'Girls ' shoes are dainty and flowery while boys ' are sturdy and fun - where 's the choice ? ' She added : ' I want my children to have options - if they want to go down the pretty girl , traditional route and grow up to have a family then I 'll be proud . 'If they 'd prefer a career , no children or to play with toys that are n't supposed to be for girls then I 'm equally as proud . ' I do n't want them hampered by expectations that tell them how they should behave as girls - I want them to be able to do whatever they want to do and become strong women . ' A spokeswoman for Clarks said the company offered a wide range of children 's shoes to meet 'varied tastes and needs ' . She added : 'We are sorry to hear that our product range did n't suit Sophia 's personal tastes . '
