Teaching young, bright minds is an important job but also one that requires a lot, including staying comfortable on your feet. Working as a teacher usually includes a lot of teaching at the blackboard and generally a lot of standing up for hours on end. Therefore, selecting a proper pair of shoes for teachers is the key to covering countless topics or doing back-to-back lectures feel as comfortable as possible for you and your feet. In this guide, you can pick up a few important tips for selecting the best teacher shoes and which key features your footwear should include for the most comfortable wear. Never compromise on your shoes as teaching jobs will likely put your feet to the test.
Depending on which state and school you teach, comfortable shoes for teachers can look slightly different from each other. Both style and wear can be important to consider in your search for new shoes. Firstly, you can consider whether or not your shoes should fit year-round wear or if they should match the season, like winter or summer? As you likely also wear your shoes outside of work, it is naturally worth considering whether the shoes need to get you through a heavy blizzard or the melting summer heat. Secondly, the style has a say if you wish to present yourself as a teacher in a particular professional way or if your associated educational institution has certain expectations for the dress code. Still, function comes before style if you want to make the best investment and get the most use out of your shoes. We’ll show you what you should keep your eyes on.
Being a teacher often includes plenty of standing and walking. Therefore, to get you comfortably through an entire day of teaching, we recommend you stick with styles that focus on support and cushioning.
