Scooter-boy DS (3) has shredded the front of two pairs of shoes since July - where can I buy shoes with particularly hardwearing TOES?

Do they do steelcaps for three year olds? It's getting beyond a joke. Perfectly good shoes with gaping holes in the toes. HELP!!!!

Timberland do boots in tiny sizes. But no steelcaps, but perhaps you could attach tap pads for tap shoes so he hears the noise and stops what he's doing?

Geox do hard wearing shoes. My ds could never wear them out and that's saying something.

We have EXACTLY the same problem with our Scooterboy!!
He had Ecco boots last winter and they survived pretty well but M&S trainers were shredded in 2 days and they refused to do anything as they said they were just for walking

Ricosta shoes are reinforced at the front, I use these shoes as my ds likes to scrape his feet on the floor when in the pram

(bit pricey but cheaper than replacing shoes
every week)

Another vote for Geox.

Thanks, everyone. Will check out these suggestions.

Try Ricosta shoes, they're excellent. Never had a pair wear out, even with my very destructive wear-em-out-wilf 11yo DD.
