Startrite School Shoes from Stampede4Kids

Author: Luke Gilrane

Startrite are one of the leading designers and manufacturers of children’s shoes in the UK, a position they have earned through a consistent dedication to product quality and innovation. School shoes are one of the company’s signature products and Stampede are proud to number among their carefully-selected network of UK and international retailers.

Incredibly, Startrite can trace its origins all the way back to 1792, more than 220 years ago. A family-owned and -run business for eight generations, they have been designing and producing shoes of continually high quality, with a sharp focus on ensuring that the four key factors of good fit, durability, comfort and style are all present in every pair.

Children’s feet are continually growing and developing and so the perfect fit is essential, particularly with school shoes as the child will have to wear them all day while carrying out school activities - whole and half sizes are available with several width fittings. Startrite shoes have a generous amount of growing space built in to each shoe, made possible with the use of innovative design features such as the company’s unique heel support system.

Two of our favourite pairs are detailed here but please enjoy browsing the complete collection.

Princess Serena for Girls

These girls shoes are made from shiny black patent leather and feature a Velcro strap fastening; the straps are decorated with charms (lovehearts or crowns) which are easily interchangeable. A flexible, lightweight sole allows for improved mobility of the feet during the school day and the shoes are fitted with a useful bump toe which helps protect against scuffing and gives them a longer life. Completing the Princess Serena shoe is a removable and washable integral sock which, designed to draw away and absorb moisture, creates a healthy and comfortable environment for the feet.

Marlborough School Shoes for Boys

The regal name of Marlborough is perfectly suited to these boys school shoes which offer supreme comfort thanks to their highly-flexible rubber sole and beautifully-soft leather uppers. A classic lace-up design creates the perfect adjustable fit and the overall appearance of the shoes is smart, strong and sturdy. Marlborough boys school shoes feature the innovative mesh lining that is such a trademark of Startrite, allowing complete breathability and temperature control.
