Back to School Shoe Shopping with Jenzy

We have been fans of Jenzy for months now, and now that we’re already thinking about getting ready for back to school for both boys, it was a no brainer to have them both sized and stocked up through our favorite shoe app! Jenzy makes it so easy for busy parents to have their kiddos’ feet sized from home – it truly takes 2 minutes, which any toddler mom knows is a huge plus. For our most recent order, I knew TJ’s size had changed, but wasn’t sure which size to order in some of the new-to-us brands. Jenzy’s 5 question fit quiz made is so easy to resize TJ and to get the perfect size recommendation in each style. My favorite part of shopping through Jenzy is that the recommended size for each style is based on that particular style’s fit. It completely takes the guesswork out of whether a particular brand or style runs big or small, and they even recommend what size to buy if you’re looking for a little extra room to grow into. 

I’m so excited to share my favorite Jenzy back to school styles for both boys and girls – and there are so many more than the ones I’ve rounded up! Jenzy has over 65 brands of shoes from Vans and Converse to See Kai Run and Cientas, and more. Be sure to use code LYNCH at checkout for 15% off your first Jenzy order!

For the Boys

Converse Jack Parcell Dinosaur Sneakers – I chose the “room to grow” size in this style for Jacob because I just couldn’t wait until the Fall to get them for him! I’m so excited for him to wear them on his first day of Playschool in September

 Cientas Slip-On Sneakers – These are classic toddler shoes, and TJ loves that he can slip them on and off so easily on his own. They’re perfect for playgrounds and preschool alike!

Native Phoenix Sneakers – These sneakers are one style I know we’ll size up in over and over again. They’re super soft and lightweight, and they’re waterproof, too!

Converse All-Star Dinosaur Print Sneaker – I mean, how could I not? These are the bigger kid version of the Jack Parcell style above, and they are the epitome of little boy shoes.

Sperry Soletide Boat Shoe – These are a classic, and every little New England boy needs a pair of Sperrys. These are super sturdy and have a memory foam sole, so they’re great for growing kids with lots of energy.

Vans Authentic Core Sneaker – Nothing says playtime like Vans. These are the perfect style for little ones who are older than first walkers but still need lots of flexibility and a comfy fit. Jacob has been living in this style and I know we’ll size up in this one, too!

For the Girls

Cientas Gingham T-Strap Mary Janes – I am convinced that this shoe is why the universe gave me boys LOL. I could not love these classic feminine slip-ons more and I know that if I had a girl, these would be the first shoes I would buy her.

Steve Madden Rezume Sneakers – My 6-year-old self is living vicariously through every little girl who has these sneakers. They would make for the most amazing Mommy & Me moment, too!

Sperry Crest Vibe Jr. Sneaker – I actually own the adult version of these sneakers in gold and can vouch for how very comfortable they are. These would be a great late Summer/early Fall everyday shoe.

Vans Old Skool V Sneaker – If this print came in adult sizes, I would most definitely buy them for myself. The dainty floral print is so sweet, and this style is such a classic!

Converse All Star Sneaker – These are the same style as the dinosaur print in my picks for the boys, but I just love this sparkly pink color…although, I know a few girls who would love that dino print even more!

See Kai Run Peyton Sneaker – We have loved See Kai Run sneakers since we first starting buying shoes for new walkers, and this style is one of their best. It’s super supportive and still really lightweight.

Happy Back to School shopping!
