School shoes are an essential part of your little ones’ school uniforms, but they can also represent one of the most taxing buying decisions. After all, many items of your child’s school clothing are specified within their uniform policy - for example, blazers with the school’s logo. Other more generic items, such as trousers, skirts and shirts are fairly simple to source as it’s just a question of getting the right size and making sure your child will be warm enough… but what about shoes?
When it comes to choosing school shoes, it’s important to opt for something sturdy, a pair of shoes that can take the rough and tumble of playground activities while supporting your child’s developing feet. Not only does this encourage good foot health in the future, but it can also help to protect your child’s feet from injuries and falls in the present.
