There’s no surprise that #feetupfriday or #teacherfeetupfriday on Instagram is covered in photos of teacher’s feet propped up on their desks celebrating the end of another exhausting, but rewarding week. There is no denying how totally Insta-worthy these snaps are as well! It got us thinking, what shoes are teachers wearing? Here’s your ultimate shoe guide to comfort, fashion and a splash of teacher fun to boot! (see what I did there?).
Did you know that on average a teacher takes 12, 564 steps a day? Shoes are important!
The A-Z of Teacher Shoes
Most schools have a policy that shoes must be closed in for workplace health and safety. So, we have decided to feature some of the most popular teacher shoes we can find on Instagram. They are comfy, they are fun but most of all they are totally stylish!
Toms for the Win
So it appears that Toms shoes are a popular choice among teachers…. and we’re not surprised! Their focus on comfort is spot on and the designs are just as good!
Toms are #shoecompanygoals – not only are they a Certified B Corporation, the founder – Blake Mycoskie created TOMS shoes after travelling to Argentina in 2006 witnessing the hardships faced by children growing up without shoes. So, when he created TOMS shoes, he decided to match every pair of shoes purchased with a new pair of shoes for a child in need.
TOMS have given over 60 million pairs of shoes to children in need.
We couldn’t go past this gorgeous shot of @ladya1128 wearing her TOMS. “This #teacherfeetupfriday is so on brand, my #crazyplantlady heart is happy”.

Comfort + Cool Converse Style
You can’t deny the coolness factor of a pair of converse shoes for a teacher. Apart from the comfort factor, they literally go with everything!
We absolutely adore this photo by @mooreinmiddle – everything about it yells style, especially those gorgeous platform converse shoes!
Teachers Loving Rothy’s
Walk into your classroom in comfort and style, knowing you aren’t adding to waste and landfill with Rothy’s.
Rothy’s are made from recycled water bottles once destined for the landfill.
These shoes are super comfortable, and best of all – they are machine washable! Brilliant!
@laura_heath_becker has four pairs of Rothy’s… Because they are comfortable and yet still look fashionable!
Elephant and Confetti – What a Mix!
Toms have done it again with this gorgeous and cheery printed shoes!
“Toms are my favourite teacher shoes and these elephant and confetti printed ones have jumped to the top of my favourite list! They also make me want to eat iced animal cookies!” – @thebrightsideofteaching
Bow-tiful Shoes for Style
Sometimes, as teachers, wearing something special or dressing up a bit can make you feel like you can conquer the day and handle anything that gets thrown your way! These mules are perfection.
Mules are a style of shoe that are suitable for any season. Plus, they are super trendy too!
This image makes our teacher heart sing! Thanks @caffienatedandeducate.
