Problem solved then. Goodbye!

Amanda64 Wed 19-Aug-15 21:31:20

I will get him the one I saw and get the £8 high tops that go with it

Ana Wed 19-Aug-15 21:25:52

Charity shops? After all, he'll grow out of it soon enough.

Plimsolls available from Shoe Zone, Primark, catalogue shops...

Amanda64 Wed 19-Aug-15 21:21:17

I am only willing to spend £15 £20 max

Ana Wed 19-Aug-15 21:17:08

And mothers, too! Didn't we have one not long ago wondering whether to spend a pittance or less on her son's shoes while her daughter had Vans?

I don't know, young people (or even grans) of today...hmm

It is up to you. You know what you want to spend. You don't need our advice

Tracksuits are a change from shoes, which is why our advice is usually asked by bewildered grandmothers. There seem to be an awful lot of them around who can't make up their minds.

Ana Wed 19-Aug-15 20:58:28

Yes, it's so unfair to just go for the cheaper options, he is your grandson after all.

kittylester Wed 19-Aug-15 20:57:19

Omg!!

Alea Wed 19-Aug-15 20:43:09

He deserves nothing less than a Nike tracksuit and a pair of Vans.

downtoearth Wed 19-Aug-15 20:26:05

from shoe zone.....

Indinana Wed 19-Aug-15 20:09:28

Do you have to get trainers? Can't you just go for plimsolls? grin

Coolgran65 Wed 19-Aug-15 19:56:43

Depends on his age. For rough and tumble I'd go cheap as possible.
If for style and dgs is older, you could always get a gift receipt to exchange if necessary

Anne58 Wed 19-Aug-15 19:33:21

Oh dear!

Amanda64 Wed 19-Aug-15 19:03:18
