Ricosta Ray | Middle Width | Black Leather

Searching for a smart, polishable boys' school shoe that combines a sharp, formal look with a modern sporty edge?

The Ricosta Ray boys' black leather school shoes are an exceptional choice for the active school year. Crafted from premium, ultra-soft leather, this lace-up style pairs a highly resilient, uniform-ready upper with a modern athletic silhouette. It offers the ultimate middle ground between a formal classroom aesthetic and the robust, flexible performance needed for lunchtime games.

Key Features of the Ricosta Ray

• Premium Soft Leather: Built from a high-grade, supple natural leather that is exceptionally easy to polish, providing comfortable natural flex and an excellent uniform appearance.
• Easy-Entry Lacing System: The traditional lace fastening allows the shoe to open out widely and easily, making it simple to slip on while giving a secure, personalised fit across the top of the foot.
• Orthotic-Friendly Removable Insoles: Features high-quality, removable textile insoles. This thoughtful design provides the necessary depth required to seamlessly accommodate custom prescription orthotics or podiatry inserts.
• Lightweight, Durable PU Outsole: The injection-moulded PU sole unit provides fantastic everyday traction, shock absorption, and flexibility, remaining comfortably light on his feet all day.

Why Our In-Store Shoe Fitters Recommend the Ray

At our shops in Bourne and Stamford, our professional shoe fitting teams regularly recommend the Ricosta Ray on our fitting stools. Here is what makes it a standout choice for active boys:

• Accommodates Higher Insteps: Because the upper opens out so generously, this style is a fantastic solution for boys who struggle to squeeze into stiffer, traditional formal footwear.
• Padded Heel Counter: Designed with a beautifully padded ankle collar that grips the heel close to the foot, ensuring a rub-free, supportive fit straight out of the box.
• Breathable Textile Interior: Features a soft textile lining and insole combination that actively encourages proper air circulation, keeping active feet fresh through long classroom hours.
