[quote=Anonymous]OP here and honestly I am still torn. I agree the shoes are impractical and not well made. She hates the more practical choices I suggested. But I generally try to defer to her on style choices because she's the one who will be wearing them. This is the first time that I've wondered if maybe I should be trying to convince her that a more practical athletic shoe (which is what most of the other kids in her grade wear) is a better choice even though she thinks it's ugly.

I think I'm in my head about it because my mom was super controlling about how I dressed though actually she constantly bought clothes for me that were too young and immature and didn't listen to me when I explained that kids would make fun of me if I wore them (which they 100% did). And also it just bugged me she was always trying to dress me like a toddler.

So yes I know I'm being mildly ridiculous here but it's because this is a subject where I have a lot of parenting baggage and am trying to do better by my kid but am not really sure what "better" is here.[/quote]
