Best value school shoes?

[junglebookisthebest]

First time school mum here...
Uniform purchased just need shoes now - would love to know what other parents have found the best value for leather school shoes?

I wonder whether a pair of clarks or john lewis shoes at £40 plus is crazy because they will not last too long?
Is M&S a happy medium at about £30...
Or there is 1 pair of leather in Asda I like for £16 direct.asda.com/george/kids/shoes/girls-leather-school-shoes/GEM593072,default,pd.html
Whats the verdict on supermarkets leather offerings?

But I have seen that there are more fully covered shoes for girls - would this be a better bet for the upcoming winter even though they may be a bit overkill for starting in September like this www.marksandspencer.com/kids-freshfeet-coated-leather-sporty-school-trainers-with-silver-technology-and-scuff-resistant/p/p22449798?image=SD_04_T72_8625B_Y0_X_EC_0&color=BLACK&prevPage=plp

Would love to hear your thoughts...

Ds has had Clarks so far. HE has tiny odd feet which seem to grow very slowly....had one pair of shoes per year so far! Clarks not only fit him, but have lasted the whole year in good nick. APpreciate for others cheaper options may be fine, esp if you are whipping through sizes!

Anyone tried Deichmann shoes for kids. I was told by my sister they are also good and its leather and scruff prof.
