About this guide: Whether your school allows black trainers for everyday wear or you need PE and sports shoes for the kit bag, the right fit keeps active feet comfortable and protected. This guide explains how school trainers should fit and what to expect when you visit us in store. It is part of our wider Back to School Fit Guide.
Running, jumping and games put extra load on growing feet, so a supportive, cushioned sole helps protect them.
A patterned, flexible outsole gives grip on hall floors and outdoor surfaces to reduce slips.
Breathable uppers keep active feet cooler and fresher through a busy day of sport.
Black trainers for daily wear can be smarter and hard-wearing; dedicated PE shoes prioritise flexibility and grip.
Browse black trainers for school and PE trainers for school.
Trainers are fitted across the full size range, from young children through to adult sizes for older students. For a full size chart by age, use the guide that matches your child:

We bring out several suitable styles in the right size and fitting, so there is a proper choice.
We check length, width and depth on both feet to support healthy foot development.
Not always. Trainers can fit a little differently and are often worn with thicker sports socks, so we recommend a fresh measure rather than assuming the same size.
About a thumb’s width at the toe, with a secure heel that does not slip when running. Our fitters set this for you.
