Feather Shine - Clarks - Black - 12

The Clarks Feathershine shoes are designed with a standard fit. While the double riptape straps offer some adjustability, children with exceptionally wide feet may find them snug. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.

For general dirt, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.

Microban® is an antimicrobial technology integrated into the shoe's lining. It helps to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria, keeping the shoes feeling and smelling fresher for longer.

While the Feathershine has a sporty look and a lightweight sole, it's primarily designed as a school shoe for everyday wear and general playground activity. For dedicated sports, we recommend specialized athletic footwear that provides specific support and cushioning.

Yes, the reflective details are designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions by reflecting light from sources such as car headlights, enhancing safety for your child.

The Feathershine features a super-lightweight TPR (thermoplastic rubber) sole combined with a moulded rubber heel piece. This construction is designed to offer good durability for active children during daily school wear and play.

The double riptape straps offer several benefits: they allow for easy and independent on/off for children, provide a secure and adjustable fit for various foot shapes, and help prevent the shoe from slipping off during activity.

Ensure the double riptape straps are fully opened before inserting the foot. Guide the foot using the built-in heel and tongue loops. If struggling, check the child's sock thickness or foot position.

While Microban reduces odour, it's not a complete eliminator. Ensure shoes are aired out daily after wear. Consider using moisture-wicking socks and ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. If the issue persists, a shoe deodorizer can be used.

The synthetic upper is designed for easy cleaning. Wipe down daily with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then air dry away from direct heat.

Check if any debris (e.g., mud, fluff) is caught in the 'hook and loop' part of the riptape, as this can prevent it from fastening properly. Clean the straps with a small brush or a lint roller. If the straps are worn out, they might need professional repair or replacement.

The Feathershine shoe features a standard fit. Ensure the riptape straps are adjusted properly—not too tight to restrict circulation, and not too loose to allow excessive movement. If persistent, consider having your child's feet measured again or trying a different width fitting if available (though this specific model is noted as standard fit).
