FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Porto Tap features a standard fit, but the adjustable buckle strap allows for some customization for different foot shapes.
Can the insoles be removed?
The Porto Tap is designed with a fixed lining to prioritize comfort and maintain the integrity of the odor-control properties.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest, allowing for about a thumb's width of space at the front.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Clean by hand using a damp cloth only.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable leather.
Are these appropriate for formal events?
Yes, the sleek ballet silhouette and polished finish make them a great choice for formal school events and daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten
Check the holes on the strap for any debris and ensure the buckle tongue is properly aligned.
Leather surface appearing dull or scuffed
Clean the area with a damp cloth and apply a matching black leather shoe polish or wax.
Unpleasant odor despite Microban lining
Ensure shoes are fully aired out overnight and consider using a refreshing spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your Clarks Porto Tap shoes is essential for longevity. To maintain the leather, clean any surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth and apply a quality black leather cream or polish periodically. This will keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried at room temperature if they become damp—never place them directly on radiators, as excessive heat can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding. For compatibility, these shoes are true to size but should be worn with school-appropriate socks to ensure the best fit and comfort.
