My daughter is due to start secondary school in September - big step and lots of growing up I expect! Confused

I have been recently thinking about school uniform and was a little stumped with the shoes. She is currently wearing Mary Jayne style clarks shoes which have been fine but we both agree are a bit young looking.

What type of shoes do girls wear at secondary school? She will have to do a lot of walking. Any help greatly appreciated Smile

You cant go wrong with Kickers. They are ugly but apparently really cool and all the boys and girls wear them, and most importantly, they lasted the whole year. 50 quid well spent!

My y9 daughter (going into Y10) wears Clarks - ballet style pumps but with a strap across (the type without a strap are banned)

Depends on the school! And the amount of walking. Would her current shoes do for the first few weeks in September. Then she could see what styles are popular, and get new shoes then?

My daughters (and most other girls at their secondary) wear kickers. I did phone up and check they were ok with the school first though as they look like boots to me, but apparently they are shoes and therefore acceptable.
