The Lelli Kelly Patent School Shoe Range

Our Lelli Kelly patent leather shoes have been a favourite amongst kids and parents for over two decades, and it’s easy to see why! Our patent shoes are smart, stylish and best of all, easy to keep clean and maintain.


What are patent school shoes?


Patent school shoes are shoes made from a type of leather that has been treated with a high-gloss coating to create a shiny, durable and reflective surface


The process of glossing the leather makes shoes resistant to scuffs and scratches and also makes them easier to clean


Are patent leather school shoes a good choice for kids?


Patent leather school shoes are a great choice for kids, which is why the style is consistently popular each new school year


Many schools have a strict dress code and will require kids to wear shoes that can be polished. Thankfully, patent leather shoes don’t need to be polished in the same way regular leather shoes need to be. Not only does this make the shoes much easier to maintain, but it also means you don’t need to worry about buying shoe polish!
