The best quality school shoes
"Excellent school shoes - have been buying Daytona for years. If it wasn’t for my children’s feet growing, they would continue to last beyond the school year.”

“My 5yo daughter chose this (Mary Jane) style for her 1st year of school due to its design detail. Great quality & practical with its velcro straps. The widest size is a true wide, providing a good comfortable fit.”
