Was gob-smacked to be told by DDs reception teacher that summer shoes must be closed of toe and flexible of sole. Latter sensible of course and former due to 'health and safety' . Swallowed my usual fogeyish rant about not knowing how we survived our childhood, what with the reckless wearing of open-toed sandals etc etc.... SO do they basically just wear their hefty black winter shoes for summer too or is there something a bit lighter that doesn't break the rules?
