Associate EditorWant quality school shoes for your child that are on budget, built to last ... and get your child’s seal of approval? Deichmann is your one-stop-shop for primary and secondary school kids. Oh, AND it’s Netmums-recommended!
Buying school shoes is an unavoidable expense, whether it’s midway through the term, or preparing for back to school in September. It can also be a stressful shopping experience, with you opting for the sensible black shoes and your child eyeing a trendy shoe that is definitely NOT on the approved school uniform list.
But there is a way to save on school shoes and avoid arguments (honestly!) … and all it takes is switching where you shop.
We asked our panel of Netmums testers – other families just like yours – to go instore or online at shoe retailer Deichmann and put a pair of school shoes to the test.
All the families have children at primary or secondary school and each received a £30 voucher to use towards the shoes.
And it’s clear they were a hit. In our poll of 39 Netmums testers, 97% said they’d recommend them to other parents. Which means Deichmann is OFFICIALLY Netmums Recommended!
