Some schools set a uniform type of footwear. Other schools might set guidelines, but permitted a wide degree of variation as to the footwear the children wore. There might be considerable variations during the school day. Boys often put on tennis shores (trainers) for morning break when playing outside or of course for games in the afternoon. Many schools banned sneakers (tainers) except for sports or sometimes morning break. Other schools allowed them when the children were allowed to change out of their uniforms in the afternoon. Some boarding schools allowed to be worn for free time, ore common was for the children to wear their daily classroom fottwear in the afternoon and evening. Some schools allowed traoners in the afyertoon after classes. A factor here was the amount of freetime allowed anf the range of activities persued by the children. Schools varied as to how rigidly the rules were enforced.
