Boys fashion school shoes help!

Hi, my son (age 14 going into Y10) has had the mick taken out of him for wearing (smart) comfortable normal school shoes last year. It seems all the boys have been wearing long clown pointy shoes. He doesn't really like the clown pointy shoes but also wants to try and fit in. Bless him. We just spent an hour in a shoe shop that sticks Clarks, ricosta, geox etc but because he's size 10 - most of the kids more fashionable clown pointy shoes don't fit and the men's are too wide.

My question is what style have your fashionable sons gone for this year? Is there a particular brand? I don't mind spending money.

I'm hoping there's a new cool shoe that's also good for the feet (like kickers or dms back in the day). He walks quite a distance every day and I'm keen for him to not squash his feet into an ill-fitting shoe.

My son is the same age and year and has always worn kickers. Most of the other boys wear the same.

@namechangex1 thank you. Would you mind sending me a link to the ones they wear?
Omg I used to love my kickers when I was his age lol.

my son is only a size 6 so you might need to look at the adult ones maybe? Yes I loved my kickers too but they all seem to be wearing them again and are good in the winter.
