Children’s school shoes
are usually quite boring. They come in Black or Brown and flat or nearly flat.
Young children wear their shoes for only a short time before they are too small
for them and the shoes are often thrown away hardly worn.
I would like to see the control of footwear by schools, lessened, especially
during the earlier years.
It really is not important what a child has on his or her feet while they are
sitting at a desk anyway.
Older children in the secondary school will expect to own school shoes and home
shoes too because the style of school shoes is not a choice they have made, but
usually one which has been made for them.
Often they must have new football
boots, hockey boots, trainers and tennis shoes as well every time their feet
grow a 3rd of an inch.
Some shoe manufacturers have
taken note of young people’s preference and produced quite sporty looking shoes
but often school shoes are flimsy and poorly made, the manufacturer expecting
them to last 3 - 6 months at the most with the treatment they receive.
Children no longer polish
shoes every day or even clean the mud off. Nor do they always change into
slippers at home and so the shoes are sat on when kneeling and used as football
boots in the garden.
It can be very expensive to
keep a school child in footwear.
Pay a small amount and get a
broken pair of shoes that are un-wearable within weeks or a large amount and
maybe you won’t have to buy any for 6 months if you are very lucky.
