+1 and cheaper, too.

I wear a women size 6, but sometimes will look for youth size 4 shoes for things like sneakers because they are cheaper.


OP here. Nothing is wrong with kids' sizes! DD currently has multiple pairs of shoes in youth sizes plus some coats. I think she is looking for item that are less kid-like in appearance and perhaps a little more sophisticated.

I looked at Blundstone and they don't have that size or kids' sizes. Any other recommendations that aren't obviously too kiddie-ish?


Blundstones would be perfect. They have kid sizes.

OP, Blundstone makes kids sizes. As does Doc Martens, which make similar Chelsea boots, some that are shearling lined.

La canadienne comes in 5 and runs small. They’re great for a dressier pair of boots you can still wear through a slush puddle.

Columbia? Tip Top on 72nd Street between Broadway and Columbus will have a great selection of boots, and the salespeople are really helpful. They also have a children's store on the same block. It's a quick walk from the 72nd Street stop on the 1 line.

Columbia boots are nice and very functional.

I’m a size 5 and wear Sorel and LLBean lined boots. I bought Blundstones in the smallest size and wear thickest socks.
