Freshfeet™ Scuff Resistant Leather Cupsole Shoes with Silver Technology (Older Boys)

My 11 year old grandson chose these shoes for the new 'big' school in September. I was pleased with them. Good style, sole, fit and price. My grandson was also very pleased. Now we find the school won't allow them as they are 'trainer type'. We will have to return them. No fault of M and S but please bear this in mind.

My grandson is very hard on shoes. This is the second pair of these shoes he has had. The first pair lasted him 6 months which is a miracle because he has had shoes at twice the price which have only lasted a couple of weeks.

I bought these for my 11 year old son for the start of term. The sole has disintegrated to the point that his feet are now soaking wet. They just don't stand up to playing football at playtime

After a few weeks the heel is worn through and water leaks in soaking feet. Although stylish and comfortable the quality is poor. Surely school shoes should be hard wearing and durable. The soles are hollow and very thin.

Although I am usually impressed by the quality and price of M&S - these school shoes have let both of us down. I purchased them in September for my 13YO and by half term the binding stitching has come off from the rubber sole, the upper is coming away from the sole (so the shoe is both unstable, and water comes in) and the bottom of the shoe at the ball of the foot is almost worn through. I am hoping this was just a bad batch of shoes.... and the quality will improve.

Whilst i thought these were very good value for a leather shoe( half the price i normally would pay for leather school shoes) 3 weeks after wearing them they are clearly not scuff resistant & made of a very thin poor coating of leather! All of of the leather has scuffed off the front & I am unable to polish out as you would with a quality leather. The rubber has come away also. 3 weeks for £20 or a couple of terms for £40.....i know where i will be going back to!

I bought these school shoes for my 12-year old son and he said 'these are just trainers'. Luckily the school does not have a issue with the look of them, but I would have preferred them to be a little bit less sporty looking. Quality seems ok, but after two weeks of wear there are obvious scuffs on the toes, so I don't know how long they will last. They would have been better if they had scuff-resistant toes like some other school shoes do. Otherwise, they are comfortable and light, and my son has no complaints. Price is a big plus.

My son is very happy with these shoes. Far cheaper than other school shoes. Hope they will last.

Purchased these shoes to last my son until end of school term. I was very pleased with the quality for the money, and my son said they are comfortable to wear.

you can not get leather shoes on the high street any where else for the price
