Aretto offers school shoes for kids in three fastening options for ages 1 to 14: slip-on, Velcro and elastic laces. Each pair covers three consecutive EU sizes, with SuperGrooves technology, the sole adapting as your child’s feet grow. Measure the longer foot, check the size chart and choose the fastening your child can manage.
Choose the shoe fastening
| Shoe | Fastening | Sizes | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aretto Leaps All Black | Slip-on | S1–S6 | Shop All Black |
| Aretto Leaps Classic Black | Slip-on | S1–S6 | Shop Classic Black |
| Aretto Leaps Pro V Carbon Black | Two Velcro straps | S4–S6 | Shop Pro V |
| Aretto Leaps Pro Carbon Black | Elastic laces, tied once | S5–S7 | Shop Pro |
Slip-on school shoes are the simplest option when your child is not ready to manage fastenings. Nothing to fasten, nothing to go wrong, which counts for a lot at 7:40 in the morning. Velcro comes in handy when kids start insisting on getting dressed themselves. Looking for black Velcro school shoes? Leaps Pro V Carbon Black is the one.
Leaps Pro has elastic laces. Tie them once, and that’s it for the morning. Your child can put the shoes on and take them off without tying the laces every day. You can also explore our velcro shoes for kids or lace-up shoes for kids.
The overlap is where people get stuck. S4 comes in Leaps and Leaps Pro V. S5 and S6 come in all three. Size won’t settle it there; the fastening will. Let your child try the option they can manage on their own.
Find the right size, S1 to S7
Use foot length rather than age alone to find the right size. Place a sheet of paper against a wall and have your child stand on it with their heel touching the wall. Mark the tip of their longest toe, then measure the distance from the wall to the mark. Do this for both feet and use the longer measurement. It’s best to measure later in the day, and leave 10–12 mm of extra room beyond the longest toe when choosing a size.
| School stage | Age guide | Aretto size | Foot length | EU size | UK size | Fastening |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early walking | 1–2 years | S1 | 12.1–13.4 cm | 20–22 | 4–5.5 | Slip-on |
| Playgroup, Nursery | 2–3 years | S2 | 14.0–15.3 cm | 23–25 | 6–7.5 | Slip-on |
| Nursery, LKG | 3–4 years | S3 | 16.0–17.3 cm | 26–28 | 8.5–10 | Slip-on |
| LKG, UKG, Class 1 | 4–6 years | S4 | 18.0–19.3 cm | 29–31 | 11–12.5 | Slip-on or Velcro |
| Class 1–3 | 6–8.5 years | S5 | 19.9–21.2 cm | 32–34 | 13–2 | Velcro or laces |
| Class 3–6 | 8.5–11 years | S6 | 21.9–23.3 cm | 35–37 | 2.5–4.5 | Velcro or laces |
| Class 6–9 | 11–14 years | S7 | 23.3–24.6 cm | 37–39 | 4.5–6 | Laces |
If the measurement falls between two bands, choose the larger size. The chart has gaps between 19.3–19.9 cm and 21.2–21.9 cm; if your child’s measurement falls in either gap, check the kids shoe size chart before ordering.
EU 37 appears in both S6 and S7: choose S6 for Velcro or S7 for laces. Each pair covers three consecutive EU sizes.
Check your school’s uniform rules
The non-marking sole is suited to schools that require footwear for indoor courts and facilities. “Non-marking” describes the sole. It does not guarantee that no floor will ever show a mark.
Some schools specify leather, laces only or white shoes. These styles are knit shoes, and Aretto does not offer a white school shoe in this selection. Check your school’s uniform list before ordering.
The construction and size bands are the same for both ranges.
Buy one pair for class, PT and the walk home
These are school shoes, not regular sports footwear. The non-marking sole is suited to school gym floors and indoor courts. The breathable knit upper and flexible sole are designed for everyday movement, while the wide toe box gives your child’s toes room to move.
These shoes are designed for outdoor sports. If your school requires separate sports shoes with spikes on the bottom, order those separately. Buy non-marking shoes.
Wash them without wrecking them
| Model | How to clean |
|---|---|
| Leaps All Black and Leaps Classic Black | Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle |
