Kids' Leather Lace School Shoes (2½ - 9 Large)

Looked good for about a week and then started to turn grey even with polishing. Now lasted 2 months and the soles are pealing off! I have bought school shoes from M&S for year and am really disappointed with this quality

We had these for 6 weeks before the sole inner and outer broke. I stupidly after 4 weeks threw the receipt away. Disappointing as my son genuinely looks after his shoes. The black outer layer started to look grey and scuffed like within a week all over the shoe, and then the inner sole and outer fell apart. Shocking really. I'd expect it from £15-20 shoes but not nearly £40 I paid I wish I'd read the reviews as most others say this

These shoes looked good when they arrived but lasted less than 2 weeks the sole came off completely

I am a woman with size 5 1/2 feet. These boys' shoes are excellent for me. Stylish and comfortable and good value.

We bought these as school shoes and they seem good so far. They were a tad pricey.

Great shoes, loved by my son and as they are a reasonable price me also Last longer than other brands too

Nice shoes but four weeks in and on a particularly wet day, the sole came off. Boys shoes need to be a bit more hard wearing than that

The shoes are very good quality and although I had to add insoles, this is because of my son’s really skinny feet! We stopped going to the shop that is best known for school shoes as the quality dropped off dramatically in recent years and have been using M&S ever since.

Good thick insoles to give padding and a comfy fit

Awful quality: the shoe split from the sole within 3 days. Despite being leather these also scuffed very quickly

After wearing these shoes for 2 weeks, the sole came half off while my son was at school. I wouldn’t recommend this style. I normally have no issues with M&S school shoes and I was immediately refunded.

Great school shoes for my year 11 son. Apparently they are really comfy inside. Better than his last M&S ones. Like slippers apparently. High praise indeed for a 15 year old. Also cool enough. Good price for me too.

These school shoes look smart and my son said they were very comfortable. After the 1st weeks wear they were scuffed and grey and less than 3 weeks of wear later the sole is coming away on both shoes and are being returned. I have replaced them with proper school shoes from a shoe shop and I know these will last the full year.

After one week of wear, the toe delaminated from the sole and lifted. Very bad quality for such an expensive school shoe
