Kickers' 'durable' Back to School shoe range that 'lasts all year'

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.

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 Kickcampaign, 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.
