The Atomic Black School Shoe

We know that finding the right pair of school shoes for your little one can be tough. They need to be durable, breathable and well made as well as safe for their still-forming feet.

That's why we are so excited to be a stockist of Zig + Star black leather school shoes. The Atomic is an everyday kids' shoe with a side order of attitude. The classic design ditches the bulk of toe bumpers and weight of heavy rubber soles to create a far more flexible shoe that is Podiatrist approved and recommended. The innovative 'Good-To-Grow' removable midsole is a complete game changer, meaning they accommodate up to half a size of growth so that your purchase lasts longer and there's no need to size up.

Zig + Star shoes fit true to size and are kid-friendly thanks to adjustable straps and flexible, durable natural rubber soles.

Composition and details:

Premium chrome free leather uppers, double hook and loop adjustable straps

Natural tan pigskin lining and insock (some colour transfer may occur)

Memory Foam moulded leather insock for added comfort and support

Innovative, hidden midsole which aids fit adjustability and, once removed, allows extra room to grow

Lightweight shoe made from non-toxic materials, all fully tested

Natural rubber outsole for flexibility and durability with unique asymmetric slip-resistant design

Suitable for wide and narrow fit

Recycled, re-usable shoe box with handy measuring chart inside.

Care Guide

We hope you love ZIG+STAR shoes and get as much wear out of them as you possibly can. We think a few scuffs add to the story of their adventures, but a little bit of care will help them last longer.

Leather is a natural, breathable material - when it becomes wet simply pat with a dry cloth and leave to dry naturally out of direct sunlight and away from radiators

Mud is best removed by leaving to dry out before removeing with a light brushing (use a soft brush such as a child's toothbrush if you don't have a specific shoe brush.) Any remaining marks can be removed with a clean, damp cloth

Keep fastenings fresh by brushing away any fluff with a clean toothbrush

Light scuffs can be sorted by rubbing a matching coloured shoe polish over the affected area

Do not bleach, soak, machine wash or tumble dry

For gentle, natural deodorising try putting a quarter cup of bicarbonate of soda in a clean pair of socks or tights and tie tightly. Place in the shoes and leave overnight or over a weekend to allow odours to be absorbed without mess.
