Finding the Perfect Back-to-School Shoes for You

The best school gear starts with the feet. Supportive, sturdy shoes protect toes and help kids move freely, setting the stage for comfortable, carefree days. Do you remember your favorite school shoes? Luckily, we have a wide range of options, from classic designs to modern styles, to suit all foot shapes, tastes, and ages. We want to be able to help you find the perfect pair of shoes that your child is proud of and will love to wear until they are old enough to stop wearing them. Rain or shine, I wish you happy and stylish feet.

Easy to open, easy to close

Choose shoes that are easy to put on and take off, so getting ready for school is a breeze, and it doesn’t take long to change shoes for gym class!

Look for shoes with easy-to-fasten systems like Velcro tags. Think about how practical they are for young children to use on their own. In addition to being convenient for children to use independently, Velcro is also convenient if your child’s feet are wider or narrower than average, as they can be adjusted as needed without affecting the line or comfort of the shoe. Brands like Naturino and Jacadi Paris that provide extra support for the heel and ankle are also great options for narrow feet, and for wider feet, Geox and Lelli Kelly are both good options.

Breathability is another factor to consider, so look for natural leather insoles or specially designed insoles that actively aid in air circulation (another Geox specialty). For a truly durable shoe, it’s always a good idea to have a sturdy sole and wide outer rim as a cushion – we recommend the Children’s Classics and Tommy Hilfiger – and if you want extra bouncy heels and toes, Geox’s built-in protection means less wear and tear and smarter shoes that last longer.

classic

Take a classic class in these traditionally made shoes that feel comfortable, look beautiful, and have plenty of room for your toes to move.

A classic shoe made with traditional craftsmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation and will never go out of style. It’s no wonder that the royals are big fans of sweet T-line shoes and Mary Jane shoes, which always look great with crisp white socks and school tights. But there’s more to the sleek look of the shoe, though—the often wider toe box means there’s plenty of room for maneuver on the foot, while the perforated pattern not only adds decorative detail, but also breathability.

While these adorable shoes make the most of ancient technology that is built to last, many of our more traditional shoe brands also use modern innovations to provide extra comfort. Young Soles creates ultra-light and flexible outsoles, and you’ll find subtle Velcro fasteners from brands like Mayoral to Children’s Classics. If you’re looking for shoes that can be sustainably made with leather uppers and natural rubber soles, we have plenty of options, and anyone looking for a leather-free, vegan option will be pleased to see that Geox, Young Soles, and others offer classic faux leather alternatives.

School Trainers

Choose sneakers with special features that will give them an edge on the playground or runway.

Before you start shopping for sneakers, check your child’s school’s rules regarding logos and colors, and a good tip is to avoid breathable mesh fabrics if your child is going to exercise in a humid environment. weather, because the rain can pass.”

Some schools prefer sneakers with white soles that don’t leave marks on the floor for indoor activities, and we have plenty of options in this regard. Anyone looking for shoes with no logo or at least a beautiful logo will find that Geox, Bobux, and Calvin Klein offer some great options.

For enthusiasts of sports, we recommend looking for high-grip soles from Tommy Hilfiger and Geox. For those who have sustainability high on their children’s agenda, we have eco-friendly designs from French fashion brand VEJA. As always, adjustable velcro fasteners are a great idea for anyone who needs training shoes for children with narrow or wide feet, and of course, a quick departure for those who need to change them in a hurry!
