LO has some ballet style Clarks flats and they are night and day compared to Gap shoes. The materials, construction and support are much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-ballet-flats-for-preschool#post-2055750 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 13:03:02 +0000 T-Mom 2055750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: you know if she would be ok with a style like that, I wonder if she would also be willing to wear a See Kai run mary jane. Those are pretty supportive too. The big girl styles look a little more like ballet flats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-ballet-flats-for-preschool#post-2055734 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:57:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2055734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Thanks! They have some good looking ones! </p> <p><a href="http://www.6pm.com/naturino-8065-fa14-toddler-little-kid-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/naturino-8065-fa14-toddler-little-kid-black</a> </p> [attach=1506/15/njb8k1.600x337.Screen-Shot-2015-02-05-at-12.56.57-PM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-ballet-flats-for-preschool#post-2055711 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:42:28 +0000 T-Mom 2055711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I see. Well the brand I have heard is very supportive is Naturino. But it tends to be very pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-ballet-flats-for-preschool#post-2055693 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:36:46 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2055693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I tried something similar to that from Target and she HATES them. </p> <p>@MrsKoala: Do you know how supportive something like this is? I mean it looks a bit better than the $15 Gap ballet flats but still not a ton of support. Am I overthinking this? Isn't it bad for her feet to be in unsuportive shoes all day? If she had her way she would wear the lovely pair of pump high heels every day. </p> <p><a href="http://www.6pm.com/clarks-kids-dance-glam-little-kid-big-kid-silver-synthetic" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/clarks-kids-dance-glam-little-kid-big-kid-silver-synthetic</a> </p> [attach=1506/15/njb7la.600x353.Screen-Shot-2015-02-05-at-12.34.48-PM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-ballet-flats-for-preschool#post-2055682 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:31:48 +0000 MrsKoala 2055682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you looked at Clarks shoes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-ballet-flats-for-preschool#post-2055665 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:22:02 +0000 T-Mom 2055665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Do you think she would like a sparkly mary jane sneaker? My DD also loved wearing flats but she was also really happy to wear this style. We have had like four pairs already. <a href="http://www.6pm.com/cienta-kids-shoes-56013-infant-toddler-youth-light-pink" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/cienta-kids-shoes-56013-infant-toddler-youth-light-pink</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supportive-ballet-flats-for-preschool#post-2055569 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:40:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2055569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: As long as it was "pretty" and "dressy" I think she would be ok.

She loves dressing up and doesn't always want to wear her tennis shoes. But all the ballet flat styles I have found have NO support. Any suggestions for brands to look for? </p>
