Just spent a fortune of shoes!

[Blandmum]

The kids both needed new school shoes and trainers at the same time!

£100 down. How the hell do people cope if they have more than two kids????

dunno. dd1 wears a size 6D, so we end up spending about £40 on each pair of shoes. needless to say, she only has 2!

These were your bog standard black school shoes from clarks and fitted trainers (also clarks). Mine also have very few shoes, the two new pairs and cheep unfitted pair of trainers, wellies and sandels in the summer.

Costs a flipping fortune!

she has cheapo wellies, too, and sandals, but normal shoes, well, we have to get either striderite or kickers. they're about the only ones who make shoes that narrow - her right heels is even narrower, so she needs inserts as well.

she also overpronates, so it's likely she'll need arch supports as well.

paybacks are hell - she has MY feet!

Tell me about it. I try to do one at a time!!!
Its expensive as they need indoor and out door trainers for school plus shoes!! so thats 9 pairs for the older ones!
I use clarks outlet store as much as pos!

my boys both need shoes, my girl needs shoes and trainers

my eldest is currently wearing his work boots to school

my youngest lad is wearing trainers to school - with a note which explained he left hs shoes in hastings whilst visiting a relative and i am skint until end of jan.

my girl is wearing my boots, and has stretched them with her big feet.

she is currently panicking becuase its pe on tuesday and she has no trainers.

well theres fuck all i can do, am skint and working in london on mon and tue

so she will have to just miss PE

I have some completely black adidas 3 stripe trainers really good condition just need laces size 4 if you want them Not sure if they are trendy now but would be really good for PE Let me know xx

As ever there was a sale, and as ever none of the kids shoes were in the sale!!!

Custy, real pain in the arse

And I don't have any trainers bigger than a size one

virtually new I should have said worn once indoors!

what size are they all custy.
I have some white trainers with pail blue stripes about to go to charity. DD says they dont fit. Not sure they have been worn!!

la gear size 6

oh how wonderful you all are - i was just having a whinge, sorry.

shes an adult size 7 ( 12 years old!) but thanky ou anyway for your thoughts very much appreciated

I'm trying to think if I've got any size 7 trainers that I don't use lurking about...

these any good custy?

I know nothing about trainer trends so these may be awful but...

Bummer - link not worked. Go into sales, womens, sports, and then sort by price.

Luckily I managed to get ds schools shoes in Clark Sale and also dd shoes from there too! At summer time sale I picked up ds 2pairs of trainers for 5pound each, which will do him this summer, I'm usually quite good at judging their sizes as they have always been same width fitting!

The trainers are quite big 6's I think. Yes DD is only 13 and grown out of them! I'm only a 5!!!
I could send them if you like..up to you!

Trainers are £5 in Tescos...

thanks for the offer mandy - but she will wear a pair of mine - i will get some on wednesday. very much appreciated though xxx
