Where to buy school shoes for a teen?

I'm just wondering if anyone has any better ideas than Clarks? Not led by my DD - she doesn't care. But they have very few styles in her size. I got her black patent Mary Jane's last year. I think by Easter 1 of the soles was flapping off! Slip ons are no good and she needs something hard wearing. I thought last years were a good choice but she stull destroyed them!

I always found Next kids shoes too narrow for my kids. But, to be fair, she'd be in adult sizes now. I suppose that's where I'm falling down - thinking she needs kids shoes!

I might try and look in Schuh too. Any brands that are good? Or to avoid!

Are her feet still growing? If not, DMs! I got DD some last year and they still look immaculate a year on and worth the extra £££.
