Amazon has reduced the Dream Pairs Girls Star Mary Jane Flats to £19.99, down from £24.99, saving shoppers 20% on the school shoe style that parents have described as 'very comfortable' and 'cheap and cheerful'.
Features and design
The shoes, available in black patent leather, matte black and navy, come in sizes 1 to 13. They feature a lightweight sole, a 'unique traction outsole' for grip, and star-shaped cut outs. An arch support insole, padded heel, and roomy round toe are designed for comfort and growing feet, with an easy hook-and-loop closure.
Parent reviews
One Amazon shopper said: "Shoes were delivered on time, the right size, fit nicely and my daughter loves them." Another wrote: "Cheap and cheerful, my four-year-old is a shoe savage and these have lasted longer than most." A third added: "Brilliant shoes. Very comfortable and look great! Happy daughter."
However, some buyers noted issues with fit. One buyer commented: "Size was okay, but they were too narrow." Another reviewer, who gave five stars, said: "Comfortable and true to size. These shoes were a great purchase for my 8-year-old daughter. I ordered a size 2, and they fit her perfectly so they are true to size. They were comfortable right out of the box, with no break-in period needed. She loves wearing them and hasn’t complained about any discomfort, even after a full day of activities. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase."
