just spent £38 on Geox trainers for dd - am I mad?

[tonton]

DH says I should return them and get some from Clarks for a tenner less.

Any one have any experince of Geox kids trainers? Worth the extra dosh?

They are excellent but I only ever buy them in a sale as they are usually a second pair of shoes. ds has had several pairs.

Geox are fab. I have plain black ones for DS school shoes. They still look brand new after 3 months of wear. By now a pair of clarks shoes would be completely scuffed and requring constant polishing. I just wipe the geox over with a damp cloth and they are as good as new!

My ds has a pair of geox for his out of school wear! They are fab, he has had them now for 3 months and they still look brand new, i don't even wash them. Even the soles don't share any signs of wear and not even dirt. I have to say i am very amazed at them, kowing how hard my ds is on shoes. Will def buy again.

Keep them, tell dh it will cost you more in travel to take them back and then to go to clarks.

I payed £38 for dd's winter boots from clarks, i didn't tell dh because he would go mad.

Geox are unquestionably far better quality than anything you can get at Clarks. They last and last and last. They look far nicer too.

oh fab - I feel much better now!

And i have to agree that they look nicer than clarks. Even though they are your usual girly pink trainers with metallic stipes. So hardly hright of design sophistication!
