Kids' Freshfeet™ Zip High Tops (4 Small - 7 Large)

Nice shoe but no where near wide enough for splints had to buy from else where

I have to buy these kinds of shoes for my son, who has special needs. It is really difficult to find ones with zips, as without zips these types of shoes are really hard to put on. Then in summer, nowhere stocks high tops. So it is a big relief that M and S does them for a reasonable price. These are firm enough to give ankle support and look smart, we have the black ones which will make good school shoes.

Surprised the shoes are so good for kids in Marks and Spencer

My son has Cerebral Palsy and it is difficult to buy shoes that his feet can comfortably fit into. These are great as there is a zip each side.

These shoes are great! They have comfortable soles and you can wear without socks!

Perfect for my daughter who wears an afo. She finds the really comfortable and we didn’t need to adjust them. Like we had to with the others

I got the black on black to use as school shoes and they are brilliant

The shoe looked very smart and fitted well. Solid price. Unfortunately, we bought this style of shoe under the suggestion of our child's Community Team for a specific purpose. We needed shoes that work with foot/heel wedges. Unfortunately, there is not enough space for the foot with wedges being used. It left their feet very sore with red marks (that appeared relatively quickly) that wouldn't disappear easily. M&S do offer a lot of specific items that other High Street brands to not for children with complex/specific needs e.g. PEG tube feeding shirts. This we applaud and are thankful for. However, in this instance, the shoes did not work out. Perhaps this could be avoided or at least alleviated if different widths were available for each size; the ability to have feet measured in store; and/or more information regarding dimensions i.e. not just shoe length.

I'm really happy M&S make an adaptive shoe like this - it fits my daughter's brace (AFO, no hinge). However the fit would be better if the insoles were easily removable!

I bought these shoes as my daughter wears a leg splint and she has never been able to wear anything fashionable in her 25 years of wearing shoes, these are perfect
