Brogue School Shoes: Which to Choose

Brogue School Shoes: Which to Choose

Brogue school shoes are a popular choice amongst many parents thanks to their classic style and durable design. 


At Hirst Footwear, we have a great choice of different brogue school shoes to choose from for the upcoming school year. 


Are brogues good school shoes?

 

Yes, brogues make for great school shoes and they are a classic and versatile option for both boys and girls. They are great for older kids who want a more grown up style whilst also having comfortable shoes for all day wear. 


Whilst you may think brogues are more of a traditional shoe, there are many new styles out there that take the stylish and smart elements of brogues and the comfort of modern shoes. 


Can children wear brogues to school?

 

Yes, as long as your school uniform guidelines don’t say otherwise, brogues are typically perfectly fine to wear to school. In fact, many schools may encourage kids to wear brogue and brogue style shoes. 


How durable are brogue style school shoes?


Brogues tend to be made of either leather or patent leather, making them super durable and really easy to clean. Thanks to the chunky sole unit that most brogue style school shoes have, they offer additional support and prevent kids from having slips or trips that could damage the shoes. 


However, just like any shoe, how long brogues school shoes last really depends on how much your kids wear them, whether they play outside in them a lot and their walking patterns.
