Troubleshooting

Shoes appear scuffed or dirty quickly

Regularly wipe the patent leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consider using a patent leather specific cleaner to restore shine.

Child complains of discomfort or rubbing

First, ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Verify your child is wearing appropriate socks. Allow for a short break-in period as new shoes may initially feel stiff. If discomfort persists, consult a shoe fitting specialist.

Sole design (magic key) is wearing off

The 'magic key' design on the sole is a decorative feature and natural wear and tear will occur with regular use, especially with active play. This is normal and does not affect the shoe's functional performance or grip.

Gem detailing has come off

While designed to be secure, accidental impacts during play can sometimes dislodge gems. If a gem is lost, contact Clarks customer service for advice on repair or replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Remove shoes from packaging. Keep any sizing inserts or tissue paper for storage if desired.
  2. First Fit: Have your child try on the shoes with their usual school socks. Ensure there is adequate room for toes and no pinching around the sides or heel.
  3. Lacing/Fastening: Ensure the strap/fastening is secure but not overly tight, allowing for comfortable movement.
  4. Break-In Period: Allow for a short break-in period where your child wears the shoes for shorter durations to adapt to the fit.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed to be highly compatible with standard school uniform requirements, particularly in their classic black patent leather finish. Their durable construction makes them suitable for daily wear in diverse school environments, from classrooms to playgrounds. They are sized for kids, specifically UK size 7, catering to young learners.

Care

To maximize the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your Magic Step Bar Kids School Shoes:

  • Daily Cleaning: Wipe the patent leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and scuffs.
  • Stubborn Marks: For more persistent marks, use a cleaner specifically formulated for patent leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
  • Protecting Embellishments: While durable, the gem detailing should be treated with care to prevent accidental dislodgement during rough play.
