Collection: Girls Trainer School Shoes

Girls trainer school shoes bring together the two things every school shoe shop has to solve: comfort and dress-code approval. Each pair in this collection is styled like a trainer — cushioned sole, breathable lining, easy hook & loop or lace fastenings — but finished in smart black or patent leather uppers that meet most school uniform policies. They're the middle ground between our classic school shoes and everyday trainers, built for girls who want to run around at playtime and still look the part in assembly.

More about Girls Trainer School Shoes

Why choose trainer style school shoes? Trainer school shoes suit active girls who find traditional school shoes stiff or restrictive. With cushioned insoles, flexible soles and secure fastenings, styles like the Pippa Black Patent Trainers and Rosa Low Stars Trainer Shoes let girls move between lessons, lunch and the playground in one pair of shoes — no changing required. For a lower-priced everyday option, the Adelaide Hook & Loop Trainer Shoes are a popular pick too.

Are trainer school shoes allowed at school? Most schools that ask for plain, low-branding footwear will accept trainer style school shoes, which is why our range sticks mainly to black and patent finishes with minimal branding. Dress codes vary school to school though, so it's always worth double-checking with your child's teacher before you buy. For more detail, read our guide to trainer style school shoes for girls.
