Our range of Alpha school shoes, exclusive to The Athlete’s Foot are here to help – check out their top features below and just why they’re a solid choice when you’re shopping around for new school shoes.
High quality materials and durability
A great all-rounder option for a formal school shoe; only high-quality durable materials will do for Alpha! Check out their slip resistant outsoles as well as thermoplastic heel counters. A TPU heel counter is great for school shoes as they can take the intense impact when kids are running between classes (or tearing up the playground).
You’ll also find double dyed full grain leather uppers for enhanced durability, as well as a 9-month outsole warranty. Whilst they’re surprisingly lightweight for formal school shoes, there’s unrivalled comfort in their midsole which offers all day comfort too.
Supporting kids’ busy lives
When they’re going a million miles per hour, you expect their school shoes to keep up. No squished and sweaty feet here! Alpha shoes have inner mesh linings and even have anti-bacterial tech embedded (now that’s a clever shoe). An antibacterial agent is lined throughout the interior of their footwear range, to keep the shoes fresher for longer.
Not only that, the TPU / PU Inserts at the heel help to absorb impact shock, and increased energy return for a smoother ride when they’re stomping around the playground. An additional TPU footbridge at the midfoot provides a greater level of support and stability.
Supporting prep and beyond
With size options from prep school all the way up to high school and senior sizing, Alpha is here for you from the very first day of school to their very last.
Alpha’s uniform friendly designs include a range of widths and fastenings; whether they’re getting to grips with their first school shoes (buckles and self-fastening are ideal) or they need a robust pair of laceup shoes – you’ll find them all here.
