THE COOL
SCHOOL SHOES

These multi-tasking scuff-resistant leather trainers for boys will help you feel one step closer to getting organised for next term, says kidswear editor Maggie Davis

Choosing school shoes often leads to a battle of wills – kids are likely to push for the latest fad while we parents generally prefer classic, hard-wearing styles that adhere to school rules. These handsome leather trainers (available for younger boys in sizes 8-1 and for older boys in sizes 13-8) are the compromise – smart enough to work as his main school shoes, they’re sturdy enough to kick a football around the playground thanks to rubber scuff-resistant toes and grip soles. Helpfully, they also feature riptape fastenings so they’re quick and easy to put on. As any parent of school-age kids knows, every second saved in the morning mayhem is a minor triumph.
