Kids' School Shoes & Trainers: Term-Time Classics

When the new term calls, our school trainers have you covered, from the classroom through to after-school activities. You'll find kids' black school shoes that pass the dress code, with classic design details that keep their look grounded. Think of our high top and low top trainers as a simple canvas for them to add their own unique flair, wherever it takes them. The iconic Chuck Taylor ankle patch and All Star license plate feature on all our models as a mark of Converse quality and heritage.

Hardwearing icons

You want kids' school trainers that'll last through the first term and beyond. Look for shoes with hardwearing canvas uppers and scuff-resistant rubber toe caps for everyday wear and active play, not to mention that timeless Chuck Taylor look. For a premium feel that's even more hardwearing, choose durable girls' school trainers and boys' school shoes in luxe leather. Converse kids' shoes are original icons with the unmistakable ankle patch, sized down to fit small feet.

Shoes designed for all-day play

Just because they're going back to school doesn't mean there isn't time to play. Our kids' school shoes are packed with comfort features. Think soft foam cushioning underfoot that supports every skip and dash around the playground. To help promote natural foot development for growing kids, look for styles in wide-width fits for additional comfort. These allow toes to spread naturally and offer more room as children race around.

Strap into their favourite trainers

Our school trainers for older kids feature classic laces in high top and low top iterations. And for the little ones, find toddler-friendly shoes that are easy to get on and off. These designs have our timeless skate park attitude, but with three adjustable straps instead of laces for convenience. They've also got padded tongues and collars for a little extra comfort.

PE shoes with a good grip

If you're looking for non-skid, flexible PE shoes, we got you. Converse kids' trainers feature vulcanised rubber soles, which increase traction and give a good grip on indoor and outdoor surfaces. They're non-marking, too. You'll find low top Chuck Taylor All Stars in uniform-friendly shades of white and black just as suited to the classroom as the school gym. Tall rubber sidewalls add stability and help protect the canvas (and their feet) from everyday knocks and bumps.

All ready for class

Still got gear to stock up on? Make sure the kids are fully kitted out for the new term with accessories from our back-to-school collection. Think roomy backpacks with adjustable straps, soft and stretchy socks and heavyweight canvas totes that are ideal for sleepovers. If they're eager to show their classmates more of their personality, we have school shoes to help. Let them tailor their look with our customisation tool. Choose a colour and a material, add a special twist with custom laces, patches and exclusive prints – then finish off the look with a personal text in embroidery.
