FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for children with wider feet?
These trainers feature a standard fit. While the three rip tape straps offer good adjustability, they may not provide enough accommodation for exceptionally wide feet. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the canvas material, the sparkle detail, and the overall construction of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided for gentle hand cleaning.
How do I maintain the sparkle on the shoes?
To maintain the sparkle, clean the canvas gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh scrubbing. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat. Excessive rubbing or abrasive cleaners can cause the sparkle to diminish over time.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the canvas upper of the Clarks Foxing Brill trainers is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions and light moisture. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet environments.
What activities are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday wear, including school, casual play, walking, and light recreational activities. The cushioned sole provides comfort for prolonged use in dry conditions.
How often should I check the fit of my child's shoes?
Children's feet grow quickly. It's recommended to check the fit of their shoes every 6-8 weeks for toddlers and every 3-4 months for older children to ensure they still have adequate growing room.
Troubleshooting
The rip tape straps are not holding securely.
Check both sides of the rip tape fasteners for accumulated lint, threads, or dirt. Use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) or tweezers to carefully remove any debris, which will restore the grip of the fasteners.
The canvas upper looks dirty or stained.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rub lightly in circular motions. For tougher stains, you can try a specialized canvas cleaner. Always air dry the shoes completely afterwards.
The shoes feel too tight or too loose on my child's foot.
Ensure all three rip tape straps are adjusted correctly. For a tighter fit, pull the straps more firmly before securing. For a looser fit, ease the tension. Also, check the thickness of the socks your child is wearing; thinner or thicker socks can impact the fit. If the issue persists, consider having your child's foot professionally measured.
The sparkle detail seems to be wearing off.
The sparkle is designed for durability with normal wear. To best preserve it, avoid excessive rubbing, especially during cleaning. Always use gentle cleaning methods as described in the 'Care' section.

Setup
- Opening the Straps: Fully open all three rip tape straps.
- Inserting the Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is seated comfortably at the back.
- Adjusting for Fit: Start by fastening the bottom strap closest to the toes, then the middle, and finally the top strap around the ankle. Ensure each strap is snug but not overly tight. You should be able to slide a finger easily under the strap.
- Checking Toe Room: There should be approximately a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
These trainers are ideal for everyday wear, casual outings, school, and light play. Their design and material make them well-suited for dry conditions. They are not recommended for heavy-duty sports, hiking in rough terrain, or prolonged exposure to very wet environments.
Care
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the canvas upper with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the canvas and sparkle detail. For dried mud or dirt, allow it to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a soft brush.
- Sole Care: Wipe the EVA cushioned sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Rip Tape Maintenance: Periodically inspect the rip tape fasteners for lint, threads, or dirt that might accumulate and reduce their grip. Use a small brush or tweezers to gently remove any obstructions.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the material to shrink or crack.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the construction, material, and sparkle.
