Mhmm…, the collective sigh of the nation’s parents at the prospect of shopping for school shoes. It’s a stressful occasion, for sure, especially if you have several pairs of feet to clad for new school shoes doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Get a few things straight before you get started, and your experience can be almost painless. First, accept the fact that the wrong pair of school shoes can seriously impact a child’s confidence. Yes, it’s shallow to base opinions on footwear, and yes, we should actively discourage our kids from paying any head to what their peers think about what they’re wearing.
Below Are 4 Comfortable School Shoes For Kids
Papouelli Louisa Girls Strap Shoes: School Shoes
These shoes are in a league of their own. Popouelli is best-known for its bridesmaids and pageboys shoes – a favourite with the Royal family – but the brand’s school range goes all the way up to size 45 and features two unisex loafers. The Louisa has a Velcro strap and a stitched through rubber sole, and our tester wants to wear them all the time, not just to school.
Treads Brooklyn Boys Leather School Shoes
Our favourite thing about these leather lace ups is the fact that it comes with a 12 month indestructible guarantee – you can return them within 12 months of purchase if they don’t measure up. Designed for active boys, these are smart enough to pass muster with the school principal, yet practical for kicking a ball in the playground. The padded heel collar and cushioned foam footbed add extra comfort, too.
Treads Alberta Mary Jane Girls Leather School Shoes
All tread shoes have dual fit technology, which means you have the option of an extra half size for perfect fit. Just remove the EVA foot bed to convert the shoe to a wider fit. Removing the foot bed also gives more depth – ideal for children who use orthotics. Our tester found these lightweight shoes exceptionally comfortable, and we think they are significantly more robust than other similar shoe design.
Start Rite Tailor Black Leather Boy Lace-up School Shoes
Perfect for older boys looking for smart lace-up school shoes, this pair from Start Rite have a hard-wearing yet flexible sole and a padded ankle which seems to make a huge difference n terms of comfort. These were the only shoes in this style that didn’t need breaking in. They’re comfortable and also affordable.
