FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, they are specifically designed as durable school shoes for daily use.
Can the charm on the front be removed?
The charm is integrated into the design; it is not recommended to remove it as it may damage the leather upper.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth and use a standard black leather polish to keep them looking new.
What is the benefit of the riptape fastening?
It provides a secure, adjustable fit while making it easy for children to put on their own shoes.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are made of leather which offers some resistance, but they are not classified as waterproof footwear.
Do they provide good arch support?
The soft foam footbed offers general cushioning and comfort suitable for a school-aged child's growing feet.
Troubleshooting
Riptape losing stickiness
Use a small brush or tweezers to remove lint and debris from the hook-and-loop fabric.
Scuff marks on the leather
Apply a small amount of black shoe cream or polish and buff with a soft cloth.
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure the riptape is not fastened too tightly and check that the socks are not too thick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, Clarks recommends measuring your child's feet regularly, as growth can occur quickly. When putting the shoes on, ensure the riptape is fully opened to allow the foot to slide in comfortably without forcing the heel. To maintain the leather finish, wipe away loose dirt and dust with a damp cloth after school. For scuffs, use a matching black leather polish or cream to restore the shine. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can degrade the adhesive and leather quality. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
