Sending your child to school in style

By Emily McCullough, Lucky Shoes

For the past 100 years, families have trusted Lucky Shoes to provide children’s shoes that fit and are functional, yet fun. And this year, as the kiddos get ready to go back to school, it is no different.

“We fit your little ones in quality footwear that allows them to run, walk and play,” says John Luck, the great-grandson of Lucky Shoes founder Joe Luck.

“As you start shopping for back to school, you may worry about what size notebooks to buy or how many colored pencils your child will need this year. But you can feel confident about the shoes on your children’s feet when fitted by our fit specialists at Lucky Shoes.”

Whether for studying in the classroom or playing outdoors, here are four kid’s shoe brands that will hold up to the rigorous demands of an active childhood.

The life of children is inspiring and imaginative, and their footwear has to be able to keep up with them. That’s why Stride Rite has been making fashionable, yet durable, footwear for 100 years.

At Lucky Shoes, you’ll find Stride Rite shoes available in M, W and XW widths.

Tsukihioshi, or “MoonStar,” is a Japanese brand that began in 1873.

Its shoe-making techniques and technologies result in comfortable, fun footwear that give children’s toes the freedom and ability to move as they go about their day.

Hush Puppies has created soft, relaxed footwear since 1958, delivering a blend of individualized style with superior comfort.

The brand offers top-notch parochial school footwear for children with uniform requirements.

New Balance provides a blend of function and fashion in its high-tech children’s athletic shoes.

One of New Balance’s initiatives is to give back through The New Balance Foundation, which aims to address the health of children and their families, specifically childhood obesity.
