My almost 9 year old actually bought almost identical ones from Sketchers in the last year or two from a shopping trip with grandma, and didn't actually wear them once she brought them home and the initial excitement wore off. They are pretty babyish and most girls are outgrowing those styles by third grade. That said, mine wouldn't think twice about another kid wearing them, BUT I know there are other third grade girls that are starting to get a bit judgmental and may have something to say about those shoes. Whether there are similar girls in your DD's class, and whether your DD would care if they were called babyish is a different story.

So even though they were a waste of (my MIL's) money for us, I'd probably still get them for her. It could be a complete non-issue, or she could just wear them outside of school. But better for her to decide she's too old for them than you tell her that. [/quote]
