They are also available in pink and white, and in adult sizes, while the toddler version goes from infant size 4 to 10. "Crocs have brought out a school shoe and that's what they look like," Zara said in her TikTok video as she held up the slingback black shoes, which have a slight platform. "Not to everybody's taste I'm sure but these I actually think they're quite cute!" She added that as her son "won't wear any other shoe" than Crocs, getting dressed for school in September will be made a whole lot easier thanks to the footwear. "Everything is all about feel with him, so Crocs are the only shoes he wears," Zara continued. "And when I saw these school shoes I was like, 'Done! Don't care how much they cost!' "Because every year I take them and try on school shoes and he picks a pair and then the next thing he's like two weeks in saying, 'no they're not comfy, I .don't like them, they really hurt my feet' blah blah'."

"All fun and games til Winter time in snow or rain," one person wrote. "Which you can't really help though but I'd wear those in the snow." "Love them!" another said. "I'd get my son them, who only wears Crocs or Skechers, but if it's a wet day their feet will be soaked!" "OMG, I've been having bother with shoes for Dakota - she only wears Crocs, she's the same as Charlie with sensory issues. "How have I never heard of these?" "I got my girls the barefoot school shoes," a third added. "They're the only shoes they'll keep on for more than five minutes... maybe 10! "Didn't know they did these, will have to get some now." "Hopefully he will be comfortable and have a happy start to the year. You're a brilliant mummy," someone else praised. "I have these, I love them!" another commented. 4 Her son won't wear anything other than Crocs, so finding these shoes means she'll avoid rows come September Credit: tiktok/@zaratweed89
