FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather is water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid submerging them in deep puddles.

What is the benefit of the Microban lining?

Microban is an antimicrobial treatment that helps inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the shoes fresher for longer.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The design features a standard fit, but the padded tongue and collar offer some adjustability for comfort.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives in the sole unit. Always clean by hand.

How often should I polish the leather?

Depending on wear, a light polish every 2–4 weeks is usually sufficient to maintain the leather's appearance and health.

What age group are these for?

These are specifically designed for school-aged kids, focusing on support for growing feet and active lifestyles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt

Check the Clarks size guide to ensure the current size remains appropriate, as growing feet require regular reassessment.

Scuff marks on the leather

Apply a black shoe polish or a leather-matching cream to the scuffed area to restore the color and finish.

Sole losing traction

Ensure the soles are free from dried mud or debris; use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the flex grooves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather material handles daily school wear well
  • Microban lining significantly reduces odor buildup
  • Highly flexible sole promotes natural gait development
  • Padded features prevent rubbing and blisters

  • Available in specific children's sizing which may limit selection
  • Not intended for heavy-duty wet weather or deep puddles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Clarks Somerset Flex shoes, follow these care instructions:

  1. Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods at home initially to allow the leather to soften to the shape of the foot.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  3. Conditioning: Use a leather-safe cream or polish occasionally to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Drying: If the shoes become damp inside, air-dry them naturally at room temperature. Never place them directly on a heater, as this can dry out and damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
