Yes I said it! Back to School! Ok, ok I know it feels like the school year has only just finished & we are all enjoying the summer. Heatwave?! Who knew that could happen!! Well don't worry you can still enjoy the summer while you get ready for the new school year.

September will be here in no time, so it's good to get organised, so you feel less stressed before the kids go back to school.

Take your time over the summer to check out what's needed for the new term, or maybe you have your first little one starting school! Exciting!! But don't let it be stressful.

Along with uniforms they’ll need shoes & school bags. So here's a few of the shoes available here at McConnell's. Have a little look to see what's on offer this year so you are prepared when you decide to do the back to school shop.

If your little one is in nursery or primary school here are a few options:

First up we have CROWN WISH from Clarks.

This retro styled T-Bar is super cute! There's a lot of inspiration taken from the 1940’s & 1950’s seen in kids school shoes at the minute & I can see why. They are classic styles that while look cute, are also very functional & suit children's growing feet. CROWN WISH is a perfect example of this. The T-Bar gives extra support, while the rounded toe gives little feet room to grow. This little shoe is super lightweight & flexible so your little one will have all day comfort.

If you have a little one who likes a bit of bling then PRIME SKIP is a great wee shoe.
This Mary-Jane style comes in either patent or leather. It has a lovely bow & gemstone detail & is super sturdy with premium leather uppers & non slip rubber soles.

If you are after a sturdy classic little shoe that can withstand the rough & tumble if primary school then a great option is MINI RACER.
This super soft & flexible shoe has full leather uppers with added toe protection to reduce scuffing. Easy on & off with Velcro fastenings (great for busy mornings).

Another sturdy shoe for primary school is BLAKE STREET from Clarks.
This shoe offers superior comfort & soft yet durable uppers with its premium leather & scuff resistant panels at the toe & sides.

Then we come to the Lelli Kelly range.

Boy do the girls love Lelli Kelly shoes!! They have a beautiful Colourissima range this year with interchangeable straps & details. All with free gifts (while stocks last). As always the Lelli Kelly school shoes are all leather uppers with rubber soles.

Now I've only given you a few choices here (don't want to overload you!) But there are plenty more to choose from in store & on our website.
So call in store & get the kids measured & fitted for the new term & once that's sorted you can all enjoy the rest of the summer before it’s Back to School time!
