Well, maybe it has something to do with the fact you are making her wear shoes with pink and purple flowers on them. Oh, the horror. The baltspawns' feminist grandmother would never approve. And since she buys most of the baltspawns' clothes, we go with that. Of course, she's my problem, not yours, so YMMV.
The baltspawn did not like their shoes at first either. It took a couple of days to get used to them at all, and a couple of months before they began to connect putting on shoes with going outside and therefore a good thing.
One piece of advice: tempting though it may be, stay away from shoes with Velcro closures at this age. You may get away with them for this pair, but by the time she's the next size up, she will have figured out how to undo the Velcro and fling the shoes off. Then at some point they stop messing with them and its okay again. But stores really shouldn't sell size fives and five 1/2s in Velcro at all.
