Sherie: yes! I forgot about Gro-Shu... I had a good pair of them too and yes leather lined... but another thing is I don't like velcro on shoes, buckles last longer I find... but other wise I agree, a good brand.

Michelle: there's a shoe shop in Fairfield (Melbourne) that sells Doc Martens for kids but their range is getting more and more limited They are the best shoes! indestructible and always polish up good as new despite being scuffed like all kids do! The soles are soooo long lasting and are flexible but don't get worn down... I just love them.
