shop till you drop

well , it feels like that when you take a 12 year old girl to buy some shoes.


J2 loves shoes, she really does, and until now buying shoes for her has been fairly easy. But now her feet are ladies 7-8 UK size (US 10-10.5, continental 41-42) and there are very few shoes available for children in those sizes, and I don't think she's ready for 3" heels yet (not for school anyway!).


So after she'd tried on 5 pairs of shoes, with no success, we went for black trainers/sports shoes (which the school accepts, thankfully). NINE pairs of trainers later we'd found some that didn't rub her heels and, more importantly to J2, didn't look like boys' trainers.

It was much more fun when I used to buy her dinky little shoes like these... sigh
