Sneakers (trainers) were prohibited for school wear at most schools. The schools generally expected the children to wear either proper leather shoes or sandals for normal school day wear. There were some exceotions. The children were often allowed to bring sneakers to school, but not wear them to school. The use of sneakers varied. Often the children changed into sneakers at morning break, but this was not always permitted. and many children did not bother. Afternoon sports was a different mtter. Often the children put on smeakers for games. This varied deprnding on the particular activity planned. Sometomes the children changed into their phyical education kit. Often they just put on sneakers and did games in their school uniform. As aresult, in the afternoon after games, many children did wear sneakers. Many did not bother to change back to shoes and sandals. Sneakers were for free time and evening activities at a few schools. Day children were expected to put shoes or sneakers baxk own for the trip home. There were a wide range of sneakers worn. We di not notice any schools with uniform sneaker styles.
