Clarks Tapa Pure - Black, Size: 6

Yes, the Clarks Tapa Pure Y shoes feature a classic black leather Derby brogue style, making them an excellent choice for most school uniform policies.

The Microban® lining contains an active antimicrobial ingredient (octadecyldimethyl trihydroxysilyl propyl ammonium chloride) that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the shoes fresher for longer.

Yes, these shoes feature true lace fastening, allowing for complete adjustability to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for different foot widths and instep heights.

They feature a lightweight, flexible rubber sole that is also hardwearing, providing comfort and durability for active children.

This indicates that half of the mesh material used in the lining is sourced from more sustainable or recycled materials, reducing environmental impact.

While the leather provides some natural resistance, these are not fully waterproof shoes. For heavy rain, we recommend using a protective leather spray and ensuring they are dried properly if they get wet.

As with most quality leather footwear, a short break-in period of a few days may be beneficial for the leather to soften and mold to the wearer's foot, enhancing comfort.

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Allow a few days for the leather to soften and conform to the foot (break-in period). Check that the child is wearing appropriate socks.

Clean the area gently with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of black leather shoe polish and buff with a soft cloth to restore the finish.

Remove insoles if possible and allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Consider using an odor-absorbing shoe insert if the issue continues.

The rubber sole is hardwearing, but extreme abrasive surfaces can cause faster wear. Ensure the child's walking style is not unusually dragging feet. Regular inspection can help identify excessive wear early.
