FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Clarks shoes generally come in a variety of widths, but this specific model has a standard fit. We recommend checking your child's specific width requirements.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash leather shoes. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and specialized leather care products.
What is the primary material used?
The upper part of the shoe is crafted from high-quality, durable leather.
Are the shoes heavy for a child to wear?
No, they are designed to be lightweight to prevent foot fatigue during school hours.
Does the strap come loose easily?
The riptape strap is designed to provide a secure fit and is robust enough to stay fastened during normal school activities.
How often should I polish the leather?
Polishing every few weeks or whenever you notice scuffing will help keep the shoes looking new and extend the life of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Riptape strap losing its grip
Check the hook-and-loop fabric for lint or debris. Use a small comb or tweezers to carefully remove any trapped fibers to restore the strap's fastening strength.
Leather looking dull or scuffed
Apply a high-quality black shoe cream or polish using a soft cloth, let it dry, and buff gently with a clean brush.
Inner foam footbed feeling compressed
Remove the shoe and let it air out for at least 24 hours to allow the foam to decompress and recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, measure your child's feet accurately using a standard shoe gauge before selecting a size. The Lock Gem K is designed with a standard school-appropriate fit in mind. To care for these shoes, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth daily to remove dust and dirt. Use a matching black leather polish or cream occasionally to cover minor scuffs and maintain the material's suppleness. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
