It's almost that time of the year again where we need to prepare our Kids for Back to school. Weather it's their first year or last, organising school shoes is an integral part if the Back to School process.

Finding a school shoe that your child will be comfortable in and most importantly, fits with any uniform policies in place at their school can be challenging but we've selected the top school shoes from various brands in both Brown and Black. Brown shoes aren't the most common, but some schools allow it and may be a part of the uniform. Both brown and black school shoes should have quality features that ensure your child can be in them for their 8-hour school day. Obviously, comfort is key but ensuring that they fit properly and allow any room for if their feet are growing at a rapid pace. Ensure to have your kid or teenager's feet measured with our FIT Technology at The Athlete's Foot either in-store or online.
