Term Footwear, the school shoe brand built on always being in stock and always straightforward to order, is adding four new styles to its collection for Back to School 2026: Emeline, Vanessa, Northgate and Stonecourt.
Emeline and Vanessa bring classic T-bar styling with playful detailing for younger years, while Northgate and Stonecourt are sportier, casual-hybrid school shoes aimed squarely at secondary-age pupils, giving retailers a stronger offer across the full range of ages and preferences they serve.
The launch reflects Term’s ongoing commitment to being the school shoe brand that stays: one supplier relationship that retailers and parents can rely on from a child’s first day at school to their last, without the seasonal gaps or complicated fittings.
New styles for AW26
For younger pupils, Emeline offers a timeless T-bar school shoe with a clean silhouette and subtle brogue detailing. The secure T-bar fit, flexible, durable sole and easy touch-strap fastening support practical day-to-day wear. Available in high-quality leather or patent uppers, Emeline comes in sizes UK 9-3.
Vanessa brings everyday comfort with a more playful finish, combining Term’s classic T-bar school shoe shape with delicate 3D butterfly detailing. The style features a high-quality patent upper, flexible, durable sole and easy touch-strap fastening, also in sizes UK 9–3.
For secondary-age pupils, Northgate introduces a sportier, trainer-style option. New for 2026, the style combines a streamlined leather upper with a clean, low-profile sole, lace fastening and a high-quality leather upper, available in sizes UK 4–10.
Completing the senior offer, Stonecourt is a sporty, casual-hybrid school shoe. This style pairs a contemporary silhouette with full lace fastening alongside a high-quality leather upper and flexible, durable sole. Stonecourt is available in sizes UK 4–10.
Built for retailers, not just wearers
All four styles are designed in the UK and arrive with the same commercial approach that underpins the whole Term range: no minimum order quantities, single-size reorders and swap-outs, so retailers can order in a way that suits their business. With Term, stock doesn’t disappear once the summer rush is over, the brand is there for mid-term reorders as readily in January as in August.
“Emeline, Vanessa, Northgate and Stonecourt are about giving retailers a range that sells without needing to be sold,” says Ryan Cooke, Head of Product at The Parently Group. “Whether it’s a classic T-bar for the first year of school or a trainer-style shoe for a senior who wants something more grown-up, these styles are built to the same standard: quality that lasts, styling that pupils actually want to wear, and a supply relationship retailers can depend on all year round.”
Term partners with SizeWise
Term is also working with digital foot-scanning specialist SizeWise to explore how AI-powered sizing technology could ease the sizing and stock pressures retailers feel most during Back to School.
“Retailers lose sales when a size isn’t in stock, and they lose time when fitting a busy shop floor slows everything else down,” says Jamie Morley, sales director at The Parently Group. “We’re working with SizeWise on practical ways to ease both of those pressures during Back to School. It’s early days, but the aspiration is clear: less guesswork, fewer wasted fittings, and more time for staff to focus on the customers in front of them.”
