Buying a new pair of children’s trainers seems simple, until you consider fit, fastening, materials and intended use. A shoe that looks sturdy in the online shop may be difficult to put on, get dirty quickly or fail to fit your child’s foot properly in everyday use.
Pay particular attention to these common pitfalls:
Below you’ll find a practical overview of the key points to consider, followed by some popular choices from the range.
Always check the size guide for the specific model. A size 32 from one brand may not fit exactly like a size 32 from another. Many models in this selection have a standard fit and recommend ordering your usual size.
When trying them on, check that:
If you’re looking for children’s shoes in sizes 27 to 38, it’s best not to choose based on age alone. Measure both feet and base your choice on the longer foot. A removable insole can help you check how much space is available, although several models in this selection have a non-removable insole.
Trainers with hook-and-loop fastenings are practical for children who want to get dressed independently. They are quick to open and close, making them suitable for school, nursery and everyday wear. Some models combine elastic laces with a hook-and-loop fastening. This makes them quick to put on while providing extra support around the foot.
Trainers with laces are a good choice when precise adjustment is important or when your child can already tie their own laces. However, check that the laces are long enough and can be tied securely. For younger children, a laceless or combined fastening may be more convenient.
Don’t rely solely on terms such as “comfort” in the product title. Check the specific details:
For school and everyday wear, black or blue models are often practical. Black children’s trainers are less likely to show small marks and are easy to match with different outfits. Blue children’s trainers offer a sporty look without being too eye-catching. For PE, outdoor play and active days, a sturdy sole and a fastening that stays secure are more important than decorative details.

The category also includes other Skechers children’s trainers, such as the blue Microspec Texlor with elastic laces and a hook-and-loop fastening, the Gametronix with hook-and-loop fastening and the Sport Court 92 with laces. For children who prefer a higher shoe, there is the Meteor-Lights Krendox with a hook-and-loop fastening.
Take extra care when it comes to looking after light-up models. According to the product information for these models, they should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap; machine washing may damage the lights and battery components. For a neutral school look, black children’s trainers such as the Sport Court 92 or Microspec Texlor are easy to style. If you’re looking for a more eye-catching pair, consider the colourful Heart Lights or Flutter Heart Lights models.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
There should be enough room for the toes not to touch the front, but the foot should not slide around. Ideally, try shoes on at the end of the day with the usual socks. Also check the width, such as shoe width D or G when this is listed for the product.
Yes, particularly for children who want to put their shoes on themselves. Hook-and-loop fastenings are quick to open and close. A combination of elastic laces and a hook-and-loop fastening can be especially practical, as the shoe does not need to be fully readjusted as often.
This depends on growth rate, how often they are worn and how they are cared for. Regularly check that the toes can still move freely, the sole has sufficient tread and the upper is not coming away. Clean the shoes according to the product instructions and allow wet shoes to air-dry naturally. This helps prevent unnecessary wear caused by incorrect care.
