FAQs

What is Microban® odour control lining?

Microban® is an antimicrobial technology integrated into the shoe's lining. It actively inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep your child's shoes feeling fresher for longer.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?

The Clarks Laser Cross K is a sporty school shoe with football boot-inspired details, offering good grip and flexibility for active play like running and schoolyard sports. However, for specialized or high-impact sports, dedicated athletic footwear designed for those specific activities may offer more tailored support and performance.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

Always refer to the Clarks sizing guide, and ideally, have your child's feet measured professionally. When trying on, ensure there is about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that the heel fits snugly without slipping.

What does '50% planet friendly mesh lining' mean?

This indicates that half of the material used in the shoe's mesh lining is sourced or produced using methods that are considered more environmentally responsible, contributing to reduced ecological impact compared to conventional materials.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The `leather` and `mesh` upper offers some protection from light moisture. However, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions, waterproof footwear is recommended to keep feet dry.

How do the elastic laces and riptape strap work together?

The elastic laces provide a flexible, accommodating fit that stretches with movement. The `riptape` strap then offers a secure, adjustable closure over the laces, allowing children to easily tighten or loosen the shoe for a perfect, independent fit without needing to tie traditional laces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes develop an unpleasant odour despite Microban® lining.

Ensure shoes are aired out regularly after wear. If necessary, clean the interior with a mild disinfectant spray safe for shoe linings and allow to fully dry. The Microban® lining works best when the shoe is clean.

The riptape strap is not holding securely.

Check the `riptape` for lint, dirt, or debris that might be preventing a secure closure. Clean both sides of the strap with a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to restore its grip. Ensure the strap is aligned properly when fastening.

Reduced grip on the sole.

Inspect the `rubber` and `EVA sole` for any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones that might be reducing traction. Clean the grooves of the sole with a stiff brush and water to restore its original grip. Ensure shoes are dry before wear.

Leather or mesh upper appears dirty or scuffed.

For `leather` sections, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt, followed by a suitable leather conditioner. For `mesh` areas, gently scrub with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soapy water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting the Clarks Laser Cross K ready is straightforward:

  1. Adjusting the Fit: Unfasten the `riptape` strap completely.
  2. Inserting Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
  3. Securing the Strap: Pull the `riptape` strap across the top of the foot and fasten it firmly to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit. The elastic laces are designed to provide flexibility without needing constant re-tying.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the fresh feel of the Laser Cross K:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the `leather` and `mesh` upper, gently wipe dirt and scuffs with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner for the leather parts and a soft brush with mild soap for the mesh sections. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Maintaining Odour Control: Allow shoes to air out regularly after wear. If the odour control seems less effective, ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as the Microban® lining works best in a clean environment.
  • Sole Care: Regularly check the sole for embedded stones or debris and carefully remove them to maintain optimal grip and prevent damage.
  • Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent damage to materials.
