Full details
The Clarks Magic Steps Low Shoes are designed for active children who need a reliable, comfortable school shoe that blends vintage 80s aesthetics with modern durability. Featuring a high-quality patent leather upper and a whimsical archival-inspired sole design, these shoes are perfect for transitioning from the classroom to the playground. While they provide excellent stability and comfort, the patent leather finish requires regular cleaning to maintain its signature shine and prevent scuff buildup.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, these shoes are made of leather and should not be placed in a washing machine. Wipe them down with a damp cloth instead.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The shoes feature a comfortable PU foam footbed that provides cushioning suitable for everyday activities.
How do I know if the fit is right?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between the end of the toes and the front of the shoe to allow for growth and movement.
What is the Magic Key design on the sole?
It is a decorative, archival detail from the original 80s collection that adds a fun element to the bottom of the shoe.
Are they suitable for wider feet?
The adjustable riptape strap allows for a degree of flexibility, making them adaptable to various foot volumes.
How long will the Agion lining last?
The antimicrobial properties are designed to last for the reasonable life of the shoe, provided the interior is kept clean and dry.
Troubleshooting
Riptape strap is losing its stickiness
Clean the hook-and-loop fabric with a small brush or tweezers to remove lint and debris that prevent the fastening from gripping.
Patent leather has developed scuff marks
Use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a very small amount of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs.
Shoes feel too tight after a few months
Check if the child has outgrown the size; consider removing the inner liner temporarily or transitioning to the next size up if the toes reach the front.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the riptape strap is fastened snugly across the instep without being overly restrictive. To clean the patent leather, simply wipe the uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and maintain the gloss. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the patent coating. Because these shoes feature an antimicrobial Agion lining, they are naturally resistant to odors, but it is recommended to let them air out overnight if they become damp from sweat or rainy weather. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from cracking over time.
