High school teaching may not be the easiest job in the world for most but let your choice of footwear be the simplest decision you make every morning.

As we know, teachers are on their feet for a lot of the school day, so we are here to guide you through the best footwear for you as a high-school teacher which bring you comfort and comply with any uniform regulations your school may have in place. There are quite a few features of a formal school shoe that teachers should look for, starting with of course, durability and comfort. As a teacher, you may also want to consider finding a formal shoe that is lightweight, provides ankle support and is overall the right size in width and length.

If your school requires you to wear a particular style of shoe, The Athlete’s Foot has a range of formal Work Shoes for both Men and Women that contain amazing features to get you through every day, even those days that seem impossible.

For Men’s Formal School Shoes, we suggest an Ascent Contest as it is a wider fit and has slip resistant features. The shoe provides support and stability so that you’re able to get through your 8–9-hour workday.

If you’re after a waterproof shoe that is shock-absorbent and has quite a bit of cushioning then look no further than a Rockport Taylor Cap. This style will have you prepared for whatever your school day throws at you and as we know, school days can be unpredictable. With features such as a durable leather upper that’s designed in an innovative way, a flexible outsole for great traction control and a shock absorbing midsole, you cannot go wrong.

As we know, finding a shoe that’s comfortable and stylish don’t always go hand in hand however, The Athlete’s Foot has you covered with comfort and style. Leading brand Ascent stocks formal all black leather shoes in multiple styles but the Stratus Women’s shoe. This style is a standout due to its extra support and cushioning that reduces the result of fatigued feet. If your school requires you to be in all black leather shoes, then this is a great option that is stylish and provides all the best features of a shoe that you’ll be in all day.
