Whether you’re shopping for a teeny tot on her first day at primary school, or you’re on the hunt for a pair for a style-conscious teen, we’ve compiled a list of our best-selling and best-value school shoes for girls. With this in mind, here are the recommendations from our in-house footwear experts on the best school shoes for girls for 2022.
Best T-Bar School Shoes
These beautiful soft leather T-bars from Froddo, have a Patent leather outer and leather lining with great arch support for the foot and are also available in a plain leather finish. These T-Bar shoes are easy to fasten and allow an adjustable fit with their one velcro strap.
Fitting information: As a general rule and having fitted these in store for a number of years, Evia is quite a shallow fitting shoe and on the short side. We would recommend sizing up, a half or even a full size. Evia suits an average (F) to wide (G) shaped foot. We have a helpful measuring guide for calculating sizes.
The Ricosta Scarlett school shoe is a favourite at Jump. A classic T-Bar school shoe made from soft leather with a cut-out star pattern. The softest leather uppers & leather lining plus a removeable insole, Scarlett is also available in a Patent finish. Velcro closure for an easy fastening. Rubber soles and a Narrow/Standard width fitting.
Fitting information
Jump would suggest that Scarlett suits a narrow (E) to average (F) width foot. It fits true to size in length. Due to the T-Bar design, this shoe is better suited to a foot with a high arch and not so good for a flat/shallow shape foot. We have a helpful measuring guide for calculating sizes.
