The Best Girls School Shoes

The Best Girls School Shoes

As the summer holidays come to an end, it's time to start gathering your kids back to school essentials.


Whether you’re shopping for your youngest who is just starting school, or your little girl who is making your way through primary school, at Hirst, we have a great selection of girls' school shoes to choose from.


What types of school shoes are best for girls?


Some of the best school shoes for girls include brogues, loafers, classic T-bar and traditional ballerina styles of shoes.


When you’re looking for girls' school shoes, look for chunky soles for additional support, as well as soft leather linings to prevent sores or blisters forming. Leather and patent finishes are also a good material to choose thanks to their comfortable and long-lasting properties.


What types of school shoes do girls need?


When you’re looking for a pair of girls' school shoes, you should be looking for ones that are black and and can be polished. Try to stay away from materials like canvas or suede, since they don’t usually meet school dress codes and tend to wear much quicker than leather.


Try to stay away from too much embellishment, and instead go for ones which are somewhat plain, flat and sensible.


How long should girls’ school shoes last?


Ideally, your kids' school shoes should last them until they no longer fit into them. However, girls can be energetic when it comes to playing on the playground and exploring outside during their break times, so we understand that they won’t always last as long as you expected them to.


As a general rule of thumb, taking good care of your kids' school shoes by regularly polishing and cleaning them will help to extend their lifetime.
