Black, Navy or Brown? Choosing Children's Shoe Colors
The best children's shoe color is not simply the most beautiful one. It is the color that fits the occasion, works with the child's existing clothing and is available in the correct size. Tannery & Co.'s current palette includes black, navy, cognac, chestnut and chocolate leather shoes.
Black children's shoes
Black has the most formal appearance and coordinates naturally with school uniforms, dark suits, gray clothing and monochrome outfits. It is a strong choice when one pair needs to serve formal and everyday dress occasions. Shop black children's leather shoes.
Navy children's shoes
Navy offers much of black's versatility with a softer finish. It works particularly well with navy, blue, gray, cream and many school wardrobes. Shop navy children's leather shoes.
Cognac children's shoes
Cognac is a warm, medium brown that transitions easily across seasons. It pairs especially well with cream, camel, tan, denim, navy and warm neutral outfits. Shop cognac children's leather shoes.
Chestnut children's shoes
Chestnut brings a warm reddish-brown tone to autumn and winter outfits. It complements burgundy, olive, camel, cream and textured seasonal clothing. Shop chestnut children's leather shoes.
Chocolate children's shoes
Chocolate is the deepest brown in the palette. It offers richness without the starkness of black and works well with earth tones, winter knits and traditional occasion clothing. Shop chocolate children's leather shoes.
How to decide
- Choose the outfit or uniform the shoes will be worn with most often.
- Confirm which colors are available in the child's size.
- Decide whether the shoe should blend quietly or add warm contrast.
- Compare the same style in multiple colors when possible.
