Stuff the clarks. Recommend me cheap but decent school shoes please!

I went into clarks to get my 5yo & 7yo feet measured yesterday. The shop was empty with 3 shoe fitters free but as I hadn't booked an appointment I was greeted rather miserably (didn't even give me chance to approach the desk before redirecting me!). After waiting 15 mins with my 2yo losing the plot I walked out, I'll be damned if I'm dropping £100 to be completely ignored when the store was empty.

Can anyone recommend any fairly decent alternative school shoes and what the sizes are like? (I think a 11.5 in a clarks seems to be smaller than an 11.5 elsewhere). One of my daughters has slightly wide feet and was in a g fitting last time. If they last even a couple of months I'll be happy.

I have purchased Clark's via the outlet this year. I normally purchase kickers which last the year for my son, only need replacing as he has outgrown. My daughter had patent Clark's last year which she managed to completely destroy! So trying leather this year as it can be polished.

Is there a Clarks outlet near you? Worth considering.
