shoe dilemma!

DD (almost 3) will be wearing her Sleeping Beauty dress for MNSSHP. My first instinct is to throw her red Mickey crocs on her, but she'll undoubtedly want the blister-ridden plastic princess shoes. Is there a pair of shoes that would be pretty AND comfortable? Any ideas?

Mmmm what about a Ballet Flat, something like this - I know it wouldn' t "match" but there should be something relevant out there that would appease your wee one and keep her feet blister free.

When I took my niece a couple of years ago she just wore her runners. We were lucky because her dress was long enough.

My three younger girls wore their pricess dresses the last time we went to the Princess Breakfast and the oldest and youngest's dresses were long so they just happily wore sneakers since you really couldn't see them anyway but the middle one had a shorter cinderella dress and refused to wear sneaakers so I got her inexpensive ballet flats and spray painted them silver. They looked great and she was comfortable in them all day. You could probably even get the glittery paint. Your DD will probably love them - mine did!!!

That's a great idea...a definite possibility!

My DD was a princess for Halloween. She wore ballet slippers for her shoes. However, we bought her the soft padded ones (the ones that look like bedroom slippers.) They have them at Walmart in the Girls dance section. They cost about $5-6 a pair. They worked great. They were super cute, matched her outfit, and didn't give her blisters!

They also sell sparkly pink, red and silver flats at Target that have been very convenient for dress up, but also have become favorite footwear in general because of the sparkles.

I have the same issue for the MNSSHP! Only, my daughter will be turning one while we're there and she won't walk much. I think I'm going to get her a pair of silver tennis shoes now so she can break them in a bit. They do cost a bit more, but she'll love wearing them more than just that one time.

Something like this...

My DD just wears white sandals with her princess dresses. I don't even bring her tennis shoes any longer. We have red crocs, pink crocs and white sandals... all cozy.

That was going to be my suggestion as well. DD would live in them if I'd let her. I got her some of the princess skimmers at the Disney Outlet this year though, so she's wearing them instead.

That is what we did as soon as they grew out of Robeez. We use them for Christmas too. Good luck!

If you don't see her being comfortable in those you can always find some sparkly or Princess themed Jibbitz for her Crocs.
