In case you missed it, we’re 100 percent in back-to-school mode here at The Everymom. We’ve shared everything from back-to-school traditions to implement to items you can pick up for yourself while back-to-school shopping for your kids, and we’ve also talked about the all of 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 forget about grabbing 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 grown out of last year’s shoes.
We know 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 put together this list of all the best kids shoes for back to school (including some editor faves!), at every price point. Check them out below:
