FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, these are leather shoes and should not be machine washed as it can damage the material and construction.
What is the best way to determine the right size?
We recommend using a professional shoe gauge or following the Clarks size guide to ensure adequate room for growth, typically about a thumb's width of space at the front.
Are the decorative charms removable?
The charms are integrated into the design to ensure they stay secure; they are not intended to be removed.
Can I use these for sports activities?
While the shoes are durable enough for daily school wear, they are not designed as dedicated athletic sports shoes.
How do I maintain the leather?
Keep them clean with a damp cloth and apply leather conditioner or polish regularly to prevent drying and cracking.
Troubleshooting
Riptape strap losing grip
Check the hook-and-loop fabric for trapped lint or threads and use a small brush to remove debris.
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Apply a high-quality black leather shoe cream and buff with a soft cloth to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Clarks Lock Gem shoes, keep them away from excessive moisture and heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather. Clean the leather uppers regularly with a soft, damp cloth and use an appropriate black shoe cream to cover scuffs and maintain the finish. For the soles, use a soft brush to remove dirt or debris from the Magic Steps tread to preserve the pattern. Ensure you check the riptape periodically; if lint or dust accumulates in the hooks, use a clean toothpick or brush to clear them out to maintain a strong grip.
