Goody Two Shoes
The cornerstone of any back-to-school outfit has to be the shoes – they need to be robust, comfortable and of course – look great. Kids Cavern has been kitting out the children of Merseyside with its school shoes since 1989 and they know a thing or two about the best styles and fits for the classroom. Get some shoe inspiration below;
Lelli Kelly
For a classic girls shoe, it has to be Lelli Kelly. Its new AW22 collection has dropped and has shoes in velcro or buckled straps and rubberised soles for a non-slip finish. Despite the softness of the upper part of Lelli Kelly shoes, they boast extraordinary durability due to their patented leather finish – something which you’ll be thankful for when they stand the test of time throughout winter.

A familiar Sunday night ritual for many school children, cleaning your shoes before the week ahead is a must to keep them looking clean and fresh! Specially formulated for their patent leather, this shoe polish cream will make their Lelli Kelly shoes shiny enough to see your face in ✨ Pick up your box on your next visit to Kids Cavern.
Show ‘Em Who’s Boss
For a relaxed comfortable fit, look no further than Hugo Boss. These trainers are perfect for PE lessons and feature a spongey lining and a breathable, antibacterial insole – so even if they leave them hidden in their PE kit over the weekend, there won’t be any nasty surprises waiting for you when it comes to doing a load of washing. The retro trainers are also wipe-clean, so they’ll stay looking fresher for longer 🔥Check them out here.
Winter Is Coming 🧊
Now for the coats! The puffer jacket trend is still going strong and Kids Cavern has all the best new styles to keep little ones looking as sharp as ever on the school run and in the playground.
This Billieblush white puffer jacket is a bestseller and it’s easy to see why. Part of its AW22 collection, this jacket features a polyester lining and cute pink block across the chest, as well as transparent stars across the front. In a boys style, we have the incredibly stylish dark navy puffer coat from Moncler Enfant. As part of the iconic brand’s new AW22 collection, the new Maya coat is padded with white goose down.

Bag It Up

For boys, this super cool backpack by Hugo Boss is from the brand’s SS22 collection and comes in a red and black colourway for a contrasting look. With adjustable straps for comfort and separate compartments, it’s practical as well as stylish.
