her feet. Really only lace-up shoes work, or shoes with high fronts - so no ballet shoes, sandals, boots, heels, etc, etc.

She tends to wear quite funky trainers outside school, and boy-style black shoes for school.

She is going to be a bridesmaid at the end of the month and I am tearing my hair out googling for shoes. Everything is ballet shoes or Mary Janes. Does no-one sell rather lovely delicate trainer-type shoes? Or even something different like a jewelled converse boot?

Have tried Next, Monsoon, Converse, Lelli Kelly [retch], Bhs - anyone else for me to try?

I want them too Hathor, but I am not fit to be let loose in charge of pale coloured shoes.
An ex boyfriend had the lovliest pair of silver shiny docs. Happy memories

Some tutorials on YouTube about customising shoes and trainers.

I'm quite tempted now to have a try myself for dds

I had purple DMs with yellow laces when I was a teenager.

My mother binned them.

She has not yet been forgiven, and it was nearly 30 20 years ago.

She's 11 - a size 3. I love LOTS of those but a lot don't have the right size.

I'm certainly feeling more hopeful now though there are loads to go at here

Although i must admit they are pricey when their feet grow so quickly...i made DS1 wait until he was a size 5 to buy some because then i can have them when he outgrows them

Yes it was Randoms call at the start of the thread...

Maryz - I have that exact amazon page open

I get the feeling this may not be the new MN scarf though - they're an acquired taste ... but next time i see a lady in a pair of flowery docs

Do any in particular stand out Cappster ? We can search further based on those ?

What about Toms?

I had green doc martins as a teen and customised them using glitter glue. It stayed on surprisingly well and was still there long after the leather split and I eventually threw them out. Alternatively you could get some plain converse and do them up with fabric pens and glue on rhinestones.

I'm inspired now! Although, I really want these

DD has these whihch go up to size 3: www.ilovegorgeous.co.uk/accessories/shoes/sparkly-plimsoll-silver.html

They also have these: www.ilovegorgeous.co.uk/accessories/shoes/silver-bowler-shoes.html, although they only go up to a 2 (otherwise I woudl get them!) Maybe large sizes?

this one I am liking especially

I love the docs but concerned they might be heavy

dress is this one

not sure if lace up enough

These are very pretty

Yoox.com may be a good bet. They deliver fast and returns are free.
I like these and these (pricey) and best of all these.
There are more.

OP as soon as I read your post those shoes sprung to mind. I saw then IRL yesterday in KG. I am tempted by them myself but they would not last five minutes for me!
