Oh man... Reminds me of the yellow faux crocodile patent leather shoes I had as a kid that both me and my parents absolutely ADORED. My parents handed all my clothes down to my younger cousin. They aren't big on keepsakes whatsoever, but they insisted that my SIL give the shoes back once my cousin grew out of them. Long story short, my cousin never even wore them and they got lost in the hand-me-down cue and were never seen again.

Palladium! They make a women's US 4.5, if not smaller. It will either say women's US 4.5 or 'big kids' 3 - they are equivalent.

PALLATROOPER HI-1
PAMPA CUFF WP LUX
PAMPA SHIELD WP+ LTH
PAMPA SPORT CUFF WPS
LEGION HIKER
are leather, no zipper, bifl-worthy boots by Palladium available in W US 4.5

I don't love the US site's search/filtering capabilities so I recommend contacting their support if you don't see what you want - and I know settling for something that says 'kids' on it is not ideal, but I hope this helps some.

those both definitely are painted with leaded paint and may have leaded glaze on the food contact surfaces. the PVC cord may also have used a lead-based catalyst to cure. some things you should not buy for life, such as consumer products produced before important safety regulations were instituted. buy it for life more like poisoning yourself for life.
