At ProFeet Footwear Hamilton, we understand the importance of good-quality school shoes. Parents want to give their kids the best start for a healthy future, and that begins with their feet! Every school day, children spend hours on their feet—playing, walking, running, and, of course, learning. Having the right footwear is essential, not only for comfort but for supporting their overall physical development.
We’re proud to stock Ascent school shoes, specifically the Apex, Eve, and Scholar models. These shoes use sports shoe technology to deliver the comfort, support, and durability that growing feet need—no compromises.
Why Quality School Shoes Are Essential for Health
Children wear their school shoes for over 1,500 hours a year, often jumping, running, and playing on hard, flat surfaces. With so much time spent on their feet, children need school shoes that offer just as much support and cushioning as their sports shoes. Poorly fitted or low-quality school shoes can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and even long-term foot issues. Our in-house podiatrist emphasises that well-constructed school shoes help reduce injury risk, provide necessary arch support, and prevent problems like heel pain and alignment issues.
Considering the range of activities kids engage in and their still-developing physical structure, good footwear is even more crucial for children than it is for adults.
What Sets Ascent School Shoes Apart
Ascent school shoes are uniquely engineered for all-day comfort and support, blending the durability of traditional school shoes with the advanced technology of sports shoes. Here’s why we recommend the Apex, Eve, and Scholar models:
- Sports Shoes in Disguise: Ascent shoes use sports shoe technology to ensure optimal support, shock absorption, and flexibility, making them perfect for daily activities. They’re made from hard-wearing black leather, delivering the look of classic school shoes with the function of athletic footwear.
- Endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association: These school shoes come recommended by health professionals and are endorsed by the APA, which only supports products with direct health benefits for patients. The shoes flex in the right places, are orthotic-friendly, and provide the proper support and cushioning growing feet need.
- Multiple Widths for a Custom Fit: Children’s feet are unique, and Ascent shoes come in various widths, ensuring a comfortable fit that prevents blisters and pressure points. This level of customization ensures every child finds the right fit, maximising comfort.
- Durability with a 6-Month Outsole Guarantee: School shoes endure a lot, and Ascent footwear is built to last. Selected styles come with a 6-month outsole guarantee covering manufacturing faults, so parents can feel confident in their investment.
- Affordable Quality: Priced competitively with well-known brands like Clarks and Harrisons, Ascent shoes provide exceptional value. They combine podiatrist-approved support with durability at a price that’s accessible for most families.
