John Lewis, Clarks, Selfridges, Clarks, Mothercare, Clarks, Boots, Clarks.

Their ranges are so sparse you'd think they be able to keep a decent stock.

The prices are so inflated you'd think they'd happily stock too many.

The quality is so poor you'd think they'd be turning them out like buttons.

The market is so captive you'd think there'd be no risk.

But no.

st quality, sky high prices, poor selection, stty designs, a license to print money but STILL NO fkING SHOES in stock.

bds.

And not just this week, sale week, the post christmas surge, but every frigging time we try to shop for shoes.

Independent shoe shop? They're rarer than a pair of toddler shoes.

Just buy it a pair of clogs. It doesn't care, and it won't thank you for dropping a fortune on pointless designer tat.

FFS it's a kid. Make it wear what it's given, the noisy little brat. And when it's wearing them, don't bother bringing it to the restaurant tomorrow night so it can ruin my night with it's squawking. Again.

hehe

TK Maxx. thumbup

In case your kids should be called "Povvo!" at nursery, school them to say that while poor people need to save money, rich people prefer to.
