Kids' Scuff Resistant Leather Cross Bar School Shoes

Stylish, classic, lovely shoes that seems to be well made and great value. Sadly it's pretty much impossible to get the strap through the buckle. You really have to force it through. There's no way, even on the mornings where things aren't chaos, that my daughter (or even my partner) could get these done up. Such a shame because they are lovely. Ended up getting others from M&S that we liked less :(

I gave in and bought these because Clarks don't sell a patent shoe with a buckle in my daughter's size, so thought I'd be safe with Marks for quality etc. These cost me £24 and my daughter got about 2 months out of them before the buckle broke and the patent started coming off. Last time I ever buy school shoes from Marks. Stick with Clarks !!!!

These are lovely shoes and my daughter picked them for school. However, the buckle is so difficult to fasten. The strap can hardly get through the flower shaped and very difficult for my daughter to unfasten and fasten at school. Would have been better with a velcro strap or a bigger buckle.

This is the second pair of school shoes from Marks and Spencer's that have not lasted longer than a week. On receiving these shoes via internet, the stitching on the T-bar was already frayed. Over the course of two days they looked worn and shabby, the leather upper creased and more stitching became frayed. Returned on day 3. Definitely not worth the money

My daughter loves these shoes. The cut out pattern allows more air into the shoe, perfect for the warmer months. Very pretty and fit her well BUT it is extremely difficult to feed the strap through the buckle. Two things would improve this - 1) strengthen the tip of the strap to make it firmer and therefore easier to feed through the buckle, and 2) make the pretty flower shaped buckle larger.

bought for my nine year old for school ,looks lovely on only problem is the buckle when fastening little bit stiff but maybe because new.overall nice shoe and looks very smart

Bought these for my 6 year old daughter. I love these shoes, really practical, they haven't scuffed at all and still look brand new. They are very pretty and delicate, my daughter says they are very comfortable. These shoes are also a lot cheaper than other brand shoes, great value for the money. Highly recommended.
