Mr Mammy
Reek Sunday is over, Premiership is back, evenings are drawing in, which can only mean one thing, racing in the mornings, homework, making lunches, homework, have you your school bag? Did I mention homework!!!
Yes, it’s back to school time and the first thing is to check is if your school has a footwear policy, some schools insist on completely black with no logos.
The average primary schoolchild will take 13,000 steps a day so the shoes on their precious feet need to be durable, comfortable and offer support.
For primary school kids we stock a wide range of styles and brands.
NOW THE TECHIE BIT!
CLARKS- Agion technology eliminates odours from bacteria on the footbed to keep active feet healthy and feeling fresh. Air Spring FX underfoot cushioning absorbs the impact of every step.
RICOSTA shoes come with “Drysole” insoles which can be washed at 30 ° C. Some shoes have a waterproof lining ensuring feet stay dry while running through wet grass.
ECCO BIOM (short for “bio-mechanical optimization”) enables the foot to realise its full natural potential through an anatomical footbeds that match the nuances and curves of the barefoot.
Geox, Clarks, Pablosky and Asics provide the runners for the activity element of school with the latter two offering increased arch support and anti-pronation ridges.
SECONDARY SCHOOL.
The timeless Dubarry’s original deck shoe, fondly called ‘Dubes’. (call them ‘Dubes’to retain your street cred!) along with the Susst Gaby loafer are always a favourite with the girls.
This year saw the iconic Vans low top style with black leather or canvas uppers with signature waffle outsoles for a supportive and comfortable finish prove extremely popular with girls and lads.
