What To Look For In Young Kid's School Shoes

Buying new shoes might be fun, but buying new kids' school shoes is not! 

We love shoes, but we're not going to sit here and pretend that we look forward to buying our little one's new kid's school shoes. 

 

We know better than anyone how hard it can be dragging your little ones from store to store to try on different footwear styles for the coming new school year. 

 

Save the tears and the tantrums. We can make the decision process a whole lot easier for you and keep your children's public meltdowns at bay! Knowing what to look for in kids' school shoes will speed up the process and help you narrow down your choices. 

 

So without further delay, let's get started. We hope you find our top seven tips helpful the next time you shop for kids' school shoes! 

 

TIP # 1: WHEN TO BUY? 

 

Although it may sound obvious, try to hold off on buying a new pair of kid's school shoes until just before the school year begins, which is the end of January for those reading along in Australia. 

 

By putting off buying a new pair of kid's black school shoes until the new year begins, you can ensure that they will fit from day one and know that your child will get the most wear out of them. 

 

And, on another note, leaving the footwear purchases until the beginning of the year means you will certainly find a back-to-school bargain! Most footwear retailers will hold annual specials, so you can be sure to pick up a pair of kid's school shoes at a bargain price. 

 

Look no further. Our brand shop, Spendless Shoes, got your back. You can never find a store with these fantastic shoes, exclusive offers and access.

However, if you miss out on a great deal, rest easy knowing that Spendless Shoes' kid's school shoes can be found at a reasonably affordable price year-round. Also, rest easy knowing a new pair of classroom kicks won't break the bank this year! So enjoy your online shopping to enjoy amazing rewards!

 

TIP # 2: WHAT MATERIAL? 

 

In short, we recommend a leather pair of kid's school shoes when it comes to long-wearing and long-lasting. Leather is durable, breathable, and easily moulded to your child's feet, allowing additional comfort. In addition, leather kids' school shoes are water resistant and generally last longer than any synthetic pair of classroom kicks. 

 

Nonetheless, if you prefer a pair of synthetic kid's school shoes, then don't let us lead you astray! 

 

At Spendless Shoes, our range of synthetic kid's school shoes features soft and flexible soles allowing for additional comfort and all-day support. 

 

We have a high volume of new footwear styles that we're sure will work correctly on your feet, outfit, and any event. Check it out in our menu shop on our website or visit our physical store.

You can search by categories, clear filters, or search bar to find your perfect pair of shoes.

 

TIP # 3: DURABLE SOLES 

 

One of the most important things you should look out for in any pair of kid's school shoes is sole durability. The soles on footwear take the brunt of the wear and tear, which is why it is so important to have a pair of kids' school shoes that feature well-made, durable soles. 

 

We recommend looking for soles that feature good quality rubber soles that will last the journey of your little one's busy, fun-filled day. Rubber soles are sturdy, hard-wearing, and also slip resistant. 

 

We recommend also looking for soles that have some flexibility about them. Flexible soles are important for the healthy development of growing little feet. This will allow your children's feet to move more naturally.

TIP # 4: HEEL SUPPORT 

 

Children do a lot of running and playing on the playground, so, with this in mind, it's important to choose a footwear style with good heel support. 

 

Look for a pair of kid's school shoes that supports the whole heel, features cushioning for shock absorption, and good support around the ankle to help with stability. Take this as a sign to invest with these in your shoes so girls and boys will love wearing them all day and night long.

 

You can never find a store with these amazing rewards and offers on our shoes. So let our brand shop be one of your top brands for your top online shopping, and you'll never regret your first purchase and your next purchases. Continue shopping with us!

 

TIP # 5: ALLOW FOR GROWTH 

 

When measuring your children's feet, ensure there is an allowance for foot growth. By that, it doesn't mean allowing enormous amounts of space should be left for growth. Instead, we recommend only a small amount- around 1 to 1.5 centimetres. 

 

It's important not to get tempted to get the next size up in your kid's school shoes- even though they may last twice as long. Any more than 1.5 centimetres, your child's feet will slide around and not be supported in their school shoes. Unfortunately, this can lead to permanent foot damage. 

 

TIP # 6: WEARING IN YOUR KID'S SCHOOL SHOES 

 

This is one of the most important tips we can give you in our option! 

Even though all kid's school shoes are well made, cushioned, and supportive where your child needs the most support, there can still be some small "new shoes" moments. 

 

Not all new footwear staples are instantly comfortable; some footwear will take a little longer to settle into and get used to. Especially for kids' school shoes, leather lace-ups can be stiffer than other footwear styles, which is why it is extremely important to wear in your new kid's school shoes. 

 

We recommend allowing your child to wear their new kid's school shoes around the house for a few days before the school year begins. These shoes will give your little one a chance to wear in their new lace-ups, allow them to mould into their feet, and become a comfortable fit. 

 

TIP # 7: LACES VS. TOUCH-FASTENING KID'S SCHOOL SHOES 

 

This is a common debate that comes up when deciding between kids' school shoes. However, this essentially comes down to the child. It all depends on your child's capabilities. 

 

We recommend picking up a pair of touch-fastening kid's school shoes for younger children who are not able to tie their laces. At the same time, we recommend transitioning into a pair of lace-up kid's school shoes for older children. 

 

The last thing you want is to cause a tripping hazard with untied laces, so be sure to choose the right pair of classroom kicks best suited to your child's capabilities. Then, experience these benefits; just purchase, subscribe and continue shopping with us!
