One of my good runner friends (3000+ miles a year and owns 100+ pairs of shoes) is the biggest sketchers fans I know of. Apparently their good running shoes aren't even cheap anymore, like $110+.
I imagine these kids aren't wearing super shoes anyway, or else they would know the puma's are faster
I think that says more about inflation than Skechers. Even cheap shoes are expensive now.
I sort of want to do a stake out and bust out on the playground if he gets teased.
Yeah, I agree! Sadly the days of fighting back are over. I have faith he can scrap is needed
Kids are very materialistic.
When I was in middle school, I was probably the worst for me with the bullying. I came from a family that didn't have a whole lot of money. Like even the cheap stuff we had to cut corners with. And well I was fully aware, that there was no real difference between what I had and what they had, it didn't stop the consistent bullying. And the teachers never cared. The other students didn't care in fact some of them would chime in too. And when that's your life for several hours a day 5 days a week... You eventually just get to a breaking point.
I'll never forget the day I basically had a complete emotional breakdown because we were doing back to school shopping at Target, and I saw one of those trapper keepers. With a weird designs on the outside. They were all the rage. And it was like eight bucks I think. My mom did end up buying it for me, but only because her soon-to-be 5th grader, collapsed in the isle crying. I don't remember what I told her, but all I could think about was having that was going to make life just a little bit easier for me.
Kids can be real assholes to other kids.
My school everyone wore the same uniform. The only choice we could make was shoes or sandals 99.9% chose shoes. Sandal wearers got so much shit for it. It was a death sentence.
Kids find a way
Teach your kid to kick some teeth out with his Skechers. I have a feeling that your kid is going to get bullied no matter what he wears.
The solution to bullying is to do as the bully says /s
I was unironically told that I should "keep a lower profile" if I want to avoid being bullied. I spoke to nobody and hugged the walls walking from class to class. I don't know how much lower of a profile I could keep.
Same. The principal and vice principals at the last high school I attended were also the football coaches. Going to them about how the jocks were kicking the shit out of me for being too nerdy and queer for their tastes got me that same "just keep a lower profile" bullshit from the highest authority figures in that dump.
It seems to be working for America right now.
Good luck fighting 200 8 year olds
LPT If you back down a narrow corridor, make them come down single file, you can take them one by one.
If they all tried to dogpile you at the same time I'm fairly certain the laws of thermodynamics would result in a dead you, as well as several dozen well-done kids lol.
Easy as an adult, not so much as a kid with a similar age
Buy him a crowbar.
Ultimate tool against bullying
An old steel rod car antenna is the ultimate. All you have to do is slice the air a few times and the sound alone will keep everyone away
