How the bleedin 'eck do you identify your kid's shoes? I've just bought 3 pairs of school shoes and there is nowhere to write a name anywhere on them.

So what do you do? ds1 lost a pair of school shoes and a pair of trainers last year.

Oooh another thread! Stick a cash's one on with sellotape or order stickers - these stay on longer. Stick either inside at the heel.

Ah right, yes I like the idea of those. Are they a bit naff though if you are at Upper school?

I keep telling them they are big and ugly enough to not to lose their shoes now but do they listen.......?

QE - my ds2 didn't lose his shoes but he did come home in one of someone elses. Same shoe but 3 sizes bigger .At least his was too big, the poor lad who walked his size 8 foot home in ds's size 5 must have been in agony lol!

QueenEagle · 03/09/2006 22:18

LOL!!! Yes ds2 has come home in someone elses trousers once. I think I can recall also a time when he came home in the wrong shoes too!!!

industrial stapler and a name tag?

Tommy · 03/09/2006 22:34

get some from easy2name (should be a link amd discount on MN) They do sticky labels and clear labels that go over the top of them to keep them in the shoes. DS1 used the same labels for a year (2 different pairs aof shoes - I took them out of his old ones). Really good.

naswm · 03/09/2006 22:34
