Shoe shopping with DD....

kind of makes me want to consider a school with uniforms.  She has lived in Crocs since she was walking (fuzz lined during the winter).  She did venture into the world of flipflops a tiny bit this summer but her school doesn't allow flipflops.  As a result, the child has one pair of shoes for school, a pair of purple Crocs.  So we've been shoe shopping.  Five stores yesterday, at least 5 more today.  She is looking for ones that light up and are purple and all we're finding is glitter covered or pink Disney princess.  So today I finally find the perfect pair of shoes for her.  They light up, they are purple and they have Rapunzel on them (her all time fav princess).  And she doesn't want them.  She wants the ones we saw yesterday, at store number 4, the ones that don't light up and aren't even really purple.  The best part is, this is just for the sneakers.  She went shopping with Grandma yesterday and bought 3 dresses and a skirt so now we need to find shoes to go with them too.  Urgh.  At least Grandma already bought a backpack she loves and her optional supply list is only 3 things.

    I feel your pain. I hate shoe shopping with DD. she is so picky and she loves the sparkly Toms but they slide on her heel because her foot is so narrow. Trying to find shoes that fit her and that she likes is really hard.

    Do you buy shoes to match all her outfits? 

    My kids have a pair of gym shoes and a pair of sandals for the summer.  They rarely wear their gym shoes now though.  For school, they'll get a new pair of gym shoes and a pair of slip-ons.  I don't care if their shoes match their outfits...

    DD has to wear tennis shoes to school each day or at least something she can wear to gym {Toms work}...it is great.

    Are you sure she can wear Crocs to school? Both those and flip flops are forbidden 100% and you have to call your parents to bring you shoes.
