Back to School 2025

The new school year is just around the corner, which means that it’s time to update your kid’s school shoes! Features of a good shoe include:

  • Firm heel counter
  • Doesn’t bend in half, or can be twisted and wrung out like a towel
  • Good fixation (laces, straps, velcro)
  • Durable
  • Appropriate arch support

Children’s physical health and wellbeing starts at the feet! By getting the right school shoes, kids and young people get a lot more than comfort. A good fit, together with the guidance of a trained podiatrist, promotes better foot health, posture, and overall movements, which are essential for young people to stay fit!

The Australian Podiatry Association’s Tips for Fit Feet:

  • Get your child’s foot measured regularly
  • Ensure toes can wiggle freely in the shoes
  • Allow 1cm between the big toe and the top of the shoe
  • Get fitted by a trained sales assistant

We have compiled a list here of some of the best school shoes for 2025:

  • Asics GEL-550
  • Asics GT-1000
  • Ascent Adela
  • Ascent Scholar
  • Ascent Apex
  • Ascent Eve
