Year 7 Shoe ideas

DD is starting secondary school in September. Any advice on best shoes. She likes the t-bar style but wondering if they're a bit babyish for secondary? Her friends wear brogues but she is not a fan

Doc marten t-bars! Secondary school teacher here and that's the main shoe of choice! Loads of options and can usually get them for £60 but they last forever

Lace up DMs. Get the kids ones if you can because the leather is so much softer than the adult styles.

Thank you all, some great shoes we'd not
come across

Kickers T-Bar here is the shoe to have right through from Y7-Y11

Check the school rules - ours bans DMs and Kickers

Definitely check the school rules - DD1's school recommends DMs or Kickers!

Our school doesn't allow DMs or kickers, boots, trainers.

Must be proper dress leather shoes.

hence, Brogues
