Expert tips from Steven Thomas, The London Podiatrist
 

“School shoes are worn more than any other footwear – over 1000 hours a year – so the fit, function, and foot comfort matter far more than most parents realise*,” says Steven Thomas, The London Podiatrist.

Kickers have teamed up with The London Podiatrist, Steven Thomas to share his top 5 tips, to help parents choose school shoes that support growing feet:

1. Check shoes every 8-12 weeks - children’s feet grow quickly and sometimes unevenly. Growing feet need room, so check their feet every couple of months to avoid long-term issues.
2. Materials matter – when selecting school shoes ensure you choose styles with breathable uppers, flexible soles and grippy outsoles that help children stay comfortable and safe.
3. Easy on, easy off – choosing easy fastenings like Velcro give younger kids more independence – boosting their confidence and helping parents get out the door quicker in the mornings!
4. Prioritise support – supportive school shoes help more than just feet. They promote balance, reduce injury risk and support good posture throughout the whole body.
5. Structure counts - Styles like the Kick Hi offer extra ankle support for kids that need it, and benefit kids with hyper-mobility or flatter arches.

Alex Roberts, Kickers' Senior Brand Manager says: "We're incredibly proud that Kickers continue to be the brand trusted for school by parents, kids, and podiatrists alike. This year marks the 50th anniversary of our iconic Kick Hi - a true testament to just how loved and relied upon our shoes are, across generations. When you think about how long children spend in their school shoes each day, it becomes clear how important it is to find the right pair. They need to fit properly, feel comfortable, and stand up to daily wear. At Kickers, we use premium materials and rigorously test every design to make sure our shoes deliver on all fronts - comfort, durability, and timeless style.

We recognise the expense of the back-to-school season for parents, and remain committed to making Kickers accessible to families. Through our continued price freeze and partnership with Reskinned’s takeback scheme - where customers can return their old Kickers to be responsibly rehomed or recycled in exchange for credit towards a new pair - we aim to support both affordability and sustainability. By choosing Kickers, customers invest in high-quality footwear designed to last, embodying the principle of buying better and buying once."
