Back To School Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What shoes are best for kids going back to school?

The best back-to-school shoes prioritise comfort, support and durability. Look for features such as good arch support, cushioned insoles, flexible materials, and a proper fit (with room for growth). Breathable fabrics and easy-to-use fastenings (like hook-and-loop straps or elastic laces) are also beneficial. Popular choices often include sturdy athletic sneakers that keep kids ready for classroom learning and playground fun.

How many shoes should you get for back to school?

You generally need two to three pairs of back-to-school shoes. Choose one primary pair of comfortable, durable sneakers for daily wear and activities. A dressier pair of loafers, flats or boots is good for special occasions or uniforms. Kids who participate in sports will need an additional pair of athletic shoes or sports-specific sneakers.

When should you buy back to school shoes?

Ideally, buy back-to-school shoes no more than two weeks before school starts. This accounts for potential growth spurts. While sales often begin in July and August, waiting until late August or early September ensures a better fit and takes advantage of peak back-to-school promotions. If you're buying in person, shop in the afternoon when feet are slightly swollen for the most accurate sizing.
