FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

Clarks generally recommends wiping these trainers with a damp cloth rather than machine washing to preserve the structural integrity of the materials.

Do these trainers provide good arch support?

Yes, they feature a child-specific last designed to support the natural gait cycle and provide stable underfoot support.

Can I replace the elastic laces?

The elastic laces are integrated into the design; while they are durable, they are not intended for routine replacement.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The riptape strap offers significant adjustability, making them accommodating for various foot widths, though checking the specific fit is recommended.

What is the primary material used?

The trainers incorporate high-quality materials including polyester for durability and comfort.

How do I know if they fit correctly?

There should be a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to allow for growth and natural foot movement.

Troubleshooting

Riptape strap is losing its grip

Check the hook-and-loop surface for lint or debris; clean with a small brush or tweezers to restore adhesion.

Shoes are difficult to slide on

Loosen the elastic laces slightly at the base to create more room for the foot before securing the strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is essential for the longevity of the shoe and the health of the child's foot. Ensure the child is wearing the socks they intend to use with the trainers when trying them on. To maintain the shoes, clean them using a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the trainers in water, as this can affect the adhesive and material integrity. If they become wet inside, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
