Our guide to 2023 School Shoe technologies
Shopping for School Shoes is never easy, and with an ever changing landscape when it comes to kids footwear, it’s really important to understand whether you need to shop for comfort, durability or even just leading technology in general. Our guide will take you through some of the leading technological advancements in footwear, what it means for your kids and how you can stay informed.
Our range of Alpha Footwear has leading technology throughout and is perfect for those mums and dads looking for a leading shoe, that won’t break the bank but will keep them comfy from first lessons to the last bell.
TPU/PU Inserts
When you’re shopping for comfort, we highly recommend looking at shoes that have TPU/PU inserts (Polyurethane inserts if we’re being scientific). Made out of polymer, their lower density and softer texture make them perfectly placed for kids’ school shoes.
EVA Outsoles
Perfect when it comes to school shoes and kids who are on their feet all day, and offering more flexibility than a classic rubber sole, EVA Outsoles (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) are formed out of plastic. This lighter material means that it’s got a rubber feel, making it a lot more comfortable. The material means it’s also extremely lightweight and it’s often regarded as heavily durable, so it’s an ideal match for kids’ school footwear.
Our Alpha Lucas range comes equipped with the EVA outsole, so you’re in good hands.
Slip Resistant
When they’re spending their time racing around the playground, the last thing your kid will be thinking will be about slipping and sliding. Keep that peace of mind by considering a school shoe with slip resistant technology, and we have an Alpha shoe to suit.
With it’s lace up silhouette, the Alpha Jax also comes equipped with both a strong heel for stability but also that all important slip resistant outsole.
Antibacterial Interiors
We’ve added mesh linings with an antibacterial treatment to some of our school sneakers and school shoes. This helps keep their feet fresher for longer by combating the bacteria that causes foot odour.
