Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace fastenings. Loosen or tighten the laces evenly across the foot to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tied securely.

Unpleasant odour developing.

Although equipped with Microban®, air out the shoes overnight. Ensure the wearer wears clean socks daily. If the odour persists, consider using an antibacterial shoe spray.

Scuffs or marks on the upper material.

For patent leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a small amount of patent leather cleaner can be used. For supple leather, clean with a damp cloth and apply a suitable black shoe polish to cover marks and restore shine.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the sole and the insole. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry if they recently got wet.

Laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are tying the laces with a double knot. If the laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new ones of good quality that provide better grip.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for both boys and girls?

The Clarks Tapa Pure Y features a classic Derby brogue design, which is a versatile style. While often marketed for girls, the primary product attributes specify 'Unisex' gender, making them suitable for any student who appreciates the style and features.

How does the Microban® lining work?

Microban® is an antimicrobial technology integrated into the shoe's lining. It actively inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria, helping to keep your shoes fresher for longer and promoting better foot hygiene.

What is the best way to clean the different upper materials?

For glossy patent uppers, simply wipe with a damp cloth. For supple leather uppers, wipe with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality leather cleaner and polish regularly to maintain its condition and shine.

Are these shoes durable enough for daily school wear?

Yes, the Clarks Tapa Pure Y shoes are designed with durability in mind, featuring robust leather/patent uppers and a sturdy rubber sole, making them suitable for the rigours of daily school life.

Can I replace the laces if they get damaged?

Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if they become worn or damaged. You can purchase replacement laces from most shoe retailers or online.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Clarks Tapa Pure Y shoes come ready to wear. Simply adjust the lace fastenings to achieve a comfortable and secure fit for your foot. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but not too tightly to allow for natural foot movement throughout the day.

Compatibility

These shoes are primarily designed for school wear and are compatible with most school uniform policies due to their classic black brogue style. They are suitable for children and young adults requiring a durable and smart shoe for daily educational environments.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Tapa Pure Y shoes:

  1. Cleaning Uppers:
  • For patent leather: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. For extra shine, use a patent leather cleaner specifically designed for glossy finishes.
  • For supple leather: Gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and to maintain leather's suppleness, use a quality leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply a black shoe polish regularly to cover scuffs and restore shine.
  1. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  2. Odour Control: While Microban® helps, occasional airing out of the shoes is still recommended. Ensure socks are changed daily to maintain foot hygiene.
  3. Sole Care: Regularly check the rubber sole for embedded stones or debris and remove them to prevent damage to the sole and floors.
  4. Lace Care: Inspect laces periodically for wear and tear. Replace them if they become frayed or damaged to maintain a secure fit.
