If you're looking for a school shoe that offers top-of-class comfort, support, and durability; then look no further than the ALPHA Dux. This classic junior school shoe silhouette is packed with everything required to support active & growing feet no matter what the school day brings. Not only is the leather upper incredibly soft, but it is also 100% recycled, meaning they are as good for the environment as they are for your child's feet. To help keep your child's school shoes looking as great as they feel, ALPHA uses black dyed-through leather, which keeps the leather black even when scratched and scraped. By pairing a TPU heel counter with a TPU footbridge, ALPHA has created a school shoe with support that moulds to your child's feet, while keeping their foot in the correct position and preventing any excess flexibility that could lead to potentially harmful overpronation. Aware that your child will be spending more time in these shoes than any others, ALPHA utilise an antibacterial treatment, so when your kid's feet get sweaty and hot, the Dux works to create the healthiest environment for the foot, all while reducing odour. Using EVA cushioning which is found in most running shoes, your child gets the ultimate cushioned and lightweight underfoot experience designed to provide all-day comfort. Designed to accommodate the most active of students, the ALPHA dux uses a durable rubber outsole that is slip-resistant and provides plenty of traction plus a 9 month guarantee that covers everyday wear!
