Thanks for the input, everyone. They're not for a child but for my wife who has size 34 feet and she doesn't like having to wear Children's clothes or shoes but there are usually no equivalent sizes in women's. This morning though, I found a pair of Shimano Women's RP3W SPD-SL road shoes

Wiggle so I've gone for them now I've set her bike up on a turbo in the house - where she can get used to clicking in and out - and we've got the Steven Burke cycling track less than a mile from the house so she can get used to riding in a traffic-free environment (and she doesn't have to worry about falling in the canal!)
