I've struggled with the feet of tights being far too big for Miss Oi, but last year I discovered John Lewis tights which didn't have defined 'feet' (i.e. they had a reinforced toe but no 'heel', so they'd fit any sized foot - does that make sense?). Anyway, I went there to buy some 3-4 yr tights (she's nearly 3 and quite tall for her age, I've been told) - imagine my horror when I saw heels on these tights!! It means that the heel comes quite far up her leg, and the toe is very wide as well so there's a load of extra material.


So, the point of this ridiculously rambling post is - does anyone know where you can get non-heeled tights for a 3 year old?


Thanking you.

H&m have heels I think. Mothercare but they are only 50% cotton so don't feel very nice. My little girl has small feel too but also short legs so always wears a smaller size. I think Gap and Jo Jo do the best tights for little girls but may not work for those with long legs!
Haha, I have this problem with my daughter too although her feet aren't small?! She's nearly 4 and size 8.5 that's normal isn't it? Lol. Anyway she's always worn John Lewis tights, and yes now at this age they are heeled, I hear your woes but we just wear them with the heel slightly popping over her shoes - fashionnnnn. She mostly lives in wellies anyway so it's not so bad but I feel your frustration. Let me know how you get on..

Gap and JoJo both have shaped feet, boo. Also, JoJo are a bit steep aren't they - ?8 for ONE pair of tights??? Yikes.


I need to go to Hennes (sorry, I'm old, I just can't call it H&M) anyway so will check out their tights. I just think it must be so uncomfortable to have a load of extra material bunched up in your shoes.


I don't think 8.5 at nearly 4 is abnormal, is it? I think my niece is the same, though she's very tall, she's been in 4-5 clothes for ages. Miss Oi is 6.5 at nearly 3, if it wasn't for this tights issue I don't think I would know if her feet were small or not!

ah, yes, I've just been looking at M&S and all theirs look shape-free - what's the quality like, reviews online seemed a bit hit and miss? The patterns look great, I love a gaudy tight. The H&M ones that are shape-free are all plain. I bought some Primark ones when she was a baby, they were a bit thin I thought.

    • You may have more success posting on ED facebook….personally, not a fan  of social media but where I have moved to in the country, this seems to be the main way  of communication. A suggestion for you - well a couple actually - there is a cafe at the edge if Telegraph Hill which might be worth a shot with a pizza stand attached - from memory think it is called White Rabbit or something like that. Cafe has odd evenings when they have music  as well. Not sure if you are to young but give them a go. Get some leaflets/cards done and pop through letterbox or on car windscreen in local area offering your services to clean cars… sure you have done this already. Wish you all the best.    
    • Thank you so much for this - really appreciate it.
