School shoes need to be sturdy, comfortable and stylish, but they also need to be affordable. The sign of a good pair of school shoes is that they last for at least a year, and that your child feels comfortable whilst wearing them for long periods of time.
One great school shoe option are Lelli Kelly school shoes, thanks to their wide range of options for young girls, and versatile sizes, styles, fastenings and more.
About Lelli Kelly school shoes
We’re sure you, or your little ones, have heard the iconic jingle associated with Lelli Kelly adverts of the mid-2000s. These adverts helped cement Lelli Kelly as a staple of young girls' shoes in the UK, and is partially why they’re so popular in the UK to this day.
Lelli Kelly actually originated in Italy in 1992, with the goal of putting the fun and the funky back into little girls shoes. As an Italian brand, the main UK distributor of Lelli Kelly footwear and products is actually our sister brand! We also work alongside them to sell much of their stock, so we can provide adorable, fun and stylish school shoes to girls all across the country.
Lelli Kelly school shoes are often made using leather or patent leather materials, known for its flexibility, durability and breathability. In terms of pricing, Lelli Kelly school shoes would generally be regarded as a medium-priced option, but they’re well worth it for the quality you get.
Do Lelli Kelly school shoes last a long time?
One of the top selling points of Lelli Kelly is their durability, which means they can last a long time. If properly maintained, you can expect all Lelli Kelly footwear to last at least a year. School shoes need to be especially durable, because they’re worn 5 days a week, for most weeks in a year. They also need to be strong enough to withstand differing weather conditions and seasonal changes.
Lelli Kelly school shoes last a long time because they are made from sturdy materials, in a range of styles.
Lelli Kelly school shoe styles and materials
In terms of materials, Lelli Kelly school shoes are generally made from leather or patent leather, thanks to its durability and breathability combined. Leather is also naturally water resistant, and prone to tears and cracks.
Soles are usually made from hard rubber, which provides excellent grip and foot support, and the shoes are typically lined either with soft leather or textile, adding the level of comfort you’d expect from a Lelli Kelly shoe.
Lelli Kelly offers school shoes in the following styles:
-
Brogue school shoes - Brogues are a classic. They are known for being smart, sturdy and reliable. The Lelli Kelly range of brogues is no different, with the cute twist you’d expect from Lelli Kelly shoes.
-
Mary Jane school shoes - Usually featuring a low heel, flat sole, rounded toe, or all of the above, Mary Jane school shoes are cute school shoes with buckle or hook and loop fastenings.
-
Trainer school shoes - Trainer school shoes are the latest trend when it comes to school shoes. If they are allowed under your school’s dress code, we’d recommend trainer style school shoes.
-
School boots - A slightly sturdier option, school boots can still be cute and stylish. They’re ideal for kids who get cold feet or need that extra support.
