What shoes (and how many pairs) do your DC's have?

Cos I never know what to get my DDs.

They are always asking what shoes can I wear with this? And they often have nothing that suits.

So They are 7 - and have trainers and "jelly's" - they kind of lack a nice pair of shoes/sandals to wear with skirts etc.
DD3 is 2 hand has canvas doodles.

DD1 has 1 pair of trainers,
1 pair of sandal/trainer things,
1 pair of silver ballet bumps
1 pair of sparkly pink ballet bumps which are meant to be for dressing up but get worn more than anything else
& 1 pair of wellies

DS2 has 1 pair of shoes,
1 pair of sandals
1 pair of wellies

dd (2.5) has crocs wellies, pink sandals, white and pink trainers, black 'school' type shoes, and some brown and pink gap trainers.

dd has sandals, trainers, smartish party shoes and ballet shoes. She also has snow boots and wellies but I doubt they fit her any more.

ds has nothing. He's far too lazy to walk despite showing all the signs of it for months now. And hurray for that, as it delays the inevitable and expensive trip to the shoe shop. Long may he shuffle on his little bottom.

Probably way too many, have 2 dd's a 4 and 5 year old and they both have the same number.

1 pair of trainers
1 pair of doodles type shoes
1 pair of smarter shoes
1 pair of school shoes
1 pair of sandals
1 pair of Lelly Kellys
1 pair of crocs
1 pair of wellies
1 pair of Plimsols for school
1 pair of ballet shoes for ballet

if it was winter, omit the sandals for boots
