Any advice where to get them (local or online)? Tried mothercare.com but they only start at size 6 (she is a 4.5 but i want them to last all winter so i imagine i'd buy a size 5). Tried John Barrett, but they also only start at 6. A friend went to Clarks on Rye Lane and said they don't have anything in... any other suggestions? By winter boot I mean a weatherproof (or as near as possible) calf/knee boot that is hopefully snug and warm too...

I'm pretty sure Clarks do them in smaller sizes unless things have changed. I think they have different styles up to a size 6. My daughter definitely had some in a 5 a few years ago. Check online, perhaps J Barnett don't stock them. You can order online then collect at a local store, I've done this at the Lewisham branch. Also try the ED Warehouse, they stock various brands as do Buff I'm Dulwich Village.
mine has 4.5 as well and I got him Timberland boots (ankle high with laces) size 5. they are fab, waterproof (goretex), very very light and are made for trekking, so he can climb up the little hill without falling down as the sole grips the ground very well. i don't think you'll find anything close to them in Clarks in terms of quality and performance. i was so impressed that i got my 4 year old daughter a pair as well, they run around in jeans in winter anyway, so it didn't bother me that they look boyish. would certainly recommend, i got both for about 20 pounds vs 50 pounds full price, amazon always has some on sale, just look for sizes, some models come small some don't. they also do higher knee versions and more girly ones if this is what you're after.

I took my daughter to Gently elephant today to get some shoes and was very impressed with the range of shoes and boots on offer. The owners were very attentive and gave good advice. They don't just do shoes but have lots of gorgeous clothes, books and toys - recommended!

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
