The School by Bobux range offers styles in premium, patent and coated black leathers. It also features innovations including the super durable Kid+ BBX Rubber Sole; removable memory foam innersole; waterproof options; a custom last for more refined styling, and extra-tough hook-and-loop straps.

The full collection includes nine styles: Brave (also available in patent); Venture (also available in patent); Venture Waterproof; Leap; Leap Waterproof; Quest; Journey (also available in patent); Rova, and Jodhpur.
