School Uniform - has anyone seen ...

[Surfermum]

Plain red t-shirts, not polo shirts.

Black shorts (PE).

Who sells plimsoles? Do Woolies?

Cant help on the tshirts, but mothercare had some black shorts and woolies sell pumps very cheap about £1.50 I think i paid.

Excellent, thank you. We have both of those in Town.

I don't fancy traipsing round all the shops. Asda had the polos but not plain ones.

t'shirts

Says they do red in the drop down box.

shorts

thanks ! pity the next ones have to put a pesky shield thing on them though !

MaryAnn are you on the right thread ?

Thanks Nutty.

no I wasn't !!!

You will get plimsoles in most shoe shops....woolies, shoeZone, clarkes, brantano.....

They all have a very slightly different shape and fit though. We trapsed around about 6 shops to find ones that properly fit DTDs as they have very long narrow feet and even narrower ankles. It can be worth shopping aroubd.

Thanks for that tip. DD has very wide feet, so that's helpful to know. I will make sure I take her with me.

annoyingly, and you probably won't forgive me for saying this, but I found the Clarks plimsolls the best for non standard feet.

So if you are having to do school shoes there, you can get the plimsolls at the same time.

...and a shop that fits one term might not fit for the next. It is a right PITA for such a simple, basic part of school uniform. But I do like them to fit properly as they were them all day on teh classroom so spend more time in them than their school shoes

Yeah but at 3 times the price. We have always been fine - it can just take a bit of shopping. They do apprently do half sizes though and I thought we were going to have to resort to them because of that last time.

We go to a Startrite independent. I expect he'll do them.

I wanted red t shirts for a dance show and couldn't get cheap ones. Had to resort to polo shirts instead. In fact, Anyone want any worn once red or blue polo shirts, variety of sizes age 6 - 10!!!!!!!
