School Shoes? Well, it’s Dr Marten’s, baby. Obviously.
Back in the day, my teenaged feet and my DM’s were inseperable. Honestly – it was 1987 (ish), and the ONLY footwear that was acceptable was DM’s.

Classic DM shoes – rarely did my teen sartorial preference so closely...
MicroScooters – perfect for the school run #BackToSchool

Crocs. Yes. (even a Prince wears them now…)
We know, we know. Crocs. Rubber shoes. (now just stop recoiling in horror, and read a bit more pleasethankyou) I know. I do. But. I can’t actually think of any item of footwear more suitable for a child than one made of rubber? But you HAVE to get the real deal. Please don’t think it’s okay to opt for the cheap imitation versions out there – there’s a whole world of difference between the two. Real Crocs...
