Jan 22, 2025

As the back-to-school season quickly approaches, parents and caregivers everywhere are preparing for another busy school year. Along with the usual tasks like organising the school bag, sorting out uniforms, and ensuring snacks are ready for each day, one thing often gets overlooked - finding the right school shoes.

School shoes are more than just a shoe; they're crucial for your child's comfort, support, and overall well-being. At Ascent, we understand how important it is to invest in the right pair of shoes for your child's growing feet. That's why we've designed a range of school shoes that are not only durable but also endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), ensuring they meet the highest standards for foot health.
