As the new year kicks off, Australian parents are turning their attention to the back-to-school checklist. A key item, school shoes, just got a lot more affordable thanks to a major sale from a trusted local brand.
Major Savings on a Nationwide Favourite
Shoes & Sox, a specialist in children's footwear since 1948, has slashed prices by twenty-five per cent on its popular Harrison Daytona range. This sale offers the perfect chance to gear up for the new term without breaking the bank. The Daytona is a staple in schools across the country, worn by students from Primary right through to High School.
The price cuts are significant. The Daytona Senior has been reduced from $159.95 down to just $102.36. For younger students, the Daytona Youth model is now available for $119.96, down from its original price of $149.95. This sale presents a timely opportunity for families to invest in quality footwear ahead of the 2026 school year.
Crafted for Comfort and Durability
Every pair from Shoes & Sox is designed with growing feet in mind. The Harrison Daytona combines a smart premium leather upper with leather linings, ensuring both comfort and breathability for all-day wear. A standout feature is the availability of half sizes and multiple widths, including Extra Wide, making it easier to find the perfect fit for any foot shape.
"My son has a very narrow foot and we can never find the perfect fit anywhere else," shared a satisfied Queensland mother, highlighting the brand's commitment to fit. The shoes are designed to mould to the wearer's foot over time, thanks to a soft leather lining, becoming uniquely comfortable for each child.
Durability is a key focus. The lightweight PU outsole provides flexibility and long-lasting wear, while also making scuffs and dirt easy to clean with a simple polish. For added support, the Harrison Daytona features a firm heel counter and padded collar to secure the ankle, a crucial factor for active school days.
Quality That Gives Back
Choosing these shoes supports more than just your child's steps. From now until 8 February 2026, Harrisons has partnered with the charity Red Kite. For every pair of Harrison Daytona shoes sold in-store or online, $1 will be donated to support the Red Kite community.
Parents have consistently praised the shoes' quality and comfort. "This is a very comfortable and durable pair of school shoes. It provides good support for my growing child’s foot," said one mum. Another customer, Claudia, noted of the Extra Wide Senior Boys shoe: "Perfect fit. Comfortable from the start. Great quality."
With the new school year on the horizon, the Shoes & Sox sale allows families to secure a trusted, Australian-owned product while enjoying substantial savings and contributing to a good cause. It's a chance to start the academic year on the right foot—comfortably, durably, and affordably.
