With the kids back at school, it's a good time to start thinking about investing in shoes that are supportive and sturdy enough to see them through the cooler months ahead. Usually, children tend to fixate on colour and style, leaving it up to the parents to work out which shoes are the right shape and fit for your child.
While cost, quality, and durability are important factors to consider, it’s also essential to prioritise comfort and support. And as the summer draws to a close, a sturdy pair of trainers that will keep kids active throughout the colder days ahead are a smart choice.
Sounds like a lot to ask for in just one pair of shoes, right? Fortunately, Skechers is here to help.
Renowned for creating trainers that are colourful, comfortable, and easy to wear, the footwear giant’s latest collection is the most practical yet. Skechers has a wide selection of bold styles with stretch-lace detailing, hook-and-loop closures, and vibrant colour combinations.
And thanks to the brand’s “Hands Free Slip-in” technology, their latest designs offer a sleek solution to your child’s footwear needs. Known as the "Slip-ins", the lace-free shoes allow children to slip their trainers easily on and off, while the innovative material means that they can be thrown into the washing machine after a mucky day on the playground.
The collection’s unique ankle pillow design™, shock-absorbing soles and stretch fit technology have also been specially created to support your child’s feet while providing maximum comfort.
So, if you want shoes that will tick every item on your checklist, check out our favourite pairs from Skechers’ latest range.
