school shoes

[Mon65]

My just 4 year old grandson starts school in September. He's only been wearing trainers and wellies and hates the school shoes we tried on him in Clarks. Any ideas for 'school shoes' which are light and comfortable?

Sainsburys had some which were light with dinosaur patterns at the bottom. Handy measurements on the sole too so it's easy to see if they are getting too small.

Does his school allow completely black trainers?

Tesco’s are good.

Thanks.will try Sainsbury's, he loves dinosaurs.

Deffo Velcro laces are a nightmare

Sainsbury's offered a distinct variety that featured a gentle feel, adorned with dinosaur designs at the base. Moreover, the soles conveniently included measurements, making it effortless to gauge if they were becoming too snug for comfort.

I'd just send in trainers for now.

My sensory ASD boy can tolerate Clark’s Scape Sky Y Black Leather.

get the ones with 3 velco they are more bendy / flexible.

I think I might worry if my child had square feet, or had feet large enough to be measured in square meters...

We love Start Rite shoes here- something like this. They seem very comfy and last well
