FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, due to the leather construction and delicate decorative charms, you should only clean these by hand with a soft cloth.
How do I determine the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK children's sizing; we recommend measuring the child's foot in the afternoon when feet are naturally largest for the best fit.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is crafted from durable, high-quality leather designed to offer both comfort and longevity.
Can the riptape be replaced?
The riptape is integrated into the design. If the grip wears out over time, it is best to have it inspected by a professional cobbler.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The riptape closure offers a generous range of adjustability, making them suitable for many foot shapes, though they are built on standard Clarks sizing.
Troubleshooting
Strap not sticking properly
Check the riptape for lint or debris build-up and remove it to restore the adhesive grip.
Scuff marks on the glossy surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp soft cloth to buff out the surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, ensure the riptape is fastened snugly across the instep without being overly tight, which allows for natural foot expansion during the day. Because these are leather shoes, avoid prolonged soaking. To care for the exterior, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove mud or dust. Use a mild leather-safe polish to maintain the glossy shine and hide minor surface scratches. Keep the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen or crack over time.
