We’re stepping up to stop school bullying.

Each pair of Schoolskoen school shoes comes with a free year’s subscription to ‘Are You Ok?’

52% of South African kids experience some form of school & cyber bullying.

Areyouok.co.za is a digital mental health platform with access to qualified therapists and free coursework to help kids combat bullying & deal with school stress.

For every pair of Schoolskoen Shoes bought we will donate a pair of school shoes to our selected charity partners.

By buying a pair of our shoes you can be a tangible part of changing a young South African’s life and shaping their educational journey.

Not only do you get an amazing pair of shoes (comfort, quality and heritage styling) but you also get a chance to partner with us to do good.

Charity Ticker/Counter

This is to show the volume of shoes we have given away since December 2025.

It does not have to be a live ticker, we will update the number at the end of each month to be changed

Since Dec 2025

Pairs of Softer Shoes

To date we have given (as of end April) away

We relate this back to the number of pairs of shoes that no longer need to be bought by an under-resourced family, normally associated with an average retail value of around R250/pair of shoes. We believe this is what then gets released back into the local circular economy. Taking the above number of shoes into account, this relates to a value of R308 250.
