Are trainer style school shoes allowed?
Often, trainer style school shoes are permitted, assuming they match your schools’ specific dress code. Most schools don’t allow coloured shoes, or trainer shoes with excessive branding, but our Lelli Kelly trainer style school shoes are designed to adhere to most common dress codes by being uniformly black and not over the top with branding.
Whilst our trainer style school shoes are made to look smart and fashionable with dress codes in mind, we’d always recommend double checking with your child' s school before investing in any new shoes, just to be on the safe side.
What you should know about trainer school shoes
Trainer style school shoes fall somewhere in between the definitions of trainers and school shoes, meaning there are some things you should learn about them before deciding they’re the right footwear choice for you.
First of all is material. Most of our trainer style school shoes are made from patent leather, which is allowed at most schools and comes with a number of benefits:
- Easy to clean
- Scuff resistant
- Durable
- Stylish
- Easy to maintain
Some of our trainer school shoes are lined with textile too which is also allowed at most schools, and adds to the comfort for your little ones.
Next, you’ll need to consider what style of fastening is right for your child. Whether it’s adjustable straps, buckles, or velcro, we’ve got something for everyone. Trainer style school shoes often come with velcro fastening, which makes them quick and easy to put on and take off, as well as offering adjustable fitting.
In terms of colour, school shoes almost always need to be black in colour, or at least a dark shade. Our trainer school shoes fit this bill too, we offer mainly black trainer school shoes so that they’ll most likely be permitted under any dress code.
Trainer style school shoes are great for active kids at school because they are comfortable for long periods of time, meaning they can be worn for the entire school day with no issues, especially if you pick the right size (check out the Lelli Kelly size guide for more help).
Our best trainer style school shoes for girls
One of our favourite trainer style school shoes for girls is the Pippa Black Patent Hook and Loop fastening trainers. These black patent shoes should be perfect for any girl hoping to look fashionable whilst remaining comfortable.
Textile lining adds to cushioning on little feet, and a black sole unit provides stability all day every day. The Lelli Kelly logo is embroidered into the straps, but being in black means they don’t stand out too much, so should adhere to dress codes.
Next, the Perla School Black Shiny Side Zip Trainers are ideal as a trainer style school shoe. The shiny black upper is perfectly complemented by a black glitter trim, forming the most adorable shoe.
To fasten, you can use the contrasting black and silver laces, or to save time, the side zips. These shoes are sturdy, durable, cute, and comfortable, and we know your kids will love them.
Gioiello Black Shiny Charm Bracelet Trainers Shoes are another great option for trainer style school shoes for girls. Yet again, a patent upper with shiny glitter trim adds a level of quality to help your kids feel confident. Elastic laces with hook and loop fastening mean that these shoes can be taken on and off easily, and the fit can be adjusted for extra comfort.
Please note, we would recommend that you double check the dress code of your child’s school before purchasing these shoes, as the large gemstones on the outer of each shoe may not be permitted in some cases.
