Just in the middle of ordering dd1's uniform online (she starts in January but we are overseas so need to get it sent out) and need gym shoes. I am assuming plimsolls?

Thanks!

Bump? Anyone? I don't want to order the wrong shoes....

I'd assume so too. 'gym' implies indoors use.

If she is primary age I imagine they are plimsolls. (where I am in the Midlands we call them "pumps")

Black canvas type shoes, usually velcro fastening, cost around £3. That's what I would get.

Plimsolls/gym shoes/sandshoes/daps - all the same thing... try to get the velcro ones not the elastic ones as when feet grow it can be a bit of a springloaded comedy fest getting the elasticated ones on!
