Finding School-Compliant Shoes
When purchasing Start-Rite school shoes, keep in mind your school's specific requirements. Many schools require:
- Plain black or brown shoes (check your school's colour policy)
- Formal style appropriate for school environment
- Full leather or polishable leather substitute
- No obvious branding, sports logos, or decorations
- No trainer-style shoes, canvas footwear, or plimsolls
- Appropriate fastenings (younger children may prefer Velcro)
Before purchasing, always check your school's specific uniform policy, as requirements can vary between schools. Many Start-Rite styles are designed specifically to meet typical school requirements.
Start-Rite offers a foot measuring service in many locations to ensure the perfect fit for growing feet, which is particularly valuable for school shoes that will be worn daily for extended periods.
