The back-to-school season is one of the most important moments of the year for families. New routines, new goals and, of course, a new wardrobe all begin with one essential purchase: the right pair of school shoes.
For Autumn/Winter 2026, children’s footwear is embracing a balance between timeless elegance and modern practicality. Parents are looking for shoes that can keep up with busy school days, playground adventures and after-school activities, while children want styles that reflect the latest fashion trends.
The result is a collection of shoes that are more versatile, comfortable and stylish than ever before.
In this guide, we explore the biggest back-to-school shoe trends for AW2026, helping parents choose footwear that looks beautiful and performs every day.
