    I was gonna say sportsworld/soccerworld or lilly whites...all the same company, they had some Kappa for £5.99 (Something around that price) and some umbro for around £7.99 - depends where you live...whether you have one of these stores near

    here is a website with cheapish trainers http://www.sportsdirect.com/category.pasp?txtcategory=TrainersChildsUmbro
    :p:p Angel :p:p
  • Also 'Decathlon' if you've got one nearby - we kitted out our son with trainers, rugby boots and soccer boots very very cheaply there.

    I wouldn't suggest charity shop for a little one unless they are new, shoes and trainers shape to the feet, this type of thing can damage a little ones precious feet. Feet are something we can't change and while they are growing it's best to look after them.

    As far as cheap Sports Soccer I have seen them for a few pounds upwards. If you have a local Clarke's outlet shop I am told they can have some good fitting trainers at good prices.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Go to Clarks and get a proper fitting, then check ebay for 99p pair of exact size (i have bought Clarks, Pods, Vans, Converse for my kids, all for under £5 incl postage... kids grow so fast they have all been as new. brand new every time is not an option!
