The amount of different types of school shoes on offer can be a little daunting - we’ve pulled a list together of all the types of school shoes to make life much simpler when it comes to choosing the right pair for your child.
What makes a good school shoe?
There are a few factors which make a school shoe good. The first factor is that the shoe must be durable - this is because this shoe will most likely be your child’s most worn shoe.
The second factor is that the shoes must be comfortable. Just like the first factor, if you are wearing these shoes a lot, you don’t want them to be damaging your child's feet.
The final factor is style. People feel most happy and comfortable when wearing their favourite style of shoe. When all these factors are met, you've found the perfect school shoe for your child.
The different types of school shoes for kids
When it comes to style, Lelli Kelly has that in abundance. They have a multitude of styles and sizes to suit every child's wants and needs.
Patent School Shoes
Patent leather is a high-gloss, smooth and soft type of leather. The Black Patent Colourissima School Shoes are customisable - the velcro strap is decorated with an interchangeable bow and can also be coloured in using the felt tips provided.
Trainer Style School Shoes
Trainer style school shoes are popular with young children as they are comfy but remain stylish. Some schools are a little more lenient on school shoe policies, meaning that your child is allowed to wear any fully black shoes. This allows them to get their favourite trainers in full black to wear for school, such as the Lelli Kelly Sibilla Trainers.
T-bar School Shoes
T-bar school shoes are mainly aimed at girls - they are very dainty and cute shoes which are bang on trend for the older girls at school. The Meryl T-Barbrogue Black School Shoe has a single buckle strap for easy fastening. It is detailed through a brogue design and the sole is chunky, allowing for extra support and more comfort when your child is running around the playground.
Canvas School Shoes
A canvas shoe is more of an athletic, comfy style shoe. The material itself is canvas, which is made up of cloth made from hemp. In PE, your child will most likely need canvas pumps to wear on their feet. The Lily Canvas School Pumps are a great choice as they are velcro and are stylishly decorated with a black bow.
Boots as School Shoes
Depending on your child's likes, boots can be a great school shoe choice, especially during the winter. Lelli Kelly’s Ruth Black Patent Ankle Boot has elasticated fabric along the sides and a zip down the inside to allow for ease when taking on and off.
Lace Up School Shoes
Lace up shoes show smartness and sophistication. With Lelli Kelly’s Rochelle School Shoes, they have a velour lace fastening. The heel of the shoe is also padded which provides extra comfort and more support to the feet.
