How long does your kids' school shoes last?

[atrecord]

Chanced upon this thread.


My DD started P1 at Yangzheng in Jan. Her shoes is a little worn out now, but it's already 9 mths. I hope it lasts till end of the year before we need to change. In terms of smell, I've not tried it, but I hope it's not all that smelly :lol:

Now for the other part:
I read about Bata (which I wore when I was in pri sch 30+ yr ago), adidas, nike, new balance, reebok, etc. DD wears FILA. Has anyone tried that? Any comments?

Bata doesn’t last, I`ve had Bata shoes in the past they barely lasted a year.

Those looking for white sch shoes, do check on Sat Straits Times page D12, a SportsLink advertisement.

That's why it's called \"Buy And Throw Away\"

Hi all


I jus bought a pair of raymax n comfortmax shoes each at sembawang pri sch for my sister’s children. the seller gave a receipt. it contains the contacts. apparently, e warehouse is in yishun. i dun hav e receipt right beside me but i rem it’s in yishun, industrial block A, block 1023 on the 4th floor, jus beside a medical warehouse. E number’s is 6555 2398.

I asked the seller what was so good bout e shoe. I was pretty impressed. According to e seller, prices range from $20 to $30 depending on size. And its a sch shoe combined w a sports shoe. 2 in 1. e shoe can use for PE, napfa test… etc. Y DO U WAN TO BUY ANOTHER SPORTS SHOE WHICH IS PROBABLY BRANDED WHEN THERE’S A 2 IN 1 SHOE?! not like as if branded sports shoe got 30plus tat kind.I also heard tat e boss designs the shoe himself. E holes at the sides of e shoe is to expel heat from wat i heard. and it’s anti slip. i tried rubbing e sole against the concrete ground. it works i tell u. I also found out tat raymax/comfortmax shoe is made from PU (poly uterine or smth like tat) which is man-made leather. Bata use PVC, or simply… lousy plastic. And yes, e shoe i bought is fully stitched. E damm sole wont drop out im sure. Overall, for e price i paid, i think its worth it.

Some might wonder wats e dif between raymax (red box) n comfortmax (blue box). e seller tell me its e same. jus tat sometimes no stock for certain size so they alternate between both.

Also, i bought comfortmax school bags. Cos there was this offer. Normal price $39.90. from a few days ago to while stocks last, e new price is $15. e quality’s not bad. plus there’s padding at e bottom of e bag so dun need worry bout heavy books spoiling the bottom of the bag.

K, tats all, jus tot i share it w parents who stil haven bought sch stuff for their children

I've used Raymax for my son for a year and I'm really impressed.

Chanced upon them at my daughter's primary school and bought a pair for my son. Was keen due to the stitching as the Bata's we've been using are expensive and split (open mouth!) very fast...especially for my son who is very active.

The Raymax shoes were very good. Also my son said they felt less hot than the Bata ones so that might mean that they are using material that's more breathable. With bata we were forced to take nylon mesh as the plastic/leather ones were way to hot. With Raymax the \"leather\" ones were still quite cooling (as least that's what my son says).

Somewhere in the middle of the year, I think I went back to them to get 2 more pairs cause that one pair I bought last December super outlasted the Batas.

Now we're ready to buy new shoes for the coming school year and I'm glad to hear they are still in business.
Only hassle is their warehouse is really in one corner of the island.
Believe they also do set up stalls at schools but can't remember the timings, which school etc.

Doing by bit to promote them cause they deserve the publicity - they are cheap and good (for now at least)!

Full address of the warehouse:
Blk 1023 Yishun Industrial Park A

but seems like got only one page showing the shoe I bought last year. The other pages look like not updated hence I was wondering if they are still in business.

They also had other shoes e.g. jogging shoes for adults - have no clue how good these are but price was v reasonble.

My kids used this brand too,very lasting.I wonder how to get to Blk 1023 Yishun Industrial Park A as i bought from their school.This round i missed the sale

[Nebbermind]

other than yishun, is it retailed anywhere else? No info at their webpage leh!

[kiasu mummy]

Raymax seems to get good feedback from parents whom had bought their school shoes and I also want to get for ds who’s entering P1 next year.


Q1: usually, how many pair of shoes do you get for your kid?

Q2: does Raymax goes to every school; say, during P1 Orientation day?

[coolit]

I got Raymax for my kids. I got 2 pairs for each child. They wore Raymax everyday but now older one wants Converse he says it is cool. So may change to that for him as he has been bugging me a long time.
