Shoes for sixth form sit between a school shoe and something you could wear to work. Colleges write their own dress codes, some close to office clothes and some more relaxed, so we fit black and brown leather that can live with the rule you actually have.
Young women will see Gabor, Ecco, Hispanitas, Clarks, Wonders and Tamaris among the pairs we group here. Young men will see Loake, Clarks, Jeffery West, Josef Seibel and Crockett & Jones. Dr Martens appears too, and only helps if the code allows a boot.
Sixth form shoes for young women are a plain black or brown shoe with a low heel, from Gabor, Ecco, Hispanitas, Clarks, Wonders or Tamaris. Women’s shoes for sixth form still have to walk a full day. We fit the shoe that sits with a sixth form outfit. The outfit itself is hers to choose.
Sixth form shoes for young men here are black and brown lace-ups and loafers: Loake, Clarks, Jeffery West, Josef Seibel, Pikolinos, Crockett & Jones, plus Joseph Cheaney and Hush Puppies. Bring the code if he hopes for a trainer or a boot.
Each college sets its own code. Some expect smart office dress. Some allow trainers or ankle boots. Read it before you buy, and bring it if a line is unclear.
The best shoes for sixth form are one comfortable pair, in black or brown, that you can walk in all day inside the dress code. Ecco, Gabor, Clarks and Loake are where we often start. A second pair can wait until you know the timetable.
The application is read before anyone sees your shoes. What we can help with is the interview and the open day: a clean, plain pair that looks considered and stays comfortable while you are shown round.
A closed shoe in black or brown, low heeled, polished, and already walked in. Give yourself a week. Try the pair for the length of a conversation and a corridor, with the dress code if the college published one.
Searching for kids shoes for sixth form usually means a smaller size. Most sixth-formers need an adult fitting. A few still sit honestly in a teenage or children’s last. We measure both feet and say which range is the true one.
Interviews and open days are a reason to visit the shop on Gabriel’s Hill in Maidstone a week ahead. We will fit a pair you can walk a campus in. If the code is closer to work than to school, our shoes for the office are the natural next step, and shoe care will keep the leather looking ready.
