Double rip-tape fastening Leather lining Bump toe protection This pair of Start-Rite Engineer Leather School Shoes are a classically styled and typically durable playground staple. Layered in shiny and flexible leather, this pair also has a cushy leather lining to keep tootsies warm on long school days. The double rip-tape fastener makes dress-up quick and the fit secure, while the bump toe protection and durable rubber sole give a premium finish to this all-round favourite. Measure and Fit at Home: Start-rite believe it's really important to measure a child's feet accurately before buying them every pair of shoes, as ill-fitting shoes can have a serious impact on your child's foot health. To be sure that your child is wearing shoes that fit properly, you can either visit one of the John Lewis stores, where trained staff will measure and fit your child with shoes, or if that's not convenient, use one of our specially developed fitting gauges to help you measure your child's feet at home.
