If your daughter is old enough to purchase $316 shoes, she is old enough to pay for them. She also sounds old enough to be working in some capacity. While school clothing and supplies tend to be expensive, your daughter should be contributing to paying for them.
Speaking as a single mum myself, we tend to become a bit indulgent to the children to make up for not having a dad in their life. Don't fall in this trap, hun. Both your daughter's self esteem and your budget will profit from your daughter's contributions to the family living expenses.
All the best to you, hun!
