So when she saw all the positive reviews for the adidas Tensaur trainers, she decided to give them a try.
And she was more than a little chuffed when they lasted her boy longer than any other pair he'd tried.
Now the adidas shoes have been reduced on Amazon, Alice took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to encourage other parents to nab some too.
Sharing a screenshot of the shoes on the site, she wrote alongside it: "Currently £16!
"These have been the longest wearing school shoes my son has had!"
The original price of the shoes is £28, so the discount isn't one to be sniffed at.
And other mums took to the comments section to share their own positive reviews of the shoes too.
"My son had these - first year this year and lasted so well," one wrote.
"We've had these every year and love them," another said.
"These are the ones the boys have and they last ages," a third wrote, tagging a friend.
I'm a boy mum & found 'virtually indestructible' school shoes - they're the only pairs my sons that last the whole year
"I have to agree!" someone else added.
"My son was going through shoes every term. Got these and they lasted over a school year just brought them again in the next size up!
"He also loves them. Even wears them day to day as so comfortable, he says."
"My son has these every year! That's a bargain. Might buy next size up," another commented.
"I literally love these shoes - they're the only ones that have lasted for my son at school," someone else agreed.
"Love these shoes," another said.
EXTRA HELP WITH SCHOOL UNIFORM COSTS
IF you can't get targeted help from your council, you might have some other options available to you.
In some areas, you can talk directly to your school, which might be able to offer you clothing.
Or, you might be able to get cheap garments from low-budget shops or charity stores.
Some charities offer help to families in need too.
But bear in mind charities often have a limited amount of money to give and usually have specific criteria which must be met in order to get a grant.
Charity Turn2Us has a free grants search tool on its website which you can use to find out what help is available to you.
Meanwhile, you can always try approaching your nearest Citizens' Advice branch.
If you don't know where your nearest Citizens' Advice branch is, you can find out by visiting www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/nearby/.
If you're not eligible for a school uniform grant you might be able to get help through the Household Support Fund.
"My son has had the same pair since September - definitely a record in our house!"
While others admitted they'd already bought the shoes - at a much higher price.
"I've just paid £23 for these," one sighed.
"Man just bought these at full price last week," another added.
And some people said there are other shoes that they prefer for their kids.
"Nothing beats Geox shoes for school," one wrote.
"Reinforced toes!!! My son can ruin school shoes in a week easily.
"Scuffs his feet & wears holes in the feet very quickly."

The rarest and most stunning wild animals to see in Scotland
From the Highlands and Islands to the Scottish Borders, there are plenty of animals out there that will blow you away. If you are interested in learning more about Scotland's wildlife or simply want to know how rare some of our most iconic animals are, look no further. See some of Scotland's rarest and most endangered wild animals The red squirrel is under threat from the invasive grey squirrel (Getty) (Image: Getty) The Red Squirrel According to the wildlife charity Scottish Squirrel, this species, which is native to Scotland and the British Isles, is severely threatened by the invasive grey squirrel. Grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 19th century and are said to be larger and more robust, allowing them to outcompete the smaller red squirrel for food and resources. Sadly, there are as few as 120,000 red squirrels remaining in Scotland, with many of these animals residing in the conifer forests of Dumfries and Galloway and the Caledonian pine forests of the Highlands. Beavers The Eurasian beaver was reintroduced to Scotland in 2009 (Getty) (Image: Getty) Beavers, which have legal protection in Scotland under the Habitats Regulations Act, were reintroduced to the country in 2009 after being hunted to extinction in the 16th century. The Scottish Wildlife Trust says that the Eurasian beavers are "adept natural engineers, with an incredible ability to create new wetlands, restore native woodland and improve conditions for a wide range of species, including dragonflies, otters and fish." Nature Scotland adds that there are around 424 beaver territories and 1500 beavers across Scotland. Bottlenose Dolphins There are thought to be 224 bottlenose dolphins in Scotland (Getty) (Image: Getty) Spotted on both the east and west coasts of Scotland, the bottlenose dolphin has a relatively small population of around 224 based on estimates from between 2015 and 2019. There are a number of pressures facing these cetaceans, such as the threat from human organic pollutants, recreational activities and collision with sea vessels. Golden Eagles The golden eagle population is once again growing in Scotland (Getty) (Image: Getty) Forestry and Land Scotland says that for a long time, golden eagles have represented a "classic symbol of the wild" in Scotland. Known for the "glorious light golden brown plumage on their head, neck and shoulders," these birds were driven to extinction in England and Wales. While their numbers did suffer in Scotland, their population is once again growing, with these birds being more common in the Highlands. Recommended Reading: Pine Martens Pine Martens primarily live in woodlands (Getty) (Image: Getty) These cat-sized mustelids are part of the weasel family and are recognisable for their dark brown fur and long bodies (which are around 65 to 70cm in length). Existing primarily in woodlands, the population of these animals remains low, with only an estimated 3700 adult pine martens being left in Scotland. This was because of a sustained persecution by gamekeepers in the 19th century, a practice which lasted until relatively recently.

Cover ugly walls or fences with a beautiful, fast-growing flower – it also adds privacy to your garden
IF your garden has an ugly wall or fence that needs brightening up, there's one flower for the job. You can cover the eyesore and help to elevate your garden's privacy in one go. 2 Gardening experts recommend adding a flower to your garden walls and fences (stock image) Credit: Getty The experts at Gardener's World named the best plant for the job, and detailed how to grow and prune it. They recommended adding trumpet vines, officially known as Campsis, to your walls and fences. The deciduous woody climbers feature red, orange, or yellow tubular flowers that bloom from late summer through to autumn. Give these plants a large space to grow, ideally on a south-facing wall or a pergola in direct sunlight. They will quickly cover a framework, but experts advise annual pruning to control growth. Trumpet vines are known to cause skin irritation, so always wear gloves when handling. Plant these vines against a large wall or fence, or you can train them up a trellis or pergola, They can also be grown in large pots placed in a warm sheltered spot against a wall or fence. While they are frost hardy, they thrive in warmer conditions, with full sunlight helping to ripen the new wood. This improves hardiness and promotes prolific flowering, with the plants often growing to 12 metres with wall support. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out They are ideal for adding privacy to your space and can spread for up to four metrese in width. But be warned, trumpet vines can be invasive so be sure to grow them in containers to help restrict their spread. TikTok garden pro Michael (@themediterraneangardener) also recommended the climbing plant for quick coverage of walls and fences. He described the flower as "fast-growing", explaining "it will quickly cover a wall or a fence". Trumpet vines are best planted in spring or early autumn and need to be watered thoroughly. How to create privacy in your garden CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden: 1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy. 2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier. 3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution. 4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern. For the best results, mix organic matter such as garden compost into the planting area. Dig a hole at least twice as wide as the pot and around the same depth. This should be placed approximately 45 centimetres from the base of the wall or fence. Loosen the soil at the edges of the hole and remove the plant from its pot, teasing out the roots. Place the vines in the hole levelling the top of the rootball with the soil. Then refill the hole and gently firm the soil around the plant, removing any air pockets. As well as watering the plant, you should mulch with compost or chipped bark. You can also tie the shoots into supports to start training the vine.
