FAQs

What age are these shoes suitable for?

These shoes are specifically designed for toddlers who are just beginning their walking journey, offering support for their first stable steps.

How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my child?

Clarks Roamer Craft shoes use UK sizing. We recommend consulting a Clarks sizing guide and accurately measuring your child's foot length. Also, remember these are a 'G' fit, which means they are a wide-width shoe.

What does 'barefoot freedom' mean in the context of these shoes?

Barefoot freedom refers to the design philosophy where minimal flexible soles allow your child's foot to feel the ground. This helps with natural balance development and proprioception, mimicking the benefits of walking barefoot while providing protection.

How do I clean and care for the leather on these shoes?

For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, and periodically condition the leather to keep it soft and prevent cracking.

Are these shoes suitable for children with narrow feet?

The Roamer Craft T model is designed with a 'G' fit, which is a wide width. While the riptape straps allow for some adjustment, they may not provide the optimal snugness for very narrow feet.

What is chrome-free leather?

Chrome-free leather refers to leather tanned without using chromium salts, making it a more environmentally friendly option. It is also often preferred for its gentleness on delicate skin, making it ideal for children's footwear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose on my child's foot.

These shoes are a 'G' (wide) fit in UK sizes. Ensure you have the correct size for your child's foot length and width. Re-adjust the riptape straps to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Children's feet grow quickly, so regular measurement is recommended.

My child seems uncomfortable or resists wearing the shoes.

First, check the fit again. Ensure there are no tight spots and the straps aren't too restrictive. The shoes are designed for natural movement and comfort. If discomfort persists, observe if they are new to wearing shoes, as it can take time to adjust. Ensure socks are smooth and not bunched up.

The leather upper looks dull or dirty.

Clean the leather using a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a leather-specific cleaner. After cleaning, you can apply a leather conditioner to restore its lustre and keep it supple. Avoid using harsh household cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Putting on the Roamer Craft shoes is straightforward:

Open Riptape Straps: Fully open both riptape straps on the shoe.
Position Foot: Gently slide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their toes are comfortably at the front without curling.
Adjust Straps: Press down firmly on the riptape straps, starting with the one closer to the toes, then the ankle strap, to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure there's enough room for natural foot movement without the foot slipping out.

Compatibility

Sizing: These shoes are available in UK kids' sizes. Please refer to a Clarks sizing guide for accurate measurement and conversion if needed.
Fit: The Roamer Craft T model is specifically designed in a G fit, which denotes a wide width in Clarks children's footwear. This fit is suitable for children with wider feet, ensuring ample space for comfort and natural growth.
Age Group: These shoes are specifically tailored for toddlers beginning their walking journey.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks Roamer Craft leather shoes:

Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent the leather from cracking or hardening.
Conditioning: Periodically, apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out. Follow the conditioner product's instructions.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
Sock Lining: The chrome-free leather sock lining is naturally breathable. For hygiene, it's recommended to wear socks with the shoes.
Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
