Mary Jane Shoes for School Uniform – Affordable, Durable, and Supportive

Have you been looking for a pair of Mary Jane shoes that your child can wear to school? Are you having a hard time finding a Mary Jane shoe that fits the shape of your child’s feet and at the same time complies with the school uniform? Some schools have a stricter uniform policy when it comes to which types of Mary Jane shoes children can wear in terms of color and style. I am going to show you a list of the best Mary Jane shoes for school uniform.

Do Your Kids’ Mary Jane Shoes Need to Be Made of a Specific Color?

Most schools require Mary Jane shoes to be made either of a black or brown color. The Mary Jane school shoes that I recommend are made out of leather and they are available in black, brown, and navy.

What Makes the Mary Jane Shoes I Recommend Ideal for Back to School?

The Mary Jane shoes that I recommend are made out of leather, provide a supportive outsole, firm heel counter, and have extra padding around the heels to prevent blisters. Let me help you visualize the features that the Mary Jane Shoes that I recommend provide:

• Extra Padding around the Ankles: This feature helps increase comfort and prevent the formation of blisters around this area. Take a look at the image below for better visualization purposes:

• Memory Foam Insoles: Many children love how soft these shoes feel and how they mold to their foot shape. Memory foam shoes help to evenly distribute the child’s body’s weight, allowing a more comfortable walking and running experience.

• Non-Marking Outsole: Several school dress codes require that children wear shoes with non-marking outsoles.

• Supportive Outsole: This feature helps cushion and support your child’s feet when walking or running around at school.

• Firm Heel Counter: To support and protect your child’s heels and ankles. The heel counter is the back part of the shoe and you should always press on it and make sure it feels firm and sturdy. Take a look at the image below to visualize where the heel counter of the shoe is located.

How Do I Know Which Mary Jane Shoes Work Best for School?

I have been working for a specialized children’s shoe store for over 10 years now that focuses on helping children with “complicated” foot shapes as well as foot and leg problems but provides regular shoe fittings as well. As a shoe fitter, I handle approximately 100 shoe fittings/try-ons per week and have become very familiar with the best Mary Jane shoes for school uniform.

Back to school is our busiest season of the year, and I have tested several different Mary Jane shoe styles. There is one specific style that is parents’ favorite as it’s affordable, supportive, and durable.

The Mary Jane that I recommend can fit children with medium, wide, or extra wide feet, so make sure that you choose your child’s foot width accordingly. Take a look at the description below the image of the shoe to check what specific foot shape that particular style can accommodate.

What Shoe Size Should I Order?

To allow for growing room, I highly recommend that parents order these shoes a half size larger than their child’s current foot size. This translates to 3/16 of an inch or 0.4 centimeters of space between your child’s longest toe and the end of the shoes.

Most local shoe stores have been closing down even before COVID, so I came up with a system that helps families retrieve their child’s exact foot length and shape from home. If you are unsure of your child’s exact foot length and shape I suggest that you take a look at the resource below:

Should Kids Wear Socks with Mary Jane Shoes?

I strongly advise you to have your child wear socks with her Mary Jane shoes. Socks act as a barrier between feet and the shoes, preventing the buildup of bacteria inside the shoes as well irritation and infection.
