FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all school uniforms?

The Clarks Laser Cross K has a distinct sporty, football boot-inspired design. We recommend checking your school's specific uniform policy regarding shoe style and colour to ensure compatibility before purchase.

How do the elastic lace and riptape closure work?

The elastic lace provides inherent flexibility, allowing the shoe to stretch easily when putting it on. The single riptape strap then secures the shoe firmly on the foot, allowing for quick adjustments and easy independent wear for children.

What is Microban® odour control?

Microban® is an antimicrobial technology integrated into the shoe's lining. It actively works to inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause unpleasant odours, keeping the shoes feeling fresher for longer.

What materials are used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from a mixed black leather and mesh combination, offering a balance of durability, breathability, and a sporty aesthetic.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Clarks Laser Cross K features a mixed leather and mesh upper. While leather offers some natural water resistance, the mesh sections mean they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for general school wear and active play, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles may lead to wet feet. Consider a protective spray for enhanced resistance.

What age group are these shoes designed for?

These shoes are specifically designed for kids, offering features that cater to their active lifestyles and the demands of school and playground use.

How do the flex grooves in the sole benefit my child?

The flex grooves are strategically placed channels in the sole that allow the shoe to bend and move more naturally with your child's foot. This enhances flexibility, grip, and comfort, supporting their natural movement during running, jumping, and playing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes develop an unpleasant odour despite Microban®.

While Microban® helps, intense activity can still lead to some odour. Ensure shoes are thoroughly air-dried after each wear. Remove insoles if possible to air separately. A sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help absorb residual odours.

Child finds it difficult to put on or take off the shoes.

Ensure the riptape strap is fully loosened before attempting to put the shoe on or take it off. Check that the elastic laces are not twisted or tangled, allowing for maximum opening. Practice with your child to develop independence.

The sole seems to be losing grip or flexibility.

Inspect the flex grooves on the sole for any trapped dirt or small debris that might be impacting flexibility or grip. Clean these out with a small brush or toothpick. Regular cleaning of the sole helps maintain its performance.

Shoes appear scuffed or worn prematurely.

While the shoe has a toe bumper and heel clip for protection, extreme play can still cause wear. Regular cleaning and applying a suitable leather/textile protector can help. Ensure the shoe size is correct, as ill-fitting shoes can experience uneven wear.

  • Integrated Microban® odour control keeps shoes fresh and hygienic.
  • Easy for children to put on and take off independently with elastic lace and riptape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Clarks Laser Cross K shoes arrive ready to wear. Simply adjust the riptape strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit around your child's foot. Ensure the elastic lace is smooth and not twisted.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for kids in an unisex style, making them suitable for both boys and girls. They are specifically crafted as school shoes for active children, particularly those who enjoy sports and need durable footwear. While generally compatible with most school environments, always check your school's specific uniform policy regarding footwear aesthetics due to the shoe's distinct sporty design.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and freshness of your Clarks Laser Cross K shoes:

  1. Cleaning: For everyday dirt, wipe the mixed leather and mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks on the leather sections, use a specialized leather cleaner. For the mesh areas, a soft brush and mild soapy water can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Odour Control Maintenance: The Microban® lining works continuously. To maximize its effectiveness, allow shoes to air out after wear, especially if they have become damp from sweat or rain. If a persistent odour occurs, a sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed leather and textile materials to enhance water and stain resistance. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
