School Shoes FAQ
What is the purpose of school shoes for children?
Kids wear their school shoes for more than 30 hours per week, so it's important that they fit correctly and support their feet. School shoes are typically made from durable leather to keep your kids feet covered and protected from the elements. Most schools expect students to wear plain black school shoes to promote class unity. When each child is wearing something similar, there is less chance of anyone feeling left out if they can't afford the latest 'status symbol' shoes their classmates might otherwise wear.
How do you choose the right school shoes for your children?
When you shop for school shoes, consider your child's comfort as well as practicality. If your kids love to jump, run and play, a flat or flexible shoe may be more suitable than a boot or style with a heel. Kids school shoes are available with a variety of fastening options such as lacesand adjustable straps . If your kid is unable to independently tie their laces or they have accessibility concerns, buy shoes designed with alternate fastenings or consider slip on styles.
How to label school shoes?
Labelling your child's school shoes is a great way to prevent theft and ensure they are returned to you if your child leaves them at the playground. While strong adhesive labels may seem like the best option, these often slide off during day to day wear. The best way to label a child's school shoes is to use a silver marker and write their name on the sole, insole and the back of the tongue (if the shoe has a tongue). This way, even if one or two names rub off, it's likely one will still remain. Check your kids school shoes periodically to see if the name labels need refreshing. Alternatively, consider sewing a high quality fabric label to the inside of your child's shoes.
How do you polish school shoes effectively?
With proper care and maintenance, school shoes can last many months. Polishing your kids school shoes is an important part of shoe maintenance and should be done weekly. Take note of these easy steps for polishing school shoes:
Prepare the shoes by removing any laces.
Use a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe away any visible dirt or grime.
Place some high quality leather polish or wax product on a clean, soft cloth or rag.
Rub the polish in slow, circular motions until the shoe is covered with a thin layer.
Allow shoes to dry fully.
If your shoes don't appear shiny and polished once dry, repeat these steps.

I chose this style of slippers to wear around the house. I can wear them all year long. They are soft with the memory foam and the covering is so gentle on sore swollen feet. Just what my old feet need.
Review by Mee-Mee L. on 18 Mar 2025review stating Purchase of 3 pairs of sandals
I have always worn Merrell footwear US size 6 & the equivalent was Eutopean size 36. The 2 pairs of Merrell I purchased were US size 6 & they are longer than usual, but the width of the sandals were correct. I then noted on the boxes it had European size 37. Is this why my sandals are longer? Since when did the sizing changed? The ...Read MoreRead more about I have always worn Merrell footwear US
Comfortflex sandals (size6/ size 37), however, were a good fit. I've included photos of the new sandals & couple of old shoe boxes to show the sizes written on them. Now I'm not sure of ordering online as I don’t like the extra length in my shoes. Read LessRead less about I have always worn Merrell footwear US

Review by Maxine W. on 7 Jan 2025review stating My Dream Sandal
With deteriorating mobility issues, I bought these sandals in desperation, to ensure comfort, stability and the support of a shoe but in the freedom of a sandal. With Dakota, I have found exactly that, and am able to wear it comfortably all day, and I have had it approved by the podiatrist, I regularly attend.

Review by Robyn S. on 17 Dec 2024review stating Sketcher joggers
I was quite disappointed when I received my joggers. The photo looked like a musty pink & I liked that colour, but what I received is purple…. . which is not my favourite colour. They fit very well though & are comfortable.

Those shoes are very comfortable and very useful for walking. I couldn't find other styles in my size and a friend of mine suggested me to try the T bar strap shoes. I'm a male and the Harrison Indiana II shoes are so very comfortable!, I wore them in my trip to Seattle Washington.
