      As for shoes, it's been a while since my time and I hear that kids can wear white or black (depending on school) sports shoes to school now? No need to just wear those canvas shoes? Would like to get something with more support for my son...

      for shoes, schools are more flexible now. bata days are over.
      I am particular about the sole padding since they would need to jump and the padding has to be thick. I get either reebok or adidas school shoes. don't buy too late though (as in late dec) as common sizes are sold out fast. for lower primary, I get Velcro ones. morning rush, just wear without having to wait for them to tie shoe laces.
      as they progressed to p3, I switched to shoe laces especially for my son.

      Where do u get the Velcro Adidas sch shoes from? Thanks!

        Used to buy good ones fr United Square. There are 2 shops selling them. Alternative is Queensway as a default shoes & sports gears place to go to. Happy hunting!

            You can get the sports shoe brands from places like the children’s section of Takashimaya, OG, Metro…, or at sports themed malls like Velocity, IMM, Kallang Wave Mall, West Coast Plaza, Changi City Point those sports outlet stores etc.


            The main difficulty is finding all-white ones in small sizes.

              Actually, I realized that Bata’s in-house brand (B First) has school shoes that have sufficient support and good enough for PE, running around etc. Do check them out. The bottom of the soles almost look like sports shoes. Much improved over our school days those thin canvas shoes.

                During sale, royal sporting house or sportslink has 2 pair of white/black school shoes for $49 each or $59 each. Addidas or Reebok brand, velcro type. I find more durable for my hyper active kids. Watch out for sale periods. Usually way before year end n mid year. Popular sizes run out of sizes very fast.

                      Yes. We bought 2 pairs one year but kids grow so fast, next thing we know gotta give away as their feet outgrows so quickly.
