Clothing/shpes unnecessary but teenager grown out of shoes. Where to buy?

[Sheslikethewind007]

I've seen loads of posts about not buying anything online etc...and I would feel bad as postal services etc are put in danger, strain etc..But my 13 year old sons feet have grown suddenly and fast , he only had one pair of shoes out of school and they dont fit him at all, dh too small for him too!! Will I be frowned upon by the local postman if I order some online? He obviously needs shoes, for in the garden and we would like to go for a daily walk.

Just to update you I've bought my son some shoes today online and some shorts for good measure, you'll be pleased to know he wont be walking around with the ends cut off his old pair or some supermarket flip flops. :-)

DD is getting DS's hand-me-downs, but DS is still too small for hand-me-downs from me/DH! 🤣 He'll have short trousers, no problem, but not short shoes! Order some shoes.

Apologies for the cross-post! Hope everything fits and you all stay healthy and well. (Same for everyone, really. )

Buy them online and maybe a handful of essentials like one or two tops a pair of bottoms and some underwear in the next clothing size up at the same time just in case of growth spurt. There’s a difference between buying a bunch of clothes because you feel like having new ones and buying some clothes your child needs because they’ve grown.
