School shoes

Had to deviate from the usual Clarks shoe shopping routine today as they don't do school shoes in any size smaller than a 7. Since my little shrimp only measured as 6 we had to leave disappointed. Luckily a local independent retailer stocked smaller sizes and we were able to choose from 4 styles. The down side was that they were all patent leather. She's only really had shoes with a scuff bumper on before. The last pair without lasted about 2 days. Wonder how these will cope?!
