The summer holidays seem to disappear in the blink of an eye and, before you know it, it'll be time to think about school shoes again.
Whether you're shopping for your little ones' very first pair of school shoes or making the move to adult sizes for your teen, finding the right fit can make all the difference to a comfortable start to the new school year.
We have carefully selected a range of barefoot-friendly school shoes that combine practical, school-ready styling with the foot-friendly features families love.
For our Back to School 2026, we are delighted to have lots of new styles and new brands, including:
Primigi
Primigi Taylor School Shoes | Kids Barefoot Black
Froddo Barefoot
Froddo Canvas School Shoes | Black Barefoot Plimsolls
Froddo Alexandra School Shoes | Patent Barefoot Fit
Depending on your school's uniform policy, the material and finish of a school shoe can be a lovely way for children to express their personality and stay within the rules! Froddo's black canvas shoes are a great lightweight alternative to traditional leather shoes. They have a great breathability factor and are wonderfully flexible; they do for PE days and busy school days. Ideal for kids who never stop.
For the kids who like to shine, patent leather is the way to go. Froddo Barefoot's Alexandra combines practicality with polish - a full-coverage shoe in beautiful glossy patent leather.
Garvalin
Garvalin Mary Jane School Shoes | Black Barefoot Kids
Garvalin School Shoes | Black Barefoot Kids Shoes
Garvalin have gained a devoted following with their Bluey range of trainers, and their school shoes are bound to be just as popular. They sit in that sweet spot between traditional school shoe styling and genuinely comfortable everyday wear. Ideal for kids who spend their break times running, climbing and generally making the most of outdoor play. With a range of fastening options, they're also a great choice for younger children who are still mastering dressing independently.
