Product Information
Full details
The Clarks Branch Low is an ideal school shoe for active boys who need a blend of smart aesthetics and playground-ready durability. Inspired by the classic Wallabee design, it features premium leather construction and a breathable, odor-resistant interior to keep feet fresh throughout long school days. While the sturdy design offers excellent longevity, parents should note that the moccasin-style stitching requires proper care to maintain its polished look against harsh scuffs.

FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather upper provides natural protection against light rain, but they are not fully waterproof and should be dried naturally if they get wet.
How do I clean the Microban lining?
The lining is designed to control odor naturally. If needed, wipe the interior with a slightly damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Branch Low has a standard fit, but the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment in volume for varying foot shapes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the leather and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods only.
What is the benefit of the non-marking sole?
The non-marking sole is designed to prevent black scuff marks on polished school floors, making them ideal for indoor settings.
How often should I polish the leather?
It is recommended to polish them every two to four weeks depending on how frequently the shoes are worn and how much scuffing occurs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after a few weeks
Check the thickness of the socks and ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry; leather may naturally contour to the foot over time.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface abrasions and restore the color consistency.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a tight double-knot is used, or consider replacing the laces with a slightly more textured lace material if the factory laces feel too slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure your child wears the type of socks they would typically wear to school when trying them on, as this affects the internal volume. To keep the leather in top condition, wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth after school. Apply a high-quality black shoe cream periodically to restore the finish and cover any scuffs. To prevent moisture buildup, allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area overnight, as this allows the Microban lining to work most effectively in keeping the shoe environment hygienic.
