DD14 wants what is "in" but doesn't always like what is in. She hates sock shoes and does not want laces AND they need to be good for camp. I am at a loss, any ideas? links would be helpful (amazon....) TIA

Go on a Jewish shoe store website. Let her choose something she likes. Anything on the website will be reasonably in style. If you don't want to spend that amount of money, choose one you like and then try to find it on Amazon or secular websites.

Interesting... I think part of the problem is that I am not a good shopper and we are oot so we can't just go to the store. She will be in camp with "in town" girls and wants to have what they have. Thanks for the help

Sounds like she is developing a mind of her own.

I am trying exactly what you said. I have to order from amazon or something like that since I need to be able to try a bunch of shoes with easy return. But as I said, I am a horrible shopper. can keds or toms slip ons work...or am I totally off?
If you can post amazon links of what can work, that would be the best starting point for us.

Link a shoe she liked on one of those sites and then I can try to find a cheaper alternative. Is there a reason you can't order straight from the website? I don't remember if these sites ship or not.

I'm not sure what type of sneakers she is looking for, but sock sneakers are still popular as an everyday shoe. The frum brands have more details on the shoe, but if you put sock sneakers into amazon search, you will find plenty of options.

'In towners" are not really wearing toms anymore.

Toms are really out. Any white laces sneaker would be ok. If you don’t want to spend on Vejas you can do a cheaper option like adidas

Vans....great...that's where we will start. They look similar to the keds, but probably a trendier brand. any color or just white?
