Why buy Toughees School Shoes?

Because they are made strong to last long. Every pair is made with Genuine leather and if for some reason a pair fails our high standards of quality control – you have the peace of mind that each pair has a 6 month guarantee against fair wear and tear

Many school children throughout South Africa have to walk kilometres to school, crossing dusty veld, dirty roads and sometimes even streams and small rivers! But this is all taken into account with Toughees. We’ve even had pairs last the entire High School career, from Grade 8 to Grade 12! Now that’s Strong.

They are slightly wider and also lighter, softer and more flexible.
