Startrite FAQs

How does Start-Rite school shoe sizing compare to other brands?

Start-Rite school shoes are expertly engineered with growing room already built into the design, so there is no need to size up. To ensure a precision fit for your child's healthy foot development, we recommend measuring their feet and consulting the on-page size guide. This will help you easily convert their measurements to find the perfect fit when shopping on THE ICONIC.

Do Start-Rite school shoes come in different width fittings?

Yes, Start-Rite understands that every child's foot is unique and requires tailored support. Many of their school shoes are crafted in multi-width fittings, ranging from narrow to extra-wide, to support optimal biomechanics. This approach ensures a secure, comfortable fit that prevents rubbing and supports healthy growing feet throughout the school day.

Are Start-Rite school shoes scuff-resistant?

Start-Rite school shoes are rigorously tested and built to withstand the daily demands of the playground. Many styles feature scuff-resistant toe and heel bumpers for targeted protection where it is needed most. Additionally, they often utilise dyed-through leather, which helps conceal minor scratches and keeps the shoes looking smart for longer.

How do I clean and care for Start-Rite leather school shoes?

To keep your child's leather school shoes looking their best, regularly wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. Apply a quality shoe polish or cream to condition the leather, and use a protective spray to repel water and stains. If the shoes get wet, avoid direct heat like radiators; instead, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally.
