DTs (age 7) and DD (age 12) will need more new school shoes after half term as the DTs have both ripped the fronts of the last ones and water was getting in so they were coming home with wet socks and DD has ripped the backs off hers! The last pairs were bought before they went back to school in September and they cost around £25 each. I don't buy cheap crap shoes either, they are from M&S, Next of BHS as I have given up on buying Clarks because they don't last any longer than cheaper pairs.
I have never known them to make their shoes last for more than half a term and every school holiday they need new ones. Last year DT2 got a hole in sole of his M&S shoes after 3 weeks and his teacher had to send a note home pointing out his feet were getting wet because I did'nt realise - was mortified .
Are my kids just completely crap at looking after their shoes or is this normal?? Can anyone suggest shoes built like tanks that don't cost too much!!
