Popular shoes for teen boys cover the years from about 13 to 16, when a school lace-up and a weekend trainer are both in the conversation. Blue shows up in this selection as often as black, which tells you the page is wider than a uniform list.
Bobux, Geox, Start-Rite, Ricosta, Clarks and Skechers are the names we see most, with Primigi, Hoka and On Running for boys who want a cushioned trainer. He will tell you what he will actually wear. We still measure both feet before that vote counts.
Shoes for a 16 year old boy are often an adult length with a teenage width. He may be ready for the men’s department, and he may still need a school shoe that a men’s casual style will not satisfy. We measure both feet in the socks he means to wear with that pair, school or weekend.
Shoes for a teenage boy split in two. Leather for the list lives on our school shoes page. Here we also fit the trainers and everyday shoes he asks for by name: Geox, Skechers, Hoka, On Running. Start-Rite and Ricosta still appear when the shape is closer to school. A 14 year old boy is often between those two wardrobes.
The best shoes for a 13 year-old boy are the ones that fit the larger foot and match the life he is actually in. At 13 that is often still a school leather shoe plus a plain trainer. Bobux, Geox, Clarks and Skechers cover most of what we fit at that age. Bring him. A size bought without him is a guess.
The best older boys’ school shoes are leather that meets the list and fits today, with about a thumb of room if they lace or strap. That fitting sits on our school shoes for teen boys page. This page is the wider one, for the shoes he also wears out of uniform.
The measurement is the same. The younger age is more likely to need that thumb of growing room on a fastened shoe. At 16 we often fit closer to the foot he has now, and more often in a men’s size. We say which once we have measured both feet.
They are trainers in this collection, useful when he wants cushion for walking or sport. They become school shoes only if his own uniform policy allows that look. Many secondary lists do not. Ask us with the rule in front of us, and we will keep the pair on the right side of it.
Teenagers are frank about what they will keep on their feet. Come to Gabriel’s Hill in Maidstone, let us measure both feet, and we will narrow it to pairs he will actually wear. School leather, when that is the brief, is with our teen boys’ school shoes.
