Shoes in the Gymnasium

Westland High School —

Looking after the brand new floor in the Gymnasium doesn't have to be expensive.

Foot wear is expensive for kids and so we'd like to ensure people aren't getting misinformation regarding what can and can't be used in the Gymnasium. 

To protect the floors students can either wear bare feet (the cheapest option) or sports shoes that do not leave marks on the floor. If you are looking at purchasing shoes to use in the gym or for sports, the best option is to purchase an indoor sports shoe. These don't leave marks on the floor. Or you can purchase a sports shoe that is non-marking.

Uniform shoes are not appropriate as they leave marks and students will be asked to remove them before taking part in classes held within the gym.
