Kids' Leather Freshfeet™ School Shoes (13 Small - 7 Large)

Bought these for my granddaughter. She loves them but we find that having 3 pairs over the last year they are not very robust

I bought these shoes for my annoying teenage daughter, for whom I am writing this review. I attempted to ask her to review them but she provided minimal input.

Lovely shoes. Came up a little wide and no choice of fitting. May have kept and worn with thicker socks, but the right shoes made a creaking noise.

I bought these to replace the same type that my granddaughter had outgrown. She thinks they are smart and they fit nicely.

Second school year we have bought the same shoes, even tho my daughter is going from 1st school to middle school they still are great. She is very heavy on her feet and these shoes have been through rain, snow, ice sunshine and miles and miles of playing in the play ground. She has quite wide feet and high arches and she has never complained once about feet hurting true to size. Would def recommend

We didn't even try these on (online order) as the laces were too thick for the holes. I could barely move them at all, and was unable to remove them (to thread them differently) as the laces were too thick for the holes. Certainly no way my daughter could have done them herself. So they had to be returned. This was a problem with the patent brogues only; the leather ones were fine.

These shoes were just right for my daughters narrow feet. She needed a smart pair going into Year 7 to meet the schools strict standards. The size 6 were loose but the 5 was perfect so they must come up big. We searched many places for decent shoes, good grip, low heel and soft insoles as some shoes out there are too chunky, heavy and not made of leather. I have been purchasing Marks shoes for the last few years now as find other retailers no longer offer a good selection. I do hope you continue to make this style it would save me the hassle as her feet continue to grow to find alternative brands. You now just need a good selection of decent school trainers as most brands out there cater for the fashion market rather than for actual sports.
