FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, the Clarks Laser Cross K is designed as a durable and comfortable option for everyday school wear, especially for active children. Its robust construction and protective features make it suitable for various school activities.

How do the elastic laces and riptape closure work?

The shoes feature elastic laces that provide a flexible, secure fit without the need for tying. The riptape straps allow for quick and easy adjustments, making it simple for children to put on and take off their shoes independently and achieve a comfortable, snug fit.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.

What is Microban® odour control?

Microban® is an antimicrobial technology integrated into the shoe's lining. It actively helps to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the shoes feeling fresher for longer.

Are these shoes good for playing football?

Inspired by football boots and featuring enhanced grip and protection, these shoes are suitable for light football activities during school breaks or casual play. For serious or structured football training, specialized football boots would be more appropriate.

How durable are the soles of these shoes?

The soles are made from a lightweight, impact-absorbing rubber and EVA blend, incorporating flex grooves for durability and enhanced natural foot motion. They are designed to withstand the demands of active kids on various surfaces.

What type of activities are these shoes best for?

These shoes are best suited for daily school activities, playground fun, running, casual outdoor play, and light sports. Their design prioritizes comfort, protection, and durability for active children.

How should I clean the mixed leather and mesh upper?

For routine cleaning, wipe the leather and mesh with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild cleaner specifically designed for footwear with mixed materials. Always allow them to air dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Shoes develop an odor despite Microban® lining.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear, especially if feet sweat significantly. Remove any insoles if present and allow them to dry separately. For persistent odor, consider using shoe deodorizers or natural alternatives like baking soda sachets overnight.

Riptape straps are losing their grip.

Over time, lint and debris can accumulate on the hook-and-loop fasteners. Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) or a fine-toothed comb to gently clean out any trapped fibers from both sides of the riptape to restore its adhesion.

The shoe feels uncomfortable or rubs.

First, re-check the sizing. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. Adjust the riptape straps to ensure they are snug but not overtight. If discomfort persists, inspect the inside of the shoe for any loose stitching or debris, and verify the shoe is the correct size and width for your child's foot.

Soles appear to be losing grip or becoming slippery.

Inspect the sole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the grooves to ensure maximum traction. If the sole appears significantly worn down, it may indicate the shoes are nearing the end of their functional life for active use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for active children, providing durability and support.
  • Microban® technology effectively controls and prevents shoe odor.
  • Easy for kids to put on and take off independently with elastic laces and riptape.
  • Offers enhanced protection for toes and heels during vigorous play.
  • Comfortable for extended wear thanks to padded collar and tongue.
  • Sole design promotes natural foot movement and good grip.

Cons

  • Sporty design might not align with stricter school uniform guidelines for formal footwear.
  • Elastic laces, while convenient, offer less precise adjustability compared to traditional tie laces.
  • Mixed materials (leather and mesh) may require specific care for optimal longevity.
  • Black color may highlight dust or dirt more readily in very active environments.

Setup

  1. Open Straps: Fully open the riptape strap(s) across the top of the shoe.
  2. Slide Foot In: Gently slide your child's foot into the shoe, guiding their toes forward.
  3. Secure Riptape: Pull the riptape strap(s) firmly but comfortably across the top of the foot and press down to secure. The elastic laces are designed to provide a snug fit without needing to be tied.
  4. Check Fit: Ensure there is adequate space at the toe (approx. a thumb's width) and the heel is secure without slipping.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for daily school wear and active play. They are particularly compatible with:

  • School uniforms (where a sporty black shoe is permitted).
  • Playground activities and running.
  • Light sports and football-inspired games.
  • Everyday casual wear.

Care

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather and mesh upper regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner suitable for footwear.
  • Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Odour Control: The Microban® lining helps, but for prolonged freshness, ensure shoes are aired out after wear. Avoid storing them in damp, enclosed spaces.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and compromise the shoe's structure and protective features.
