Kickers have launched a new campaign with 10% off first orders for school returning in September
While the school summer holidays still feel like an age away for kids, parents may already be thinking of putting some money aside to buy new clothes and shoes for the new year in September. This can often be a stressful time for families in terms of expenses, so the earlier these are sorted, the better.
Kickers, a brand known for quality school shoes, has a great deal on essentials ahead of the new term. The brand has launched its back to school campaign, Back with a Kick, which has 10% off first orders and free delivery for those who spend over £60.
Back with a Kick has been described as the brand's strongest collection to date, with styles for every student. The range is said to help kids to stand out and be noticed for all the right reasons, ensuring they feel fearless from the first day back on the playground. Plus, the shoes are durable, functional, and brimming with style.
Among the collection, shoppers can choose from a range of shoes including the Kickers Youth Tovni Lacer Leather shoes in Black for £58 - or £52.20 after the 10% discount - which are a blend of sporty and smart. The shoe comes in sizes 3 to 6 for kids and they have a low profile and sleek flat sole. They are also crafted from durable, high-quality matte leather and are finished with flat cotton laces.
Another option is the Junior Girls Kick T-Bar Meadow in Patent Leather Black for £52.20 down from £58, a shiny patent leather shoe with flower buckles and a T-Bar style. Alternatively, shoppers can grab the Junior Girls Adlar MJ Scallop Leather Black shoe for the same price, which comes in sizes 1 to 13 and is inspired by the Mary Jane style. This shoe features delicate scallop detailing, is crafted from high quality leather and the style is durable and easy to wear.

Product Description
If this particular collection isn't for everyone, shoppers could also try the McKenzie Parkin Junior for £35 from JDSports which comes in a range of sizes and is cut from synthetic leather. The shoes also feature a lace fastening and a padded collar for support. Underfoot, they sit on a cushioned midsole and have a grippy rubber outsole. Another option is the M&S Collection Kids' Leather Riptape School Shoes for between £36-£38, which are available in sizes 2 and a half to 9.
The Kickers collection, however, has been rated highly on their website as one shopper said: "I have bought 3 pairs of Tovni shoes for my granddaughters and they've loved them. They've been hard wearing and lasted the school tough test well."
Another said: "We always buy Kickers for both my boys for school. Long lasting, comfy from the off and just a great all rounder shoe for boys with a cool but smart trainer style look. Top notch, would recommend."
Not everyone felt the same way, however, and one customer shared: "Too small. Width was very narrow."
"This is our second pair. The first pair lasted two years. Good quality and nice style," said another shopper.
However, Kickers' Back with a Kick campaign, with its 10% off and free delivery deals, sounds like it could be a great choice for parents looking to get long-lasting, great quality shoes for Back to School season.

M&S Scallop Plunge Swimsuit, £35 The M&S Scallop Swimsuit features a plunge neckline with a stylish scallop trim and keyhole detailing at the front.

It also has removable pads around the bust area for support, and the stylish design could be worn alone or paired with linen trousers or a maxi skirt for the perfect holiday outfit.

New Look has loads of gorgeous summer pieces at the moment, including a £27 midi dress that flatters chunky arms and "looks expensive". The short puffed sleeves paired with the floaty fit give a vintage-style appearance, and the versatile design could be dressed up or down for any occasion.

The warm weather is still sticking around, and there are so many fashion and beauty essentials on the high-street to help beat the heat.

With the internet full of grand garden makeovers, Lou was on a mission to show her followers that even if you rent a property, you can still create a space you love without having to spend a fortune. Posting on social media, the blonde beauty shared a before, during and after look at her garden overhaul, which she did totally by herself, leaving many open-mouthed. The content creator, who has racked up over 30,000 followers, explained before kicking off with the project, she first drew herself a plan on a piece of paper of exactly what she was going to do. She then stocked up on bargain buys, as she said: "Everything I used was from my local B&M store, so this really was a transformation on a budget.' What was once a very overgrown space has now been given a new lease of life - and we think it looks fabulous. Lou started out by mowing the lawn and then moved on to putting borders in place and planting some flowers. After this, she used Cuprinol paint to give her privacy fence a glow-up. Additionally, she then created a raised area for seating and used bark and lights to add some personality to the space. Opening up about the challenges of the transformation, she acknowledged: 'The biggest challenge for me was the fences - I had 21 fence panels and nothing that I bought seemed to work. 'I was quoted £10,000 for a garden renovation but did it MYSELF for £1,000 using ChatGPT to show my kids what single mums can do' 'I would do it differently now because so many people helped me out in the comments, but it was too late - I would definitely prime the fences first, but we live and learn. 'I also had a lot of people worry about the bark at the top of the garden, but it has lasted through the winter and as far as I can see, no cat poop.' Everything I used was from my local B&M store, so this really was a transformation on a budget Lou Lou was impressed with the masonry paint that she used on her fence posts and would do her transformation 'again in a heartbeat.' Showing off the finished garden, which is now super glam, Lou beamed and shared her upcoming plans: 'It still looks really year, I'm going to redesign my friend's rented garden and I'm so excited.'
