It's scary how quickly it's crept up :eek: I need new everything as they've changed most of the uniform and PE kits this year. Not that much of last years would have fitted anyway they way these two are sprouting!
I might even start the hunt for DS2 shoes tomorrow. It's hard enough normally that he's a H width fitting and can't tie shoelaces......very limited choice without paying an absolute fortune.....but he's also a size 6.5 now which seems to be too big for most kids styles and too small for men's.

Was just going to say clarks outlet is good for school shoes, we had the same problem with DS1 now he is a size 10, they cost a fortune.

I see LEJC has said the same.

FC...on the subject of school shoes....clarks factory shops or outlets have quite a good selection for the larger footed kid...

We've moved to the adult section now as ds1 is very firmly a 10 and ds2 following quickly behind...but used to find that clarks hardly changed their styles much either...at least one of my children had the same style shoe for 4 fittings which took him almost through senior school...

I think from memory that a size 6.5 is still available in quite a large range of the childrens styles which would include the velcro fastenings or slip ons

Snap, I was just saying the same. :rotfl::rotfl:

Well I checked and there is. Brand new from the Clarks outlet, paid £27.99....the receipt is still in the bag.

.........and they're a size 5.5 :eek: _pale_ Gutted! I'll have to eBay them.

Ebay is always good...but before you do check that clarks wont give you a credit note back...especially if still in bag and box...they really dont change styles from year to year and are most probably still selling them...

or if you can find a pair in this years size they might even do you a swap.

Tweets still no LA delivery as they have deliveries on a Weds to the store which is where I am picking it up from..I refused to pay £5 delivery ,but Lala was delighted when she knew what I had ordered her even though she has to wait for it;)

Oooh that might be worth a try. I thought it might be cheeky seeing as I bought them in January but no one ever died from being cheeky did they? I think I will try it. Thanks for the suggestion :beer:

Thank you, what APG did it produce?

I have studied my receipt from last night. I didn't realise the Simple compared to Sains so everything I bought at A was way more cheaper there than Sains Also realise I should have bought Tic Tacs at T too

FC, my 12 yr old ds is a size 7 now (wider than a H as well:eek:) and can't tie shoe laces (dyspraxia). We have a shop in Maidstone called the golden boot, I don't know if they are a chain but we got rhino shoes from them last year in a 6 1/2, very wide and Velcro, I think they were £50 but have lasted since last September until this July.
