I always look for well-made shoes, shoes that will last the wear and tear kids put them through, something they are happy to wear and a pair that are comfortable.
My wish list of shoes from Charles Clinkard :
Jacob, needs a tough shoe, one that will give the wear and tear a 5-year-old needs. A comfortable shoe, that is also smart looking and will last, Geox Junior Giant. Geox is a brand I have used over the years - shoes that I trust and love.
Lewis, pre-teens would like something more mature, but still easy and comfortable for him to wear, thus, these Kickers Reasan Strap youth shoes, are perfect for him.
Liam will be 16 in a few months, he is in adult shoes, so for Liam these
Josef Seibel Douglas slip on shoes are perfect for what he needs (and what he will wear) they are in the sale at the moment as well!
