On Our Terms: Back to School with schuh

Back to school is round the corner – and a fresh pair of shoes are an essential. Let your kid express their individuality through their kicks of choice – whether they opt for a classic loafer from Dr. Martens or on-trend New Balance trainer, they’ll find the perfect shoe to complete their uniform on their terms at schuh!

While it can be tempting to leave the school shoe search to the last minute, it’s essential to shop sooner rather than later. With searches for school shoes doubling between July and August, there’s no time like the present to secure those cool classroom-ready kicks!

Classic Styles for School Days

For kids that want to keep it classic, you can’t go wrong with a pair of loafers or brogues. The Dr. Martens Adrian Loafer is a favourite of ours – this classic style is crafted with soft black leather upper, stylish tassel detailing, and iconic yellow stitching for that iconic Dr. Martens look – perfect for kids who want to look smart with a touch of edge.

Our own schuh range also features a range of styles that are the perfect balance of style and classroom-ready smart. Keep it classic with one of our loafer styles like the Lorretta or Lincoln, or a stylish brogue like the Luminary.

For a twist on classic school styles, Kickers is another one of our favourites. The Kick Kori Mary Jane Bow is a super cute variation on a classic mary jane shoe with bow detailing – perfect for adding a fun, cute touch to school uniform.

Cool, Comfy, & Classroom-Ready

Of course, smart shoes aren’t the only way to go! Black trainers are a great option for kids looking for something cool and comfy. With styles from adidas, New Balance, and more, schuh has a range of classroom-ready trainers that are perfect for looking cool for school.

New Balance is the go-to brand for super comfy styles that will take your kid through days spent in the classroom, playground, and beyond. Our current favourite is the New Balance 740: with its 2000s’-esque silhouette, silver detailing, and elite cushioning, this trainer will keep your kid looking cool and feeling comfy all day long. Another classroom-ready star is the New Balance 9060, featuring a bold silhouette and all-black colourway for a streetwear-inspired look that cool kids will love.

Alternatively, opt for a classroom classic with styles from adidas, Vans, and Converse. Go for a clean, low profile look with the iconic Adidas Gazelle, a cool skate-inspired vibe with the classic Vans Old Skool, or a laidback, timeless look with the Converse All Star Hi.
