Grade School Shoes

These styles aren’t just designed for comfort — they’re also built with trends in mind! Leading brands like Nike, UGG, Vans, adidas, Jordan, New Balance, PUMA, and Reebok don’t play around when it comes to creating shoes that are as eye-catching as they are functional. You’ll love the way your shoes look and feel.

What They Need

Kids are active, which means their shoes need to be up to the challenge. You love to run around on the playground at school. You're chasing after friends, running down the hallways, having fun in gym class, and learning how to play new sports. With all of that activity comes the need for serious support, cushioning, and stability. These three factors play major roles in creating comfortable shoes that are designed for every facet of your life.

It’s all in the details. If you’re looking for great performance sneakers, focus on flexibility and bendability to support your foot’s natural movements instead of restricting you while you're in motion.

Arch support is key to prevent pain, strain, and discomfort. Cushioning is a big deal, too, because it provides that much-needed plush touch that feels great against feet and ankles. And don’t forget about the soles! Deep traction is a must to prevent slips and falls. Kids tend to play a little rough at times, so this feature will help you stay on your feet, no matter what.

Playing Style Games

Grade school kids like to choose what they wear — which is why you’ll love mixing and matching your footwear with cozy hoodies, fleece pants, graphic T-shirts, easy shorts, and laid-back jackets. Whether you’re at home or school, on the field or the court, with friends or with family, one thing remains constant: You’ll always need a great pair of supportive shoes to complete your every look.
