Popular school shoe styles

T-Bar School Shoes

A classic but popular style of school shoes are the T-Bar shoes, which are usually accompanied by a chunky sole unit from a comfortable, yet fashionable look.

 

The Frankie Black Patent T-Bar School Shoes are a great pair of T-bar shoes that are bang on trend for the 2023 school year. These shoes come with an easy to fasten buckle at the top of the T and also feature a pull loop on the back of the shoe to make it even easier to put them on.

Padded leather lining also provides additional comfort that you’d expect from any pair of Lelli Kelly Shoes.

 

The Chloe Black Patent T-Bar School Shoes are another classic pair of T-bar school shoes, however, they come in more of a classic style of school shoe with a patent leather finish. These shoes feature an easy to fasten velcro strap, as well as soft leather lining to keep feet comfortable all day.

Lace-up School Shoes

Lace-up school shoes are a great choice for older kids who don’t want to wear velcro shoes anymore, and they also come in some popular styles too.

 

The Elaine Black Patent Lace Up School Shoes are a perfect pair of school shoes if you’re looking for a fuller style of shoe. These shoes come with a choice of laces, either velvet or traditional laces, which can be changed as your child wishes.

The Elaine shoes also come with a super supportive chunky sole unit and padded leather linings for a comfortable fit all day.

 

 

Another popular style of lace up shoes are the traditional brogues, such as our Kimberly Black Patent Brogue School Shoes. With a patent leather finish and a traditional brogue effect on the shoe uppers, these shoes will keep your kids feet protected and stylish throughout the school year.

They also feature Lelli Kelly branding embroidered across the outer side of the shoe, alongside a silver heart charm which can be detached from the lace fastenings.

Velcro shoes

We have a great selection of Lelli Kelly velcro shoes to choose from, and thanks to their kid friendly design, they are just as popular with kids as they are parents.

 

Our Maisie Black Bow Patent School Shoes will have your kids dressed in style for school, thanks to the patent leather finish and a fashionable removable material bow that sits on the velcro strap.

Like others, these shoes feature a chunky sole unit for extra comfort, as well as soft leather linings for a blister free fit.
