FAQs
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These Clarks Scape Sky shoes are specifically designed for 'kids', offering durability and comfort for their active routines.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear and active children?
Yes, they are highly suitable. The durable leather, protective accents, and flexible sole are built to withstand active play and daily school use, while providing comfort and support.
How do I clean and care for the leather material?
Wipe the shoes regularly with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner, then apply a leather protector and black shoe polish to maintain their finish and repel stains. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
What does 'triple riptape fastening' mean?
It refers to three adjustable hook-and-loop (often known as Velcro-style) straps across the top of the foot. This system allows for easy on/off and a customizable, secure fit.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, the majority of the shoe's lining is made from 50% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
Yes, the Clarks Scape Sky range is available in different widths in addition to whole and half sizes, allowing for a more precise and comfortable fit for various foot shapes.
Can these shoes be used for sports activities?
While durable and flexible, these are primarily designed as school shoes for general daily wear and light activity. For dedicated sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended to provide optimal support and protection.
Troubleshooting
Riptape straps are not holding securely.
Ensure the Riptape is clean and free from fluff, dirt, or debris which can hinder its grip. Press firmly along the entire length of each strap when fastening. If the Riptape itself appears worn or damaged, the shoes may be reaching the end of their functional lifespan.
Shoes feel uncomfortably tight or loose.
First, re-adjust all three Riptape fastenings to ensure an optimal fit. If discomfort persists, verify that you purchased the correct size and width. Clarks Scape Sky are available in whole and half sizes, and different widths, to ensure a proper fit. An incorrect size or width is a common cause of discomfort.
Foot odor persists despite the antimicrobial lining.
While the antimicrobial lining helps, ensure your child's feet are clean and dry before wearing the shoes. Allow the shoes to air out completely after each wear. If the problem continues, consider using breathable cotton socks or specialized odor-absorbing insoles, and check for proper shoe fit as poor ventilation can contribute to odor.

Setup and First Use
Upon receiving your Clarks Scape Sky shoes, open the triple riptape fastenings. Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably at the back. Fasten each of the three Riptape straps, starting from the lowest one, adjusting them to provide a snug yet comfortable fit without being too tight. Check that there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for kids and are available in various UK whole and half sizes, as well as different widths, to accommodate a range of foot shapes. Ensure you select the correct size and width for optimal comfort and foot health.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: As the shoes are made from leather, wipe them clean regularly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialist leather cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally.
- Protection: Apply a suitable leather protector spray regularly to repel water and stains, helping to preserve the material.
- Polishing: Use black shoe polish to maintain the leather's finish and cover any scuffs. Buff to a shine for a neat appearance.
- Lining Care: The antimicrobial infused lining helps reduce odors. To maintain freshness, allow the shoes to air out fully after each wear, especially if feet have been particularly active.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, stuff them lightly with newspaper and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather.
