FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Mary Jane style is generally accommodating, but it is recommended to visit a Clarks professional fitter to ensure the specific width works for your child.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
You can wipe the rubber sole with a damp sponge or cloth to remove dirt and ensure the mermaid-themed tread remains effective.
Can I polish these shoes?
Avoid traditional leather shoe polish. Only use products specifically labeled for patent leather to avoid damaging the glossy finish.
What is the benefit of the Agion lining?
The Agion lining is an antimicrobial treatment that helps control odour-causing bacteria, keeping the inside of the shoe fresh.
Are they machine washable?
No, these shoes are not machine washable. Cleaning should be done by hand with a soft, damp cloth.
Is the strap durable enough for daily use?
Yes, the strap is designed for the frequency of daily wear, but avoid pulling on the strap excessively to maintain the integrity of the fastening system.
Troubleshooting
Strap not staying fastened
Check for debris or lint in the hook-and-loop fastener and clear it out to restore maximum adhesion.
Scuff marks on patent leather
Use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently buff out minor surface scuffs.
Odour buildup
Ensure the shoes are aired out overnight away from the wall to allow moisture to evaporate from the lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, have your child wear the socks they intend to use with the shoes while trying them on. Ensure there is a small amount of wiggle room for toes. For care, keep the patent leather looking sharp by gently wiping the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris after school. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Use a specialized patent leather cleaner periodically to maintain the shine and prevent the material from becoming brittle.
