The short version

A sensible, no-fuss school shoe. The two things that matter are the size and the school's uniform rules.

Every parent knows the routine. School starts on Monday, the old shoes have a hole in them, and the uniform list says "black shoes, no logos".

The Liberty Gola is a unisex school uniform shoe, and the listing is short on details. That is normal for school shoes, which are meant to be plain. Liberty is a long-established footwear brand, which counts for something when you need a shoe to survive a term of football at break time.

Before you order:

  1. Measure your child's foot in the evening, when feet are at their largest, and leave a thumb's width for growth.
  2. Check the school's rules for colour, laces or Velcro, and style.
  3. Read the return policy, because children's sizes are hard to get right online.

Children outgrow shoes fast. This is a shoe for this year, not for the next three.
