FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather upper provides good protection against light rain, but they are not fully waterproof and should be avoided in heavy puddles.
How do I measure for the correct size?
It is recommended to have your child's feet professionally measured at a shoe retailer, as fit is crucial for growing feet.
Can I use these for school?
Yes, their clean, black, and smart appearance makes them highly suitable for most school uniform policies.
Do the zips wear out quickly?
Clarks uses high-quality fastening components, but keeping the zip clear of dirt will significantly extend its lifespan.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Astrol Orin line generally follows a standard fit profile. For specific width concerns, please check the 'Standard Fit' label or consult a size guide.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes stuck or difficult to slide
Check for debris caught in the zip track. Run a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a lubricant if the mechanism feels stiff.
Leather surface shows scuffs
Apply a matching black shoe cream or polish to hide surface marks and nourish the leather, then buff with a soft brush or cloth.
Boots feel slippery on wet surfaces
While the sole is durable, check for excessive wear on the tread pattern. If the sole appears smooth, it may be time to replace the shoes for safety reasons.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Clarks Astrol Orin boots, wipe the leather exterior regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid machine washing the boots, as this can damage the structural integrity of the leather and the adhesives. When sizing, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front to accommodate natural foot growth. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack over time. If the interior becomes damp from heavy use, stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
