Wear your new school shoes before school started?

Yep, but took a lot of begging...

I'm currently the meanest mom ever. He can literally destroy a pair of sneakers in less than a day though.

Eh I could wear them but it was to the mall or like the movies. Definitely not to play in

I don't know how to answer this! 

I went to Catholic school and I never wanted to wear my shoes when I wasn't also wearing my uniform.

not no, but HELL no. my mom would have flipped her lid. She will probably twitch when I tell her I'm not buying DS new shoes for his first day of school, or a new outfit. He will wear what's in his closet.

Same! We had uniform shoes in high school. I didn't even wear them outside of my school. I wore sneakers into school and kept my school shoes in my locker. Everyone did. They were hideous.

Greg went to Catholic school too, so he has no idea about new school sneakers because he always had dress shoes. He was about to tell him yes, and was shocked I said no. My mom never, ever let us touch anything new for school until the first day. It was like freaking Christmas morning waiting to put those shoes and clothes on.

I could wear them but I never wanted to! I always wanted to make sure everything was new and perfect for school.
