Aoibhinn lives in Dubai and has spent her Summer visting family and friends in the UK. With the new school year just around the corner, Aoibhinn popped by the Golden Boot to update us on her Summer adventures and to get fitted for a new pair of school shoes.
My name is Aoibhinn, I am nine years old and I live in Dubai!
We travelled to the UK this Summer to visit family and friends and of course, to get fitted for a new pair of school shoes. Even though I live in a different country we still manage to arrange our home visits for when I need new school shoes! We don’t shop anywhere else as it’s important for me to be comfy all day long whilst looking smart, especially in the heat.

My favourite subjects at school are PE and music. I love netball, it’s my favourite game and I’m in the team with my best friends.
Outside of school I love spending time with my brother and sister at the beach (when it’s not too hot!) and riding my bike.
I love reading and my favourite book at the moment is the School of Good & Evil by Soman Chainani. I’ve read all 5 books twice already.
I LOVE getting new shoes and the Golden Boot has lots of lovely styles to choose from. I like the patent ones best and mum agreed because she says that they’re easy to clean! The shoes look great and I like the Velcro strap as it means that I can change into my trainers quickly for PE lessons and to ride my bike home!

Trudi checked my feet with a measuring guage before fitting the new shoes and I was allowed to test them out around the shop. The shop is really cool, it looks like a train station and is much more interesting than other shops where we live. I sent a photo to my friends and they’re now buying the same shoes too!

I’m going to wear my shoes around the house before I go back to school as I’ve been wearing my trainers all Summer and I want them to be comfy for my first day. I can’t wait to go back now to see all my friends and meet my new year 5 teacher.
