DD needs new black shoes. Preferably lace-up and leather. My usual go to shops are failing me. Where are your teen DD's shoes from and what are they like?

Shoes must be formal shoes and not black leather trainers or plimsols.

Dd1 (15) has kickers from Sole Trader.

No lace ups? That's the oddest rule I've ever seen. Especially as most kids walk to school!

Have you looked in sports direct? No idea what girls school shoes are like but I get ds from there and they are a reasonable price.

Black patent Doc Marten lace ups for DD14

@Pipandmum
Laced shoes not allowed? How peculiar. What's the reasoning there?
DD wears kickers. They're ok. Not brill. She wanted Airforce Nike in black but they'll be banned on the first day.

My daughter gets hers from primark

Lace ups aren’t allowed and I get ballet style at Tesco or wherever.
