sandals not shoes

On Wednesday we got Evies feet measured...

...while we were in the shop waiting for our turn we saw F in Evies class :)

It turned out that F was one place ahead of us...

F's favourite colour was blue and she wrote 6 back to front :)

...her feet had grown and her Mum was explaining to her that as she needed new shoes now she may not necessarily need new shoes for the beginning of the new school year, her brother W starts reception year in September,  Her brother will be getting new shoes for September.

Thats a bit of a tricky one really...

...at least with just having Evie I dont have that to negotiate :)

It was then Evies turn

Evies favourite colour is pink and she wrote her 6 the right way around :)

She then had her feet measured and they hadnt grown.

That afternoon we were going to the supermarket so as we now knew what size we were looking for (size 10) we looked at sandals...

...the only ones that I could find in Evies size werent pink and therefore not acceptable!

So yesterday we looked in Primark and we did find some pink sandals that madam approved of so we bought them :)

Shoe shopping can be bit of a trial can't it. Lily is very hard on her feet so she usually needs substance over style. I've found sports direct can be quite good for school shoes, and at a reasonable price too. I tried some supermarket trainers for Lily once and they didn't last a week. X

I remember having no choice in the shoes I had to wear and hating what mother thought would last. Times have changed for the better with so much choice and lovely styles and colours now :)

Jules - Evies not usually too bad with her trainers, and I agree that supermarket shoes dont last as long.

Evie has insisted on wearing her school shoes last week, even though she has some grey shoes with little flowers on.

Eileen - you are right about there being so much more choice now (with everything :)).
