These Back-to-School Styles Make the Grade

At Schuler Shoes, we're serious students when it comes to providing quality kids' footwear. Overachievers, even. We think A+ back-to-school shoes should feel as good as they look and promote healthy foot development. We also think they should be functional and made to last until the final bell rings.

We've done our homework and rounded up six of the latest A+ styles to get your kiddos ready for the 2016 school year.

From dressy to durable, we have footwear appropriate for the classroom to sports practice and everywhere in between—with many styles available in extended sizes and widths. And remember that when it comes to finding the right shoe, fit is key. So step in and get your child an expert footwear fitting with a Fit Specialist at your neighborhood location

 

Polished and Poised

Dressy shoes are a kids' wardrobe essential for everything from school uniforms to recitals. You'll appreciate how easily the classic, tailored styles of pediped® can be dressed up or down. We brought the award-winning brand into our stores this fall at the request of customers. We love their emphasis on the health of children's feet. In fact, all pediped® shoes have been approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association for promting healthy foot development. 

 

1. The Sarah Mary-Jane by pediped®

Sarah benefits

 

The Sarah mary-jane is feminine and timeless. The flower detail and pink lining adds a charming touch your girly girl will love. Frustated at the thought of how quickly she'll grow out of them? You can buy shoes a half size bigger thanks to the Flex Fit System. The Sarah comes with additional insoles that can be inserted for a snug fit then removed for room as your child's foot grows, extending the life of the shoe.

Available in preschool sizes 7.5-2 at our Maple Grove, Highland Park, Woodbury, Southtown, and St. Cloud stores. Please note that size availability is constantly changing with inventory. For the best selection, shop early.   

 

2. The Channing Sneaker by pediped®

Channing benefits

 

The Channing's sleek European-inspired design gives it win-win versatility: sporty enough for your little guy yet handsome enough to pair with khakis for a dressy event. And even if it feels like your son's feet grow over night, the Flex Fit System allows you to buy the shoes a half a size bigger so he can wear them longer. 

Available in grade school sizes 9-4.5 at our Maple Grove, Woodbury, Southtown, and St. Cloud stores. Please note that size availability is constantly changing with inventory. For the best selection, shop early. 

 

Ready for Adventure

If your student likes to spend a lot of time outside or tends to be hard on footwear, they need shoes ready to keep up with their adventurous spirit. Styles made to face the elements can provide the durability and features needed for playing that doesn't skip a beat. Keen is one of our favorite brands for outdoor-ready kids shoes, infusing many popular design elements from their adult styles into their children's collection. 

 

3. The Oakridge Hiking Shoe by Keen

Oakridge benefits

 

The Oakridge is a tried-and-true rugged outdoor shoe. Very popular at our stores, this style is nearly indestructable. Waterproof materials keep feet dry in the rain and around bodies of water. The bungee laces are easy and kid-friendly so your youngster can help dress themselves before heading off to class. This style also comes in an alternative color for girls and a mid cut

Available in preschool sizes 9-13 and grade school sizes 1-6. Grade school sizes in pictured style and color available at all stores. Other availability varies with styles and sizes.

4. The Jasper Sneaker by Keen

Jasper benefits

 

Featuring an old-school climbing design, the soft, flexible material of the Jasper makes it ideal for everyday play at home or on the playground. A padded collar cradles the ankle, and a mesh lining adds breathability for all-day comfort. The thick, rugged rubber outsole is durable enough to stand up to the roughest wear and tear. This style also comes in an alternative color for boys and an alternative lacing system for grade school sizes.

Recess, gym class, and after school sports call for athletic shoes that will help your kid feel comfortable and fast. New Balance, like Keen, has many adult takedown styles that feature a kid-appropriate version of the brand's cutting-edge footwear technologies. The blend of function and fashion gives youngsters the performance technology they need and the styles they want. Parents will also appreciate the extended size and width options available in many styles.
