FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the durable black leather, protective toe bumper, and comfortable padding make the Steggy Stride shoes highly suitable for daily school activities and playground fun.
What is Microban odour control?
Microban is an antimicrobial technology integrated into the shoe's lining. It works continuously to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the shoes fresher for longer.
Can my child put these shoes on by themselves?
Absolutely! The elastic lace system combined with the easy-to-manage riptape fastening is designed to allow children to put on and take off their shoes independently, fostering self-sufficiency.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light splashes, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For optimal protection in wet conditions, we recommend treating them with a suitable leather protector or opting for dedicated waterproof footwear.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Based on the available product information, the Steggy Stride series is currently offered in black leather for this specific model. Other variants may exist in different colors, but not for this particular product configuration.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's feet and consulting the Clarks size chart. It's often best to get their feet measured professionally to ensure the best fit, especially with growing feet. Ensure there's enough room for growth without the shoe being too loose.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight on my child's foot.
Ensure the riptape fastening is adjusted correctly. It should be snug but not restrictive. For persistent fit issues, double-check your child's current shoe size against a reliable sizing guide and consider professional fitting if available.
Despite the Microban lining, the shoes are developing an odor.
While Microban helps, intense activity or dampness can still lead to odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly aired out after each use. Remove any insoles (if removable) to air them separately. You can also lightly spray with a shoe deodorizer designed for children's footwear.
Scuffs and marks are appearing on the rubber toe bumper and outsole.
Minor scuffs on the rubber are normal with active wear and can often be reduced with a rubber cleaner or a gentle rub with a damp cloth. The rubber toe bumper is designed for protection, so some cosmetic wear is expected as it performs its function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Steggy Stride shoes is simple:
- Open the Fastenings: Fully loosen the riptape strap and elastic laces.
- Insert Foot: Help your child slide their foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Adjust Riptape: Secure the riptape strap snugly across the top of the foot. It should be firm but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
- Check Fit: Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel secure around the ankle and instep.
Compatibility
- Age Group: These shoes are designed specifically for kids.
- Gender: The design is unisex, suitable for both boys and girls.
- Sizing: Available in various UK child sizes. Be aware that different fit options (e.g., standard, wide) may be available for specific variants. Always refer to a sizing guide if unsure.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your Steggy Stride shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the black leather upper with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for children's footwear, following the product instructions. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Outsole and Toe Bumper: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to clean dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and toe bumper.
- Odor Control: The Microban lining helps prevent odors, but for best results, allow shoes to air out after wear, especially if they become damp.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the leather and structural integrity of the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
