What to prioritise when choosing school shoes on a budget
There are two main factors you should prioritise when choosing school shoes on a budget. These are durability and comfort.
Whether your kids are running around on the playground or playing on the field, their shoes need to be durable enough to withstand a range of different activities. Choosing a high quality pair of shoes will ensure they last longer and see them through the school year.
Kids spend a lot of time in their school shoes, which is why it is so important they have a pair of shoes that will keep their feet comfortable and pain free all day.

At Lelli Kelly Shop, we have a variety of affordable school shoes for you to choose from. Listed below are some of our top picks:
Everyday school shoes
Our Navy Blue Leather Classic School Dolly Shoes F Width are a classic pair of school shoes that come in a soft navy leather finish. These shoes feature Lelli Kelly embroidered across the velcro strap fastening.
They are also a great choice if you prefer your kids to have a pair of school shoes that can be polished.
The Black Patent Tiffany School Dolly Shoes are a great choice if you’d prefer your kids to have patent school shoes. They are also great for those who attend schools that have specific guidelines on what they can wear.
These shoes feature a hook and loop fastening, making them the ideal school shoe since kids can easily put them on and take them off without any fuss.
Another great pair of patent shoes are the Linda Black Patent Dolly Shoes. The adjustable strap makes them suitable for most feet, whilst the patent finish means you don’t need to worry about polishing.
These shoes also feature a diamante jewel that sits on the front of the shoe, which is great for schools that don’t have as strict a dress code.
