Creating energy, bounce and longevity in school shoes like never before. Designed in Britain to develop beautiful young feet, from the very first day at school. Special bio-mechanical design features assists a child's foot to develop naturally during the life of the shoe.
Sole Buddy shoes are re-building school shoes from the sole up. Looking after children's feet, a true miracle of natural engineering.
Children wear their school shoes more than any other footwear, school shoes are the mentors and carers of young feet.
Our feet are the most complex structure of the human body. A true miracle of natural engineering, we are born with 22 bones in each foot, and the rest is soft cartilage that slowly hardens to become 26 bones in the adult foot.
Many foot, joint and back complaints can be attributed to the wear and tear of our feet.
Sole Buddy shoes are specially designed and correctly fitted to stop damage or any malformation occurring and keep young feet beautiful for life. Our aim is to improve the foot health of the nation's children.
While walking and running, each step can exert pressure on our feet that exceeds our body weight four or five times, adding up to a cumulative force of 500 tons a day!
Our feet are natural shock absorbers, designed for walking in the natural world rather than a man-made environment.
Sole Buddy shoes use lightweight rubber with an open cell structure containing more air than standard rubber. It is a great shock absorber due to its natural bounce which in turn helps reduce fatigue and long-term joint health problems.
A crucial function of the foot is to aid balance, and toes are a critical aspect of this. The big toe helps in particular, as we grip the ground if we feel we are losing balance. Sole Buddy shoes are designed with great care to flex naturally with the toes and joints as they move.
Soles engineered with flex grooves - allows for natural foot movement
Best quality supple leather - increases flexibility
No seams or overlays in the flex point - movement is uninhibited
Sole Buddy shoes are made using lightweight rubber which has an open cell structure containing more air than standard rubber, to counterbalance the harder man-made surfaces that we now walk on.
Reducing fatigue, increasing energy and natural bounce!
Shoes should not restrict blood flow, rub or cause blistering. Comfort is essential, especially as children will wear school shoes for more than 40 hours a week.
Sole Buddy shoes are created on an anatomical foot shaped last (form), ensuring that they maintain a natural shape. Extra comfort is added:
Soft padding around the heel providing all day comfort and a better fit. The padding hugs the heel and reduces slip when the child walks or runs. No more blisters!
Purefit TM engineered foam insoles for extra long lasting foot comfort.
Soft and supple leather is kind and pliable on young feet.
The toes and heels of school shoes receive the greatest wear and tear.
Toe and heel rubberised protection allows children to be active and keep Sole Buddy shoes in top shape. This gives added support to growing feet and increases longevity of the shoes.
It is important for footwear to be breathable and wick away perspiration. This maintains our natural body temperature and avoids the growth of bacteria which can cause skin problems.
250,000 sweat glands in our feet can produce 1 cup of water per day!
Sole Buddy shoes use a polyester mesh made from 50% recycled water bottles. This woven material is breathable and moisture wicking. A special antimicrobial treatment also keeps feet clean, dry and smelling fresh every day.
