Her feet are probably better off being as close to the barefoot as possible than wearing cheap non supportive shoes as her first pair.

Hi CosmoBlue,
I understand your predicament, you want to make sure your little one has support but you shouldn't have to compromise your beliefs. I have a vegan friend who strugges with footwear often. I know that she loves zappos.com because there is actually a vegan section...
Here is a link to all the little girl toddler/infant vegan shoes. There are some great little converses and reebock sneakers that use NO LEATHER OR ANIMAL PRODUCTS. They would be supportive, comfortable and lightweight for your little DS. There is also another link included that I found with some more cute vegan baby wear. I hope I could help a little.

I completely know what you mean. I have had such problems finding shoes for my little one too. The one place that I have had some success is Baby Gap, believe it or not. Some of their tennis shoes are soft and not all leather. Maybe try there, otherwise sock feet or bare feet seem better than shoes that don't fit all too great!

I'm not sure this is going to help you with DD right now, but something you may want to keep in mind for the future or for yourself. Website: http://www.planetshoes.com/

They sell ecologically friendly shoes and there are several brands listed.
