Accessibility report for springfootwear.com

Accessibility grade: D
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on June 29, 2026.

Under the ADA in the U.S. — and the European Accessibility Act in the EU — business websites must be accessible. springfootwear.com was checked against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and 13 types of barrier were flagged.

On this page, the most frequent barrier is "Some links have no readable text — usually icon-only links" — found on 13 elements. In total the scan flagged 35 issues across 13 categories of WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA, and the law across the EU under the European Accessibility Act. These barriers block screen-reader, keyboard-only, and low-vision users — and every one of them is fixable. Here's how.

The barriers on this page — and the fixes

An element has a screen-reader hint that doesn't apply to its role.

aria-allowed-attr · critical · 1 instance

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Inappropriate hints can confuse or break screen-reader announcements.

How to fix it: Developer fix: 'this aria-* attribute isn't allowed on this role; remove it or change the role'.

WCAG 1.3.1 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Some users — particularly those using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or who have low vision or motor disabilities — may have trouble using this part of the page.

How to fix it: Share the technical rule ID with your developer. They can look up the full fix at https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe.

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Some buttons have no description that screen readers can announce.

button-name · critical · 2 instances

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Visual users see an icon (a heart, a trash can, an X), but screen-reader users hear only 'button' — they don't know if it'll favorite a post, delete it, or close a dialog. This is a critical accessibility blocker and a top lawsuit driver.

How to fix it: Every button needs a text label. If you can't put text inside the button (icon-only design), in your platform's button settings look for an 'Aria label' or 'Screen reader text' field — fill it with what the button does ('Close', 'Add to cart', 'Open menu').

A custom input control (search box, range slider, custom date picker) has no name.

aria-input-field-name · serious · 1 instance

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Custom controls are common in modern site builders — they look fancy but break for screen-reader users when not labeled.

How to fix it: This is a developer fix. Ask: 'custom inputs with role=textbox / searchbox / slider / spinbutton need an aria-label or aria-labelledby'.

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

A frame on the page can't be navigated by keyboard.

frame-focusable-content · serious · 1 instance

WCAG 2.1.1 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects keyboard-only users

Why it matters: Keyboard users get stuck — they can't reach interactive content inside the frame.

How to fix it: Developer fix: 'iframes containing interactive content shouldn't have tabindex=-1 on their parent or content'.

Some links have no readable text — usually icon-only links.

link-name · serious · 13 instances

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Screen-reader users hear 'link' but not where the link goes. Users navigate by listening to a list of links — useless if every entry is just 'link, link, link'.

How to fix it: In your site editor, for icon-only links (social-media icons, navigation arrows), set an 'Aria label' or 'Title' field describing where it goes ('Follow us on Twitter', 'Next page').

An interactive element (link, button) is inside another interactive element.

nested-interactive · serious · 1 instance

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects keyboard-only users

Why it matters: Keyboard and screen-reader users can't reliably reach the inner element. Common in 'card-as-link' designs where a button sits inside a clickable card.

How to fix it: Developer fix: 'avoid putting buttons inside links or links inside buttons; use a single interactive element with internal helpers'.

An element is marked as decorative but is also focusable or has a description — contradictory.

presentation-role-conflict · minor · 1 instance

Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Screen readers handle this inconsistently; some announce it anyway, some don't, leaving users with mixed experiences.

How to fix it: Developer fix: 'role=presentation/none cannot coexist with focusability or aria-label'.
