School shoes

It would be a disaster if the school tightens up on uniform thankfully they are not parents had a vote last year and 78 percent were in favour of keeping the polo shirt and jumper instead of changing to a more formal uniform

Wel, they smell like shoes, obv.

PS Minibags's shoes do not smell.

Canvas is more breathable than leather so I've never really understood that thing about canvas shoes 'making' feet sweat.

Feet sweat. Full stop. It partly depends on what you're doing. Playing tennis... likely. Walking a good deal... likely. Sitting in classrooms and walking between them... less likely.

Logic.

I wonder which school this is? Most schools now seem to be so strict on uniform, only proper school shoes will do, black trainers and other forms of footwear are not allowed. Maybe this school needs to tighten up on uniform requirements.

I quite often wear plimsolls like those with jeans. They are comfortable for walking but, of course, not suitable for wet weather and they make the feet sweat so I don't think they're suitable for wearing in school all day either.

I think leather shoes for school are much better and, although more expensive, will stay fresher and last longer.

I think it's a very techie 16 year old. They teach 'em far too much at school these days!

Sneaky way of advertising jingl?
I hadn't noticed that.

Ah, but on this thread Liza80 refers to Primark plimsolls.

Could this be an advert for a certain shoe xxxx shop? Like the previous ones? Who all mentioned the same shoe shop?

Perhaps, as the and pics are now permanently available, all threads are now picture threads?

You're right, jingl!

This isn't a Picture thread...

Nothing wrong with a soliloquy. I've had one or two on here. Very enjoyable at the time.

I loved the smell of that stuff they used to whiten our plimsolls!

Yes. A lot of kids off school as it's exam period.

Quite puzzled about how he/she managed the picture though!

No, the OP hasn't broken any rules, apart from the unspoken one "Thou shalt not bore the pants off thy readers, wind them up with fake questions or treat them as the fools they definitely are not."

Are the schools on holiday again? I suspect the exams are over and some adolescents are on the loose with nothing to do. Bring back child labour! Send 'em up a chimney with a hand brush and a sack.

I had to look up that word Soputra, as you would expect.
I couldnt care less if it is a soliloquy . Why would I?

Jeez, is this all the OP has to worry about?? School shoes = snooze......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

They have thick soles so probably v comfortable.

DD3 wears black canvas shoes to school too. £6. If it's what she wants and will wear, can get away with it, doesn't mind getting wet feet.... why should I care?

Feel free to talk about rules if you wish Soontobe, but it might turn out to be a soliloquy

As to the topic of this thread. I fear +=yawn

Link to previous thread.

As in this case.

Why not?
They are sometimes relevant and topical.

But why?

I will talk about rules if and whenever I want to.
