I like to have a wander around the discount style stores and when I do if my daughter is with me she tends to buy herself a colouring book or some stickers with her pocket money. A couple of months ago we were in Poundland and she asked if she could buy herself these shoes for her dressing up box and although the thought of broken ankles were going through my head I allowed her to buy them.

These style of shoes are available in many places but at a much higher price than this pair since they were from Poundland I'm sure you can work out they were £1.

The shoes are made of hard plastic with a flexible rubbery piece which sits across the toes, there is a slight heel on the shoes about 2cms high. The plastic on the heel is pretty harsh so we sanded it down with sandpaper. The pair my daughter chose are pink in colour which I could have guaranteed is what she would pick as she is pink mad.

The shoes don't give any idea of what size child they are to fit but my daughter is a size 11 and I would say this is the maximum size that would be any good as they fit her perfectly but I'm not sure how small a foot they would fit although they are too big for my daughter who has size 5 feet.

My daughter has had these while now and she manages to walk in them perfectly well although I don't allow her to walk up and down stairs in them as that is sure to end in injury. These shoes are quite pretty as far as plastic shoes go and for the price she paid they are fantastic. My daughter loves that she has heels like Mammy and that she has pretty heels for when she dresses up, well recommended.
