I remember at school others might have got away with slip on shoes, not me. I had to have my feet measured and wear what I called " my start rite knockabouts" till I was about sixteen. They may have even been called that at Clarks but great big ugly black things they were. Any way a report out shows summer sandals, slip on shoes, thong types etc are not good for our feet, not only damaging feet but giving hip and knee injuries. My mother got lots of things wrong, but not this one!
