Black BackPack with Shoe compartment for School.

Looking for recommendations for a school backpack with a shoe/boot compartment.
The one the school "recommends" (from the usual mug you off uniform shop) no longer accommodate my elder sons battle ship feet. The zips were also particularly pitiful and prone to losing teeth, which the shop acknowledges, so something that can withstand "teenager" would be a bonus too.
Unfortunately it "must" be a backpack with two shoulder straps, it must be black and "logos" must be minimal / none existent (reflective strips are allowed). So no over the shoulder "head" bags of my youth.
They also don't give the kids a locker so it needs to be big enough to carry around journals, reading records, pe kits (on appropriate days) and the aforementioned large footwear (UK size 12). I appreciate he's a bit of an outlier in regards to size and build but I'm struggling to find anything obviously suitable and the school aren't very helpful either.
