New shoes, especially for back-to-school, are all about possibilities, and this fall, the possibilities are endless. Whether your girl is sporty, casual, or a fashionista in the making, we’ve gathered this year’s best shoes for middle school and high school girls. These shoes will not only look cool, they’ll last, too.
Athletic-Style
Whether your older daughter is wearing them to gym class or your youngest is climbing up monkey bars, a trusty and cool pair of running-style shoes is a must this school year. Retro styles by tried-and-true brands rule the roost here. Newer styles incorporate incredibly bright colors that might make parents think twice but trust us, they’re very on-trend.
Jazzy Sneaks
Out of gym, keep your girl comfy in updated athletic looks like lace up high tops or lace-less low profile slip-on sneakers. Look for cool additions like hidden wedges for high school girls or, for girls of any age, sequined lace ups and patterned pairs. Cutting edge styles go as well with skirts and dresses as they do with jeans.
Slip-on Flats
When lace ups need a rest, your girl will covet a few pairs of trendy slip-ons. Look for espadrille styles in every pattern and fabric and closed-toe pairs with either sleek bottoms or rubber non-slip soles. They can be worn with jeans, leggings or skirts and are infinitely versatile.
Boots
The boot is firmly and forever a part of fall fashion, and middle and high school girls are embracing this timeless trend. This season, stick to very in-style flat boots in cowboy and riding styles. Booties go a bit lower on the leg, but styles all the way up to the knee are very of-the-moment and can be worn under or over pants and with skirts, too. For the young lady who insists on a heel, move to a smaller wedge or stacked heels, which are more practical than skinny heels when walking in bad weather.
With all the fashionable options available this season, girls can’t help but step up and stand out.
