Mine have had theirs since September - start rite.

Girls who like to climb walls and play football.

Black geox savage here too. We're on our fourth pair (due to foot growth). They've lasted over a year before. Also Geox sizing is really reliable so you can just buy the next size up on Amazon which makes it a bit cheaper.

My girls all have dms at the moment, bought in the sale with student discount .there returns is really good if you have a shop local to you, we’ve had the odd mishap and they’ve swapped them no problem.

We’ve found Clark’s rubbish especially the girls shoes the ones in the boy section did seem to last a bit longer with the rubber bumper bay. Startrite are better but we have a factory shop near us. The supermarket brands where similar to Clark’s durability wise.

Third pair. One outgrown, one ripped on the side due to foot getting caught in bike chain when falling over with a bike. All Primigi, they usually last forever, the bike accident was unusual (glad it was the shoe, not the foot!)

Only in reception but got m&s and they're going strong still, very happy with them and will buy m&s again when they're outgrown.

Both my boys need new shoes this half term, both for the rubber coming away from the leather around the toe. They are Startrite and Ricosta so good brands. I think some children just use their shoes up more completely than others. I've seen some Geox ones that look likely contenders this time. We shall see.

DS has got startrite rhino shoes and they still look very smart. He plays football on the astro turf every day so they are well used. They've got a big toe bumper on the front which keeps them looking smart.

Unfortunately he's just outgrown them so needs a new pair but last year they lasted him all year.
