FAQs

What age are these shoes suitable for?

These shoes are designed for toddlers and pre-walkers who are just starting to take their first steps or are exploring walking.

How do I choose the right size for my child?

It's best to have your child's feet professionally measured. If not possible, measure their foot length and compare it to a Clarks size chart for toddlers. Remember to account for growth.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor play?

Yes, they are suitable for light outdoor use on even surfaces like pavements, parks, or garden paths. They are not designed for rugged terrain or intense play.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a leather cleaner made for sensitive leather. Allow to air dry naturally.

What does 'barefoot freedom' mean?

It refers to the shoe's design, which uses minimal, flexible soles to allow the foot to move as naturally as if barefoot. This helps with balance development and strengthens foot muscles.

Is the F fit suitable for all foot widths?

The F fit is a standard UK kids' width size. While suitable for most, children with exceptionally wide or narrow feet might find specialized fittings more comfortable.

Can these shoes be worn without socks?

Thanks to the chrome-free leather sock lining, these shoes are comfortable to wear with or without socks, promoting a breathable foot environment.

Troubleshooting

Shoes seem too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct size. Check the Riptape straps are adjusted properly; they should be snug but allow a finger to slide underneath. Re-measure your child's feet regularly as they grow quickly.

Child resists wearing the shoes

Ensure the shoes are comfortable and not pinching. Introduce them gradually, letting your child wear them for short periods first. Make it a fun routine.

Leather appears dry or scuffed

Clean the leather gently with a damp cloth. Apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish designed for children's shoes or delicate leather to restore its appearance and suppleness. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth.

Soles seem slippery on certain surfaces

The soft rubber sole is designed for flexibility and ground contact. While it provides good grip on most indoor and paved surfaces, always supervise your child on very smooth, wet, or uneven ground. These are not designed for extreme grip in all conditions.
