My daughter (6) is aggressive abusive to her shoes. Trainers seem to last about 6 weeks before the toe is destroyed and the sole delaminating. Sketchers, or boots seem to last a bit longer, maybe 2-3 months before being annihilated.
Has anyone found a brand or range that actually holds up to the abuses a small child can throw at them? I’ve reach the point where I’m eyeing up composite toed builders trainers. That seems overkill however, and she doesn’t like the designs available in her size (UK size 2/3).
Has anyone else ran into this problem and found a viable solution? It’s getting both expensive and embarrassing. Oh, and before it’s suggested, my wife has vetoed the boots from a suit of armour.
We tried some little walking boots. Their construction was less practical, and more stylistic. We need to find a brand that will actually hold up better than a normal shoe.

Hm kid hiking boots/shoes? Protect the feet so she’s not kicking stones with cheap shoes that’ll bust her toes.
