Tax on Adult Clothes for Kids

Hi people - my son aged 13 is in a size 10 mens shoe - shoe manufacturers don't make his size in children's ranges. Do you think I can claim tax back for his shoes as children's clothing is not liable for vat? and anyone know how I would do that? thanks in advance to any experts out there:confused:

    Thanks for the above info have been trawling the net trying to find out if any tax refund for VAT on shoes especially. I have 10 and 11 year old boys who both take size 8 mens shoes, football boots, astros and trainers. It is costing me an absolute fortune. I don't think they are ever going to stop growing!!!!
