Market forces dictate, although presumably at focus tests many mums disagreed? These products don't appear out of thin air
Company deliberately manufactures something nobody wants in order to make political point. Seems legit.
Can't wait for the Xe & Xirs range next Autumn...
There is a solution to this get 100 girls and 100 boys and 4 pairs of shoes let them choose their favs and even name them, repeat regionally
At £40/pair this might not catch on...
No,Clarkes use this as market research,it solves the "sexist" argument and the kids pick the styles ,have a dress, play and school range
I'd be prepared to bet a substantial sum of money something similar to this already exists... and we get the Dolly Babe/Leader
Doubt the names were chosen by kids
Doubt they care TBH
Perhaps, but if the kids pick the styles and names , it takes the sexist argument out, kids don't see sexism until it's forced upon them
I buy my daughter boys' trainers for this precise reason. Oppression levels = 0
Do what I did for my girls, buy them knee high boots. Can jump in all the puddles they want.
Or at the risk of sounding old fashioned, what's wrong with a good old pair of Welly's for jumping in puddles. My daughter had them.
Nowt wrong with them at all but not exactly on the approved school uniform list. Can get away with a pair of sturdy leather boots.
Why not state issued boots so everyone can look the same, just like Utopian society in 1984
O.M.G.....are you serious?? I really expected better from you. 99.9% of mums buying shoes don't even think about this utter,utter nonsense.
