Joules 'mouse' shoes for girls ... anyone bought them?

[Mumsnuttier]

I have ordered these for my dd's Xmas party season ... but although the catalogue claims that the soles are 'flexible for comfort', they are solid as rocks, and I have visions of her continually stepping out of them at the back. Has anyone's dd got these? I don't want to try them on her if I can help it because they are meant to be a surprise from grandma.

my dd has these, mine are fairly hard, but dd lvoes them and can wear them without socks and they dont rub or hurt her at all.

Hooray! Many thanks for the info. They are blardy expensive for something not made of leather, but irresistible, I fear ...
