Kindergarten shoes -- color?

[hocus2]

I'm looking at some MJ type shoes for Kindergarten. Something nicer than sneakers for days that kid my wears dresses.

We're limited because we need a wide size.

Would you pick silver, gold, brown or black?

I'd let her pick at 5.

She is 4 actually. She'd want pink, which I'm not on board with. She already has pink sneakers if she want that option.

I want something that will go with a wide variety of dresses and look nicer than her pink sneakers.

I get DD black for fall/winter and silver for spring/summer. She outgrows them fast enough to make this possible!

[cjeanette]

I would let her have the pink.

I was thinking gold. She'll like that but I haven't seen many gold shoes around. I though maybe it was not in style these days.

Gold is my go-to metallic these days, but black might be more versatile.

Link? I'd like to have a cuter option for DD1.

However, be prepared for her to start having strong opinions on her shoes. I always bought DD1 cute mary jane style tennis shoes to wear to school because she almost always wears skirts or dresses. But last year (pre-K 4), all the little girls started wearing those sparkly "Twinkle Toes" shoes by Sketchers.



I basically hate them. They light up, which I'm actually okay with, but I think they're hideous. And they aren't very well made -- the Velcro on the straps starts coming apart almost instantly. But literally all the other girls wear them, and so she's on her second pair.

As for your actual question, I'd go for silver probably, but gold could be cute too. My five year old is sort of obsessed with gold stuff (probably from princess movies?), so she'd probably love the gold.

silver or gold

[jeaniebueller]

Black so it goes with most things.

[quickstepstar]

I like brown with most things.

I'd do black or navy if that's an option.

I'm willing to bet if she doesn't have extremely strong feelings about her shoes yet, she will shortly after school starts. I wouldn't buy her any yet, I would wait and see what she wants in a few months. My oldest stopped wearing dresses at all in kindy (wanted to climb on the bars and such) and bece obsessed with having boots instead. And every show I picked out for her for kindy didn't get worn at all because they weren't what she wanted.

I have black and silver in my cart. I want something for the first day otherwise I'd wait. My plan was give her the choice between 2 tea dresses for the first day and either shoe would work. If she wants to wear something else or if is very hot then we'll change the plan.
