Frequently Asked Questions

These shoes are available in kids sizes UK 9.5 to UK 1 (EU 27–32), which typically fit primary school girls aged 4 to 7 years.
Yes, they fit standard width. Use the size finder on this page — enter your child's foot length in centimetres and we'll suggest the right size. If your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up to allow room for growth.
Yes — that's the main advantage of velcro over laces. The T-bar velcro strap is designed for independent fastening, and most girls aged 4 and above can put them on and take them off by themselves within a week of trying. No laces to tie, no buckles to fight at the classroom door.
Both the upper and the lining are 100% genuine leather. This makes the shoes breathable, flexible, and far more durable than synthetic alternatives — worth the investment for a full school year.
Yes. T-bar school shoes — a Mary Jane sub-style — are accepted as formal school uniform footwear at the vast majority of New Zealand primary schools. The all-black leather upper and closed-toe silhouette meet standard uniform codes.
A Mary Jane has a single horizontal strap across the instep. A T-bar adds a vertical bar running from the toe area up to meet that horizontal strap — forming a T shape. T-bars offer slightly better foot security, which is why they're popular for active primary school girls.
A full school year of daily wear is normal for well-cared-for 100% genuine leather school shoes. Wipe them clean regularly and apply leather conditioner or black shoe polish every few weeks to maintain the finish. Most kids will outgrow the size before the shoes wear out.
