Your children need durable shoes to handle the demands of playground play. Their footwear must withstand vigorous basketball or soccer games while offering adequate traction across various surfaces.
There are various choices of heavy duty school shoes on the market, but many parents opt for lace-ups with convenient riptape fastenings as these can be machine washed, are odour-free, and provide additional padding.

Geox
Geox footwear is world-renowned and revered for its breathability that prioritises foot health. Geox specialises in creating healthy microclimates for feet using their perforated outsoles and patent technology; from formal leather shoes to everyday sneakers – they offer various options to meet every lifestyle from men, women and kids alike.
Mario Moretti Polegato founded Geox 25 years ago when, while walking home under Nevada’s hot summer sun, his feet became sweaty and uncomfortable. Inspired by this discomfort, he cut slits in his shoes to allow airflow, keeping his feet cool and dry – an innovation which eventually gave rise to his now iconic shoe-making technology known as Geox (another household name) being mass-produced worldwide due to an obscure loophole in European regulations allowing companies to cut parts before exporting them out for assembly in other countries – making Geox an invaluable success story that enabled many others.

Harrison
School shoes can be one of the more daunting aspects of outfitting your children for school; they’re expensive, don’t last very long and must fit properly – not to mention being durable enough to withstand playground abuse!
Kids’ feet require support in the areas surrounding the heel and arch, as well as at the ball of the foot. Durable school shoes are specifically designed to meet this need while helping prevent overuse injuries such as shin splints.
The Harrison is a heavy duty school shoe designed with children in mind, featuring a convenient rip-tape strap to assist them with getting them on and off easily. Available in multiple width options and half sizes.
