FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Astrol Orin is designed to a standard fit; please check the specific product label or your child's measurement to ensure it fits their foot width comfortably.
Can I put these boots in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash leather boots, as the water and agitation will destroy the leather structure and weaken the adhesive in the sole.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather provides natural water resistance, they are not classified as fully waterproof and should be treated with a protective leather spray if used in heavy rain.
What is the best way to keep the leather looking new?
Regularly clean with a damp cloth, apply leather conditioner to prevent drying, and use black polish to touch up any color fading.
Does the zip stay up while walking?
Yes, the boots are designed with a secure zip mechanism, though it is always good practice to ensure the zipper is fully pulled to the top to engage the closure correctly.
Troubleshooting
The zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Clear any debris from the zipper track and apply a small amount of graphite or a specialized zipper lubricant to smooth the motion.
Scuff marks appearing on the leather
Use a matching black shoe polish or a high-quality leather cream to buff out surface scuffs and restore the uniform color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Clarks Astrol Orin boots, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust and dirt. Because they are made from real leather, it is recommended to apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can warp or dry out the leather over time. Ensure you check the child's foot size frequently, as children's feet can grow rapidly, and ill-fitting boots can impact gait and comfort.
