Well, it’s been quite some time since I had to think about school uniform here, as is the same for most households. However, when we think about it, the return to school isn’t that far away now – less than 4 weeks for us as the school has changed the return date to a week earlier.

I would have hoped that most of the kid’s uniforms would fit them but alas, that is not the case. Being home for all these months and they have grown like weeds, doubled almost in size and gone up 2 shoe sizes each. The weeds in my garden don’t grow this fast!

Treads shoes have come to our rescue here and have sent Harry a pair of their school shoes for when he returns. I let him choose for himself this time as he is going up into the Juniors and therefore was insistent on grown-up style shoes. Treads have a lot of choices for children and the best thing about these shoes is that they come with a 12-month indestructible guarantee! They also come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

All TREADS shoes come with a durable ‘dual fit’ technology, this means the shoes will last for even longer as it gives an extra 1/2 shoe size. There are 2 insoles within the shoes, keep both in or remove the orange EVA footbed for a larger or wider fitting. This means that if your child should suddenly have another growth spurt (as they do far too often) you won’t have to rush out and buy new shoes, leaving us parents with one less thing to think about or payout for!

Each Treads shoe assures unsurpassed quality, comfort and durability. The 12 months guarantee is an expression of their confidence in the material and workmanship of their shoes.

Of course, if the damage if caused by using the shoes as brakes for scooters or bikes it won’t be covered but should the sole split or remover from its upper it will be covered. Also covered are: if outsole is worn through into the midsole, stitching has failed resulting in a split or torn seam. The leather upper is cracked or damaged forming a hole. A strap has detached or split leaving it non-functional or if the eyelets are detached from upper.

Harry chose the Auckland shoes which he loves as they look like a grown-up shoe, the type which can be work as a smart-casual shoe, with a suit or with a school uniform and not look out of place.

These shoes have been built for active boys, those who love to run around, kick a ball about or even climb a tree. Made with permair leather that is soft enough to allow easy flexible movement, offering unrivalled comfort and engineered to cope with the rigours of the schoolyard. The sole is tough and strong but also flexible and lightweight. Teamed with durable ‘dual fit’ technology and subtle stitching finishes off the look.

These are easy to pull on if you do up the laces loosely or you could even replace the laces entirely with stretchy bands which could make it even easier for younger children, and I have actually done this with Harry’s pair as I know he will struggle when it comes to getting changed again from PE etc. as he always rushes.
