With school just starting, everyone is rushing to the stores to get new shoes for the upcoming school year. Because of Rosary’s uniform policy, Royals pretty much wear the same clothes everyday: a polo, a Rosary sweatshirt or crew neck (a college sweatshirt for the seniors), and a skirt. However, the one thing students can choose is what shoes they want to wear.
When roaming the halls, Royals can be seen in many different shoe brands. Senior Lily Curtis says, “I love wearing my low top Nike Blazers, not only are they super comfortable to wear but they are so cute as well.” A lot of the time you can even see girls wearing the same shoes in the halls. Derien Cardenas ‘24 also shares, “My low top Nike Blazers are my favorite shoes ever, I love matching with Lily Curtis.”
Not only is it great for students to be able to wear whatever fun shoes they want for school, but it is also great to add some color to the Rosary uniform. Senior Paloma Borsari says, “If you’re looking to buy some fun shoes with color, I definitely recommend getting New Balance CT302s, I love my white shoes with a pop of pink on them.”
Another popular shoe around the halls is Vans Old Skool Velcro Shoes. Alyssa Mcreary ‘25 shares, “My velcro vans are my favorite shoes, especially for lazy days. It’s so easy to wake up in the morning and not need to tie my shoes. I just put my shoes on and strap the velcro tight.”
Even Rosary’s teachers love dressing up their outfits with different shoes. Señora Kam says, “I love my cork and leather red sandals, because they are so fun and I love adding a pop of color to my outfits.” Mr. Rossetti loves picking his shoes to wear for school too, he says, “I have my favorite black ankle boots that I love to wear on Mondays.”
As you can see, even though no high tops are allowed for the students, there are plenty of cute low top shoe options!
