Ricosta Lillia | Black Patent | Middle Width

Looking for a timeless, high-gloss Mary Jane school shoe for younger children that perfectly pairs classic styling with playground-ready durability?

The Ricosta Lillia girls' patent school shoes offer a beautiful, classic Mary Jane profile designed especially for primary school years. Its simple yet elegant design is elevated by a delicate brogue perforated detail along the top edge, creating an exceptionally smart, polished look that looks fantastic with any school uniform.

Crafted from premium glossy patent uppers and high-quality leather linings, the Lillia delivers a breathable, soft internal climate that prevents friction and heel rubbing. A practical, single rip-tape strap closure makes these shoes quick and easy for younger children to fasten and unfasten entirely on their own - ideal for fast-paced mornings and PE changes.

Built to handle active breaks, the sturdy, injection-moulded PU sole provides fantastic flexibility and excellent grip on wet or slippery surfaces. Complete with removable, washable textile insoles, these shoes help keep feet fresh all term long while offering the necessary depth flexibility to accommodate prescription orthotics.
