Normally the children wore different types of leather shoes and sandals. Sneakers (trainers) were not common except for sports, although they were allowed for free time at a few schools. We note many kinds of shoes, both brown and black lace-ups and slips-ons. The lace up shoes were the most common, but we noted slips ons at several schools. We also noticed a variety of sandals. Sandals were worn at many schools. The children mostly wore closed-toe sandals, although open-toe sandals were worn at a few schools. There were several different styles of closed-toe sandals. They were worn by both boys and girls. Both boys and girls wore sandals with a center strap like a "T"-strap shoes. Boys wore sandals with a center strap of varied width. Girls school sandals with center straps always had the narrow style. The girls also wore strap shoes without the center strap.
