Back to school season is almost upon us in England and is well underway in Bonny Scotland and this time of year is bloomin’ pricey for little feet, I’m sure you will agree!!

Growth spurts during summer and the fact you held on dearly to those school shoes which were barely hanging together pre-summer because you staunchly refuse to buy new shoes bang at the end of a school year, signals a lot of wonga.

There’s the obligatory smart black pair, and I always buy a back up as I’ve lost count of the times my eldest has come home from a day incorporating P.E. and wearing two odd shoes, or worse, his trainers as his actual shoes have disappeared into thin air!

Then there are the trainers, the footie boots for astro pitches, the studs for rugby and grass footie pitches….it is endless!

Well I started early this year as we have been in America most of the summer so I wanted to get a bit of a start before we left, so whilst I can’t buy the bog standard black school shoes until I can fit in a day suitable to spend mundanely in Clarks watching 500 other families try on every shoe in the shop before our number peeps, I can get the others covered.

Fortunately in blogging, I happen across brands that I could otherwise be oblivious to, which I can then bring to you, dear readers!

One such brand is Plae. Who? I know!! But when I tell you a little about them, you will be glad of my serendipity! his brand is actually EVERYWHERE in the U.S. and is loved by celebrities like Angelina Jolie, J-LO (j’adore!!!), Jennifer Garner, Naomi Watts and January Jones among others.

Plae are a kids shoe innovation, created by Ryan Ringholz, ex creative from Puma, Diesel and New Balance and have been designed to perform to the same high standard as professional athletes shoes.

Good enough to impress my budding footballers and Olympic addicts!

And I love that they even have vegan styles in the range as well as being made in the most eco-friendly factory I’ve ever heard of!

We went for these NAT styles, which are literally to cool for school. Funky enough for my picky ten-year old to approve of and my fiesty four year old loved them too!

The description on their website describes them to a tee ‘Serious on the top, party on the bottom – this multi-dimensional mashup is for the duality in every kid’

They are available in half sizes which I think is crucial as so often I’ve been caught out in between sizes and not got much dash for my cash! They even have a unique growth-spurt guarantee where if those little feet outgrow within 30 days, you get to return them and get half price off the next size up  – Clarks and Start-rite TAKE NOTE!!!

With interchangeable cool tabs the kids can let their imaginations run riot and truly personalise their pumps.

The boys love theirs and totally ignored me when I told them not to play footie on the grass with them – well we all know how bloody hard grass stains are to remove! – but thankfully most styles of these little beauties are machine friendly and there’s even a video tutorial on which settings to use to get the perfect wash.

So we love our flexible, fabulous and funky Plae’s and I’m delighted to team up with them to offer one pair of your choice up as a prize, worth up to £65.  That’s a winner in anyone’s wallet!
