FAQs
-
HOW EARLY SHOULD I START BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING?
Our back-to-school sales kick off early July, and we recommend starting 3-4 weeks before school begins. Shopping early during our back-to-school sale gives you the best selection of sizes and styles before the rush. For families with multiple children, spreading your back-to-school sale shopping across a few weeks makes budgeting easier. Sneakers tend to sell out the fastest, so prioritize shoes first.
-
HOW MANY PAIRS OF SHOES DO I NEED FOR BACK TO SCHOOL?
Most students benefit from 2-3 pairs to rotate through the school week. During our back-to-school sale, we recommend: one pair of everyday sneakers, one pair of athletic shoes for PE and sports, and, depending on your school's dress code, one pair of dressier shoes for special occasions or uniform requirements. Our back-to-school selections at WSS make building this collection affordable with bundle discounts on multiple pairs.
-
WHEN SHOULD I BUY BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOES?
The optimal time to shop our back-to-school sale for footwear is early August. This timing during our back-to-school sale hits the sweet spot because new inventory has arrived, selection is at its peak, and your student won't outgrow their shoes before school starts. Shopping on weekday mornings during our back-to-school sale typically means shorter lines and more associate attention for proper sizing assistance.
-
SHOULD I BUY SCHOOL SHOES HALF A SIZE BIGGER?
For growing children, buying shoes a half-size larger during our back-to-school sale can work, but only if they still fit correctly in the heel and don't slip when walking. Our trained associates can help determine if a slightly larger size works without compromising support. For teens who have reached their adult foot size, focus on proper fit rather than room to grow during our back-to-school sale. Keep in mind that different brands size differently.
