I ordered those ones from ebay. They're girl's school shoes and they're not too bad also I bought some cargo pants for wearing them with black socks and also with flat women's penny loafers too because they're more cheaper.longallsboy said:I was suggested that too by several people I know who are moms. In a few cases, their older children or teen kids wore them, but I'm just not interested in Doc Martens at all, I don't like the fact the name is on the leather of the shoe, and I don't like that it has a lug sole either. I definitely want a T strap shoe with a flatter type of sole, like one intended for children. There are actually quite a few companies in Spain that make adorable T strap shoes for children, but most of them stop at size 38 or the largest, by size 41. Of course, money does talk so maybe if I offer thousands of dollars.... I do wish my foot was even a little bit smaller. It sucks. As for America, there used to be about 20 companies making strap shoes for children in the late 1990s and now there are only 2 left (and one of them makes their shoes in Vietnam now although their office is still in the United States, in Pennsylvania). It's hard to find T strap shoes in America nowadays even if you are an actual child. In the West Coast, T strap shoes have become literally almost non-existent, like gone the way of the dodo, even for girls. Part of the reason for that is people tend to be quite casual in the Western USA and have been even more casual since the damned COVID 19 (aka the gift that keeps giving that is driving me crazy). You see boys wearing T strap shoes in South like Alabama with their long-alls and jon jons. Also common in Georgia and South Carolina and Tennessee.
I have always wondered why even in Spain that they are called children's shoes. What I mean by that is, when a company says that they are going to make "children's shoes", even if they say they are going to make children's shoes ONLY, they should make it in every size that a child might be able to wear. Like with a 12 year old, why should one child who is 12, and say 5 feet 2 inches and wears a shoe size of 36 or 37 be able to wear an adorable T strap shoe, whereas another child who is also 12 years old, who is 5 feet 11 inches and wears a size 40 won't be able to? That doesn't sound fair. Children's shoes should be built to accommodate ALL children's sizes. And if you think that a 12 year old can't be 5 feet 10 inches, you are crazy. I went to a July 4th parade last year and I saw a band marching down the street in the parade that was from a middle school and these were 12-13 year olds and some of them looked taller than me, and I'm almost 6 feet tall! I have a friend who is 20 years old now, but when he was even 13, he was as tall as me almost!! And then how about adult ladies who wear smaller sizes. My mom is 5 feet 4 inches and wears a size 7 ladies (37 European). If she wanted to, she could easily wear what I want to wear (of course, she wouldn't....my mom is not overly fond of people who don't act their age or dress their age -- and it doesn't matter even if they are developmentally disabled with Autism like I am. Sometimes I wonder if she would be more understanding of me if I had Down Syndrome or maybe was a proportional pituitary dwarf. I think having Autism is one of most misunderstood disorders). There are normal adult ladies wearing these Spanish children's T strap shoes (and for all I know, probably some adult males who have smaller feet). I act the youngest in my family, but I'll tell you I'm the TALLEST person out of 25 people that are extended family (not just my parents and brother, but aunts, uncles, cousins, etc). Most people of Asian American background don't end up being that tall at all. My maternal grandmother was only 5 feet tall, my maternal grandfather was 4 feet 11 inches tall. I act the most like a preschooler and I had to be the oldest.
