Proper Footwear

Tennis shoes must be worn for PE at all times. Acceptable shoes may be lace up or Velcro, be well-fitting, and non-marking. If the shoe comes off during activity, that is not deemed “well-fitting.”  Dress shoes and boots (Ugg style, hiking, cowboy boots, work boots, Doc Martens, Timberlands) should be avoided. Crocs, slippers, lounge-type shoes, water shoes, or foam bottom shoes (Hey Dudes) are not acceptable for PE. Dress shoes/boots, or anything with a raised heel should not be worn to PE. Students should NOT wear shoes to PE where “creasing” is a concern, as this causes the student to withdraw from activity or alter their natural movements which can cause chronic injury.

    • Ugg style
    • Hiking
