Sons school shoes £3

Hi how much do you spend on school shoes ??
My 12 year old son wears primark plimsolls as school shoes which cost £3 he's had these ones since Easter. His school has a jumper and polo shirt style uniform.
My sons school reccomds plain black lace up plimsolls as a cheap alternative to proper school shoes.
Do you spend much on school shoes ???

I used to wear second hand shoes, my parents bought them at jumble sales for a couple of pennies. They had cardboard soles put on them when they got holes in them.

If I complained about them they threatened to sell me to the Gypsies for six pence, so had to wear them.

I could only dream about new Gucci shoes, I suppose those kids that live in that shoe box by the roundabout had better shoes than me.
 
Am one of 5 kids and when we were at school, we all wore very basic footwear.
It was the norm and nobody battered an eyelid.
 
My brothers and sister used to dream of a new pair of shoes. As the eldest, I wore them in, a terrible and painful job, another brother wore them the next term, my sister the next and after my grandad had repaired them my youngest brother got them for Christmas.
