Where can I find black flat school shoes?
Black Flat School Shoes
You can find black flat school shoes at various retailers including:
- High street shoe shops such as Clarks, Shoezone, and Deichmann
- Department stores like Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, and Debenhams

School Shoe Requirements
When purchasing school shoes, ensure they meet these requirements:
- Plain black with no logos, motifs, or coloured stitching
- Made of polishable leather or leather-style material (no suede)
- Formal in style and appropriate for a business environment
- Black laces (if lace-up style)
- Minimal heel (no more than one inch)
Note: The following styles are typically NOT acceptable:
- Trainers or sports brands (including Converse and Vans)
- Canvas or plimsoll-style shoes
- Suede shoes
- Boots (except specific styles for Years 12/13)
- Shoes with coloured logos, stitching, or reflective areas
If you're unsure about a particular style, it's best to check with the school before making a purchase. Many schools have specific uniform policies with visual examples of acceptable and unacceptable footwear.
Most retailers begin stocking their back-to-school ranges from July onwards, so this is often a good time to find the best selection.
