While the summer holidays might feel a long way off for youngsters, parents may already be thinking about setting aside some money for new school uniforms and shoes for the forthcoming academic year in September. This can often be a financially challenging time for families, so planning these purchases early is advisable.
Kickers, a brand renowned for its high-quality school shoes, is offering a fantastic deal on essentials ahead of the new term. The brand has launched its Back with a Kick back-to-school campaign, offering a 10% discount on first orders and free delivery on orders over £60.
Back with a Kick is being hailed as the brand's most impressive collection yet, featuring styles to suit every student. The range aims to help children stand out for all the right reasons, ensuring they feel confident from their first day back in the playground. Furthermore, the shoes are durable, practical, and stylish.
Within the collection, customers can choose from a variety of shoes, including the Kickers Youth Tovni Lacer Leather shoes, priced at £58 or £52.20 after a 10% discount. These shoes offer a mix of sporty and smart aesthetics, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Available in sizes 3 to 6 for children, these shoes feature a low profile and sleek, flat sole. They are also made from sturdy, high-quality matte leather and are finished with flat cotton laces.
Another stylish choice is the Junior Girls Kick T-Bar Meadow in Patent Leather Black, with a price drop from £58 to £52.20. This pair showcases glossy patent leather adorned with floral buckles in a fetching T-bar design.
Also available is the Junior Girls Adlar MJ Scallop Leather Black shoe, priced at the same reduced rate of £52.20. They come in sizes 1 to 13 and have taken cues from the classic Mary Jane silhouette.
The shoes feature chic scallop edges, are crafted from top-tier leather, and offer both durability and comfort for everyday use.
For shoppers seeking different brands, the McKenzie Parkin Junior is available at JD Sports for just £35. Available in assorted sizes, these synthetic leather shoes feature a lace-up fastening, a cushy collar for added comfort, and rest on a cushioned midsole paired with a rubber sole that ensures a secure grip.
Additionally, the M&S Collection Kids' Leather Riptape School Shoes are available, priced between £36 and £38, and come in sizes ranging from 2.5 to 9. One customer review praised them, saying: "Very good quality, lasts long and is comfortable. Good for wide feet."
The array of footwear from Kickers has been celebrated with positive feedback on their website, including one customer who noted: "I have bought three pairs of Tovni shoes for my granddaughters and they've loved them. They've been hard wearing and lasted the school's tough test well."
One satisfied customer expressed: "We always buy Kickers for both my boys for school. Long-lasting, comfortable from the start, and a great all-rounder shoe for boys with a cool yet smart trainer-style look. Top notch, would recommend."
Yet, not everyone was pleased, as one lamented: "Too small. The width was very narrow."
But a happy buyer complimented the shoes, remarking: "This is our second pair. The first pair lasted two years. Good quality and nice style."
