School Sandals

Policies vary by school. Many allow closed-toe sandals in black or brown, while others require lace-up shoes. Check your school's uniform guidelines or ask the school office before buying. Always check the current policy at the start of each year, as rules can change between terms and campuses.

Your child should have a thumb's width in front of the longest toe, with the heel sitting back and the straps snug. Let them walk and run to see if anything rubs. Check again after a few wears. Ask us if you need help.

With daily wear, many pairs last a term or two, depending on how fast your child grows and how active they are. Check straps and soles regularly, and replace when the fit is no longer secure. Choose a size with room for growth.

Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry. Polish leather styles occasionally to keep them neat. Avoid washing machines and drying near heaters. Dry them in the shade after wet days to keep the straps in good shape.
