FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the Clarks Laser Cross K is specifically designed as a smart, durable school shoe, suitable for daily wear from classroom to playground.
How do the rip-tape fastenings benefit my child?
The dual rip-tape fastenings offer a secure, adjustable fit, making them easy for children to put on and take off independently, while ensuring the shoes stay snug during active play.
What is Microban® odour control and how does it work?
Microban® is an antimicrobial technology integrated into the shoe's lining. It works by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the shoes and your child's feet feeling fresher for longer.
Can my child wear these for playing sports like football?
Absolutely. With their robust sole, enhanced grip, and football boot-inspired details, these shoes are well-suited for active play, including casual games of football, offering both support and durability.
Are the shoes waterproof?
While the leather uppers offer some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, additional waterproofing sprays or appropriate waterproof footwear would be recommended.
What materials are used in the Clarks Laser Cross K?
The uppers are made from supple leather, the lining is textile, and the sole is rubber, providing a combination of durability, comfort, and grip.
How often should I clean these shoes?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth after school is recommended to remove daily dirt. Leather polish should be applied periodically, perhaps once a week or every two weeks, to nourish and protect the leather, depending on wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are developing an odor despite Microban® lining.
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use, especially after intense activity. Remove them from school bags or confined spaces and place them in a well-ventilated area. If the odor persists, consider using an anti-bacterial shoe spray in addition to the Microban® lining.
The rip-tape fastenings are not holding securely.
Over time, lint, dirt, or debris can accumulate on the hook and loop fasteners. Use a stiff brush, comb, or even tweezers to carefully clean out any foreign material from both sides of the rip-tape. This should restore its adhesive strength.
Leather uppers look dull or are showing scuffs.
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Once dry, apply a high-quality black leather polish or cream specifically designed for shoes. Use a soft cloth to buff the polish into the leather, then shine with a clean cloth to restore lustre. For deeper scuffs, a more intensive leather restorer might be needed.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes come from the sole or inside the shoe. Try dusting the inside with a small amount of talcum powder, particularly under the insole, to reduce friction. If the squeaking comes from the sole, it might be due to moisture; ensure shoes are thoroughly dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe.

- Check Fit: Have your child walk around to ensure comfort and proper support. Always ensure a professional fitting if possible.

Care Instructions
To keep your Clarks Laser Cross K shoes in excellent condition, follow these care steps:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather uppers regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Allow to air dry.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a suitable black leather polish or cream to nourish the leather, restore its shine, and help protect it from scuffs.
- Air Out: After wear, especially after active use, remove the shoes and allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area to maximize the effectiveness of the Microban® lining and prevent moisture buildup.
- Avoid Waterlogging: While durable, leather is not entirely waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Check Rip-Tape: Regularly clean any debris from the rip-tape fastenings to ensure they retain their grip.
