Fashion?

I don't have a problem with them - just wondering why suddenly 4 of my girls are sporting them.

Makes me think of the Doc Martins the punks and goths wear.

My almost-14-yr-old daughter's been wearing a pair exactly like that for about the last year. She's grown out of them now and wants new ones. Will someone tell these kids to please stop growing?

My 16 year old has finally been in the same size shoes for almost 2 years. It stops soon.

Then it starts again when you turn 40...

Or if you have a kid.

I heard Converse was back 'in'. I think I still have my pair from when I was in high school.

You can tell her, "get a job (babysitting/yardwork) and pay for them yourself". It doesn't stop them growing but it teaches them a lot of things and helps your wallet too.
