School can be an exciting journey; children need shoes to help them navigate it successfully. Their footwear should adhere to uniform rules while remaining comfortable for long hours and accommodating boisterous break times.
These durable boys school shoes feature an eye-catching patent finish, making them easy to wipe clean while offering cushioned comfort around the collar and footbed. Furthermore, their double-touch fastening straps make these an ideal solution for little fingers that haven’t yet grasped tying laces.
Durability
Many school shoe styles are constructed of leather, which is hard-wearing and water resistant; easily wiping clean of any marks or food debris makes carefree maintenance. Synthetic materials may also be easy to clean and include anti-odour technology that keeps them smelling fresher for longer.
Kickers are well-known for making durable boys school shoes that are both hard-wearing and long-lasting, like their smart lace-up style with a chunky cleated sole that stands up well to serious wear and tear.

Clarks and Ecco offer great options for creating more of a classic aesthetic, offering width options from C through H (their system is unique compared to other shoe brands).

At Spendless, we equip our styles with durable soles so your boys are comfortable when out in the open air, moving fast or participating in other physical activities they love doing – such as playing sports!
