We previously revealed how a mum sparked a parenting debate after sharing her latest discovery : a pair of £35 Crocs that she hopes will solve her back-to-school struggles.
For Zara, the hunt for the perfect pair of school shoes for her son is always a stressful experience due to his sensory-sensitive needs.
But when she saw that the popular footwear brand had released a new school shoe style, she was quick to snap up a pair, hopeful that the new term will be a whole lot easier.
Zara took to TikTok to showcase the new £34.99 Mary Jane Clog, a black slingback shoe with a slight platform.
She revealed they are available in kids’ sizes from infant 11 to junior 6, as well as toddler sizes from infant 4 to 10.
For parents who want to match, they also come in adult sizes, with pink and white colourways available.
Holding up the shoes in her video, Zara said: “Crocs have brought out a school shoe and that’s what they look like.
“Not to everybody’s taste I’m sure but these I actually think they’re quite cute!”
She explained that as her son “won’t wear any other shoe” than Crocs, the decision was a no-brainer.
