About this guide: This size and fit guide explains how teenage girls’ school shoes should fit, how to read the size chart, and what to expect when you visit us in store. Teenage girls sit between the Children’s and Ladies’ ranges, and some school shoes go up to a size 9, so we fit older girls from whichever department suits their feet. It is part of our wider Back to School Fit Guide.

How teenage girls’ school shoes should fit

  • Wear school socks or tights. Bring what your daughter will wear day to day, so the fit is judged the way the shoes are worn.
  • Measure both feet. We measure both feet and always fit to the larger one, checking length, width and depth.
  • Fitted in the right department. Older girls can be seated in the Ladies’ department, and some school shoes go up to a size 9, so they can be fitted from the Children’s shop or the Ladies’ shop.
  • Go easy on growing room with slip-ons. Too much room and slip-ons will slip on and off with wear, so these are more of a fashion choice.
  • Leather softens with wear. Firmer leather is often softened at the heel cup when we fit it. If it still feels stiff after a few wears, bring it back and we will soften it, which is quite normal.
  • Break them in gently. Wear the shoes at home a few times before the first day, so feet get used to proper shoes after a summer in soft trainers and sandals.
  • Undo the fastening first. Always undo laces or buckles before taking shoes off, to protect the heel and keep the shape.

Styles & fastenings

Older girls tend to prefer neat laced, buckle or slip-on styles, and we carry all three so the look your daughter wants comes with a fit that stays secure all day. For older students we can also fit smart styles from the Ladies’ department, and you can browse related ranges for older girls’ and sixth form.

Frequently Asked Questions

My daughter is between the children’s and ladies’ ranges — which should we choose?

Around a size 2.5 to 3 you can often fit from either range. We measure and try both so she gets the best fit and the style she likes.

Do teenage girls’ school shoes come in a size 9?

Yes, some do. Larger sizes are fitted from the Ladies’ department, so older girls are catered for under the same roof.

Do you fit wide feet and half sizes?

Yes. We stock multiple width fittings and half sizes across our main school ranges, so narrow and wide feet are fitted just as carefully as average widths.

Do I need to book, or can we just walk in?

You are welcome to walk in any time. During the busy back to school period you can book a fitting appointment to skip the wait.
