Bomb proof school shoes?

[BerryMenthol]

I have a 6 yo DS who destroys shoes... Clarks, M&S .... not lasted.... can anyone recommend shoes that last more than a couple of days before they look atrocious?

Geox savage last reasonably well. They’re quite chunky but in a sporty way, if that makes sense.

Geox savage. Have tried others only to be disappointed and go back and replace with yet more Geox Savage!

Doctor Martens.

Was coming here to say this - bought some for seriously hard on shoes DS (7) in October to replace the shoes he’d trashed in six weeks, and they look nearly as good as new. Pricey but worth every penny!

We went through 4 pairs of shoes Sept - Dec. I got Kickers for him in Jan and they have faired really well, will defo last until summer.

Geox. My DS is so hard on shoes and these are the first ever he has grown out of rather than trashed!

We had Geox for ds1 all through primary too - other shoes never lasted longer than a few weeks but Geox lasted til outgrown, though they'd look shabby by then they'd be in tact.

Dr martens. DD has the Mary Jane type patent ones and they've been amazing. She'd walked through the soles of three pairs of Clarke's/m&s type ones last year and the docs are still looking amazing (and only slightly scuffed)

Doc martens, if they do smaller sizes?

Yup, doc martens. Dd 14 has just had hers replaced after 2 and a half years! 10 year old Dss lasted a year.l which is about 9 months longer than every other pair he’s ever had.

The problem with Dr Martens & Kickers is that he still struggles with laces .... how do the velcro ones fare?

Try treads, they have a 1 year guarantee. My Ds has just had his replacement pair and they were 11 months old! My other DS who has DCD so is forever destroying shoes grew out of his before they were even near destroyed.

Treads. DS is really hard in shoes and his Treads are still looking great. I saw them advertised on Facebook and was sceptical but I have been pleasantly surprised.

Whilst they are young then Geox are great but once they are older Dr Martens are the best option.

Another recommendation for treads. My year 9 DS has destroyed every other pair of school shoes from clarks to asda. I bought Treads in September and they are still immaculate.

My 8 year old who destroys ever pair of shoes within weeks, has so far has 1.5 terms out of some Start Rite Extreme PRIs.

They honestly still look almost new. And he is hard on shoes.

Came on to say Treads but I see I've been beaten to it. DS has had his since September and they still look like new. I'm really really pleased with them.

DS has never ever ever worn through them, they are light, they do a slim and wide fit - amazing things
