Stepping in Style: The Best Kids Shoes for Back to School
In case you didn’t notice, we’re fully in back-to-school mode here at The Everymom. We’ve shared everything from back-to-school traditions you can start with your kids to items you can pick up for yourself while back-to-school shopping for your kids, and we’ve also talked about all the kids gear your child might need for a brand new year. Now, it’s time to talk about the best kids shoes for back to school.
While you might be focused on the cute first day of school outfits and all of the items on their school supply list, we can’t overlook the need for a new pair of shoes (or two) for the upcoming year. Kids’ feet grow quickly, so there’s a good chance your child may have already outgrown last year’s shoes.
We understand that you might not want to spend a lot on a pair of shoes that your kids will only wear for a year (or less), so we’ve compiled this list of the best kids shoes for back to school (including some editor favorites!), at every price point. Check them out below:
