Where can I find all black school trainers for children?

Black School Trainers for Children

Based on the current school uniform policies, most schools do not permit black trainers as acceptable footwear for children. The general requirement is for polishable black shoes rather than trainers.

School Footwear Requirements

The typical requirements for school footwear include:

  • Polishable black shoes (not trainers)
  • Uniformly black leather or leather-style material
  • No colored laces, trims, flashing, or stitching
  • Traditional shoe soles rather than trainer-type soles

Most schools specifically prohibit black trainers, even those marketed as "school shoes." However, Stockport School appears to make an exception specifically for all-black leather Nike Air Force 1s, though this is not typical of most school policies.

Where to Find School Shoes

Since black trainers are generally not permitted, you can find appropriate black school shoes at:

  • Dedicated school uniform shops
  • Department stores (John Lewis, Debenhams, etc.)
  • Shoe retailers like Clarks, Kickers, or Start-Rite
  • Supermarkets with clothing departments (during back-to-school season)

Be cautious when purchasing footwear marketed as "school shoes" as some retailers include black leather-look trainers in this category, which may not comply with your school's specific uniform policy.

It's always advisable to check your specific school's uniform policy before purchasing footwear, as requirements can vary between schools.
