children's trainers that wear well?

[IAmBooyhoo]

ds goes through trainers in 2 months. i buy the £12 type in heatons, but it's a false economy i think. where can i get durable trainers at not to big a cost?

how long should a pair of trainers last for everyday wear? ds is 6.

Converse. I buy my lot a pair each every spring for about £21 a pair - and they grow out of them rather than trash them.

have a look

thanks pictish. for soem reason i had always though converse were really £££ but they aren't. should be able to sort him something out of that selection.

I've found the Osaga ones in Brantano stand up quite well to 8yo ds. They are usually around £15-16 and he probably wears out two pairs a year. He has two pairs at the moment, as he really wanted a pair of high tops as well, so he had them on condition that they were not used for bike riding or scooting!
