FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Porto Tap features a standard fit. If you are unsure, we recommend measuring the child's foot or visiting a Clarks stockist for a professional fitting.
Does the Microban lining wear out?
The Microban treatment is integrated into the lining material to provide long-lasting odor control for the life of the shoe.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While the leather is durable and water-resistant for light rain, it is not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector spray if needed.
What is the best way to break them in?
Wear them for short periods around the house with socks before having your child wear them for a full school day.
Troubleshooting
Buckle strap feels too tight
Adjust the buckle to a looser hole setting or ensure the strap is aligned correctly over the arch.
Leather looks dull
Apply a small amount of black leather polish and buff gently with a soft cloth to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify the UK sizing before first wear. To maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt or scuffs after daily use.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the material supple and maintain the black color depth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to allow the lining to vent.
