I do not possess a pair of trainers. Haven't done for the last 12 years or so.

I think you would have to wear spiked running shoes to do any damage to a parquet floor. Or perhaps an ancient pair of football boots with nailed-on studs.
My school also had parquet flooring, but you would have been sent home if you turned up wearing anything than regulation black lace-up leather shoes.

My hob nail boots weren't allowed. And yet somehow my mate got away with it, and he'd painted the steel toe caps red.

We weren't allowed to wear stilettos, unless worn with stockings having a perfectly straight seam running up the back!
My school was so strict we would be punished if we were seen out of school in school uniform, but not wearing the school cap.

I am getting through more pairs of trainers than I care to think about ever since I started running between 3 to 5 km a day. Decent ones are not cheap either.

I think my primary school was stricter. Three of us were caned for running on the way back from church and another youth got caned for 'Not having your tie done up properly.'
Persistently bad handwriting was also punished with the cane. Girls and boys, although girls only got it on the hand, we had it on the backs of our legs.
Nowadays they'd do prison time for that stuff, with glass in their food. But back then we just took it for granted.

LoL, we did handwriting for homework, had elecution lessons, and were taught Latin and Greek.
Looking back, it's hard to believe how 'old fashioned' it was; but my parents were happy to pay the fees, and it didn’t do me any harm.
