Youth sizes start at 1Y, with colorways that range from lime green and bright red to basic white and grey. ## 3. Nike Air Max Moto 2K The Air Max Moto 2K offers a retro, sporty vibe that speaks to style-minded kids. The visible Max Air unit in the sole provides cushioning, while the rubber sole offers a durable and flexible grip. The shape of the shoe allows for plenty of wiggle room for the toes, and padding around the ankle provides a plush and comfy feel for all-day wear. With sizes from 3.5Y to 7Y, kids can find the right pair as their feet grow. Choose from a variety of color combos, including sleek black with pink accents, light pink with coral touches, and white with royal blue details. ## 4. Nike P6000 These retro-inspired sneakers are the perfect fit for kids who won’t sacrifice style *or* comfort. With a throwback design inspired by the Nike Pegasus 25 and 2006, the P6000 combines early-2000s [running-shoe](https://www.nike.com/a/how-should-running-shoes-fit) style with modern, sporty design lines. Kids will also appreciate the cushioned, springy ride and breathable mesh upper when trekking back and forth to class and after-school activities. Sizes start at 2C and are available in more than 20 colorways, from black with red accents to grey with light purple details. ## Frequently Asked Questions What Shoes Are Best for Back to School? [Back-to-school](https://www.nike.com/a/back-to-school-clothes-shopping) sneakers should be versatile styles that provide all-day comfort for learning and play, such as the Nike Air Force 1, Nike Air Max Moto, Nike Pegasus and Nike P6000. How Often Should Kids’ Shoes Be Replaced? In general, athletic shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles of wear, as the shoe’s cushioning and support mechanisms break down over time. For growing kids, though, the [Cleveland Clinic](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/find-best-shoe-fit-child/) recommends that shoes be replaced more frequently, as children’s feet can grow about a half size in three to four months. What Nike back-to-school shoes come in toddler sizes? The Nike Air Force 1 and P6000 are both available in toddler sizes (2C-10C). How do I know what size Nike shoes to buy for my kid? The first step is to measure your child’s feet. A Nike store associate can help determine the correct length and width, but you can also measure at home using our [handy guide](https://www.nike.com/size-fit/kids-footwear). Have your child stand while you measure the length of both your child’s feet at the longest point of their toes. If your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Check that you’ve selected the correct size by asking your child whether they can easily move the front of the foot in the shoes and wiggle toes freely. But the shoes shouldn’t be too big, either. So, make sure that there’s no more than a thumb’s width from the longest toe to the front of the shoe. ## Shop Nike Back to School [View All](https://www.nike.com/w/back-to-school-840ik) - [ \ Nike Zoom Vomero 5 SE SP \ Men's Shoes \ __$170__](https://www.nike.com/t/zoom-vomero-5-se-sp-mens-shoes-MgsTqZ/CI1694-001) -
