With packed lunches and yawns at the breakfast table just around the corner, new shoes are always a way to battle the back-to-school blues.

These four shoes are fashionable, practical, and affordable, and available both online and in-store at Clarks.

Girls are up first, with the Relda Wish Kid shoe being an all-rounder.
