Wondering where to buy those black school shoes for your kids? With the abundance of choices, now you can get a really good quality pair without breaking your bank. Here are a few suggestions of the more popular options, ranging from school, sports to casual footwear preferred by shoppers online.
I got a pair of Skechers black shoes for RM80+ after a 50% discount. Wait for the mega sales and the dates are usually 11.11, 12.12. 8.8… When the day and month are the same number. For the size, you can either try them out at the shop first before your purchase or use their size guide which I think is quite accurate. I always add 1-2 cm but when you acquire more experience shopping online, you would know which size to pick. Children grow very fast!
Bata

From the durable white canvas shoes years ago to the now more fashionable black shoes with various designs, Bata has been our go-to brand for hunting reasonably priced good quality shoes for kids. Those with a velcro fastener are suitable for smaller children as they don’t have to tie their shoelaces.
