FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the durable leather offers some resistance to splashes and light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof and are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

How often should I clean these shoes?

It's recommended to wipe down the leather upper as needed, particularly after active play, to prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough clean, including the sole, can be done weekly or bi-weekly depending on usage.

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear at school?

Yes, with their padded tongue and collar, and antimicrobial lining, the Clarks Steggy Stride are designed for long-lasting comfort and freshness, making them ideal for all-day wear at school and during active play.

What type of activities are these shoes best for?

These shoes are best suited for everyday casual wear, playground activities, imaginative play, and general active use where durability, comfort, and good traction are important, such as walking, running, and climbing.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

Clarks recommends measuring your child's feet or consulting their official size guide for the most accurate fit. The elastic lace and riptape fastening allow for some adjustability to ensure a snug and comfortable fit once the correct size is chosen.

Does the antimicrobial lining need special care?

No, the Microban antimicrobial lining is integrated into the shoe and does not require special care. Simply follow the general cleaning and drying instructions for the shoes to maintain its effectiveness and overall freshness.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty or scuffed quickly.

Regular cleaning is key. For the leather upper, wipe down with a damp cloth or use a mild leather cleaner. The rubber toe bumper can be wiped clean, and the sole brushed off. This maintains appearance and longevity.

Foot odor is noticeable after wear, despite antimicrobial lining.

While the Microban lining reduces odor-causing bacteria, proper ventilation is still important. Ensure shoes are aired out after each use. If odor persists, consider using a shoe deodorizer or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight.

Child finds it difficult to put on or secure the shoes properly.

Check that the elastic laces are fully expanded before inserting the foot. Ensure the riptape strap is pulled taut enough to secure the foot without being too tight, and pressed down firmly across its entire surface. Practice makes perfect for young children.

Pros and Cons

  • Hygienic Wear: Microban antimicrobial lining keeps shoes feeling fresh and helps control odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Opening the Shoe: Gently pull back the riptape strap and expand the elastic laces to create a wide opening.
  2. Inserting the Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is seated comfortably at the back.
  3. Securing the Fit: Press the riptape strap firmly across the top of the foot to achieve a snug, secure fit. The elastic laces will adjust to the foot's shape, providing flexibility.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed for kids.
  • Gender: Male (though often considered unisex for children's casual wear).
  • Usage: Ideal for everyday casual wear, active play, school, and outdoor adventures. Not intended for formal occasions.
  • Sizes: Available in various UK children's sizes, including UK 9, 11, 12, 13, 1, and 8, with some variants offering standard or wide fit options.
  • Material Compatibility: Best paired with socks for comfort and to maximize the effectiveness of the antimicrobial lining.

Care

  • Cleaning the Leather: For general dirt, wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for children's shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) and a little water to clean the rubber outsole and remove dirt from the flex-grooves.
  • Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  • Odor Control: The Microban lining helps maintain freshness. To further aid this, remove shoes after use and allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area. If needed, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight, then shake out.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
