To ask how much you spend on School shoes/ trainers

[Koko83]

Just that really. In my case for a 7 year old? (Or thereabouts)

how much on average would you spend for school shoes and then also trainers? I have no idea but want to send money for my niece for shoes and trainers for school and don’t know what is realistic amount.

DD (7) can wear black trainers to school. Decathlon ones cost around £15 or I buy Nike or other branded on sale for no more than £25.

The bare minimum. As long they are soft and comfy. I am not into Clarks, they are made of iron

£30 for school shoes (usually in the sale or from m&s sale so prob nearer £50 full price)

About £50 on Clark’s shoes then about £40-£50 on trainers. Although it’s getting more expensive as they get bigger!!

6yo recently asked for dunks same as the teen. They were £70 ish.

For pe they get standard nike/ Adidas whatever is on offer around £30/35

School shoes last pair were £48 start rite

Sandals x 2 pairs they were around £12/15 a pair.

Crocs £35
Wellies £15 I guess , whatever m&s or next have that fit but average £15

Similar for the younger sibling

More expensive for the 2 teens they're eye watering expensive as adult sizes

I buy the adidas tensaur in black which work for both normal school days and PE days. They are around £30. I bought Clarks for my sons first pair of school shoes but he complained they were uncomfortable. I bought the Adidas and he much preferred them ,plus they lasted well.

They don't get changed for PE anymore, it's changed since Covid. So they're in their trainers two full days a week. Plus a full week in summer for 'sports week' at our school.

We do the same as most others by the looks of it, £50 on school shoes from Clarks and then £30-50 on trainers. DS has wide feet so can't buy supermarket trainers... in fact, any recommendations for wide fitting kids trainers would be welcome.

Shoes from Next £35 and £20 trainers

Yes we have the revolution ones for pe generally or similar in Adidas. My 6yo refuses velcro as its collects fluff etc so has to have lace up for pe and home use. Those are fab for pe as you say light to carry

Same

Get feet measured then go to shoe zone or a small locks shoe shop

Trainers for pe have to be black basic so around £12 from shoe zone

School shoes Price varies but Around £15/20 but buy each term as feet either grow a bit or so scuffed so get 3 pairs sept to July

I've Bought Clark's at £55 and after a week scuffed

So exp scuff as easily as cheap

Now if only could buy a non scuff shoe 😂💖

About £50-£60 for the school shoes. DC2 (6yo) is a heavy walker, scoots 1.5 miles to school three times a week and plays football as much as he can so they need to be hard wearing. We get them from an independent shop and this year's pair lasted almost the whole year.

Trainers I spent £33 in February and they are just about done in now. They are Adidas ones. Prior to that I think he had £20 Karrimor ones which again lasted about six months.

DS is 7 and I spend around £50 on school shoes and £40 ish on his school trainers.

Usually get some cheapy Adidas tenasaurs or Nike air max for around £30 for 7 year old.

5 year old is currently rocking some £20 Skechers.

£20-£30. Either black leather trainers like the tensaurs which are about £25 or I go to the clarks outlet and never paid more than £30. PE trainers I go to the nike outlet and ive picked a few pairs up for less than £15.

Honestly? About £10 - £15 each on Vinted. A lot of the time they’re almost new in the original box.
My eldest is eight and she’s very good with her clothes and shoes but my youngest is about to turn seven and she just wrecks shoes, constantly scuffing and dragging them, jumps in ever puddle etc.

Clarks shoes £48
Sports shop trainers about £35/40.

Find out where she usually has shoes and trainers from as supermarket shoes cost about £20 and trainers probably less.
However for us I've always had Clarks shoes they seem to last well.

Around £100 for both

My youngest wore trainers for primary, so about £20/30.

My eldest was at a different primary, so had Hush Puppies at about £40 as school shoes, and the cheapest trainers going for PE as that’s all they were used for.

Around £50 gor clarks school shoes & £50 for Nike trainers.

Clarke's shoes are around £40-50, or asda/Tesco shoes are around £12-16. Shoe zone trainers are around £15-18.
Clarkes shoes are more expensive, but they do last longer.

I used to go to Clarks but now I go to sports direct and buy plain black trainers for about £25.

Thanks all. I’ll transfer £100 and if there’s left over can put it in savings! X
