ARGGHHHHH!! Feel a bit better now lol!!
I always knew finding school shoes for DS who starts reception in september would be a nightmare as he has huge feet and finding normal shoes is bad enough but after yesterday I think its going to be nearly impossible.
DS is 4.4 and has a 12.5 size feet. I have no idea what width he is because he is off the scale in clarks so obviously beyond an H fitting. After realising over 2 years ago that his feet were rather wide (to say the least lol!)we have been buying him Geox shoes which have been fabulous. Not that much more expensive than Clarks etc and last for ages,actually fit and look great as well. So problem solved...until now!
I cannot find any boys Geox school shoes anywhere...they need to be black and they need to be velcro. I went into clarks today to see on the off chance if any of the shoes fitted him-we were in there over an hour and literally none of the shoes would go on his feet. Well actually one pair would with the assistant basically forcing his foot into it (Grrr!) which he is obviously not going to be able to do by himself.
We've got no other independent shoe shops here and after yesterday DS is none too keen on trying loads of shoes on so thought Id look on line to see what I could fine and tbh haven't had much luck.
have found some ok ish start rite ones which go up to an H fitting but Im assuming they are going to be pretty much like the clarks ones??
So if anyone could point me in the direction of some good quality boys school shoes Id be very happy!!
As I said they need to be Black leather,velcro and ideally have a rubber bit on the front (if that makes sense?) but can live without that!
Knowing my luck I'll find some and then his feet will grow and then they won't fit come september!!
