What To Look For When Buying School Shoes

  • Choose school shoes which are appropriate for your child’s school policy. Some schools disallow embellishments, patent shoes etc. so check first!
  • Choose velcro straps for younger kids rather than laces or fiddly buckles as this will make it easier for your child to put on their own shoes everyday.
  • Look for comfortable, flexible shoes so that your child won’t have trouble playing in, in the playground.
  • Make sure you choose shoes which are the right size in width and length. It is essential you measure your child’s feet just before you purchase them, be it in store or with your own Clarks measuring gauge at home.

Buying School Shoes Top Tips!

Think Ahead

The school shoes rush always seems to happen just before the kids go back to school!

Think ahead and buy your kids shoes in good time, so that you don’t get left with limited choices in sizes and styles.

Kids feet do grow quickly but a month or so more won’t make much difference.

Buy Online

Typically, shopping for kids school shoes means queuing to get their feet measured in-store and buying what is available in the shop.

This is a perfectly good way to buy shoes, but you also have the option of buying shoes online from your favourite store or website.

You may find you have more choice in sizes and styles doing it this way.

You can always have their feet measured in-store first, just so you are confident you are getting the correct size or you could use your own Clarks foot measuring gauge.

Make Sure They Fit

When the shoes arrive let your child try them on, ideally indoors on carpet, so that the soles stay clean.

Don’t remove any tags or labels until you are sure you are happy with them and they fit correctly.

To check the shoes fit, first test for the heel grip by holding the ankle with one hand and pulling down gently on the heel of the shoe.

It should stay in place. Then feel over the top of the shoe and check there are no gaps, especially between the shoe and the heel.

Then, feel around the ankle to make sure the shoe does not touch the anklebone, as, if it does, it could rub and cause blisters.

Lastly, press down at the end of the shoe to feel for your child’s toe.

There should be some growing room, but not too much.
