I know I’m getting ahead of myself as schools aren’t open yet etc but my DS starts primary school in September (hopefully) so I’m trying to find suitable / best school shoes which his insoles will fit nicely, comfortably into... anyone have any experience or recommendations? He needs to wear insoles 24/7 right now. Thanks for reading Flowers

I know it costs bit more than average but maybe consider Clark's shoes. A bit tricky at the mo with shops shut but they may be able to help when things do reopen getting the right fit.
Are the orthotics bulky. As your son needs them, school will need to be flexible with the uniform policy as a 'reasonable adjustment'.

Yeah I’m really hoping that the shops open before schools, they’ll have to won’t they?! It’s so much harder to see what they’re properly like online.
I’ve added a pic of what they’re like, he’s got to wear them because his arch isn’t forming as much as it should and these help with balance and getting him off his toes. We got his EHCP finalised days before lockdown so I’m sure school will be ok 🤞
