FAQs
What age group are these shoes for?
These 'Joyful Skip' shoes are specifically designed for toddlers, providing optimal support for their developing feet during crucial growth stages.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor play?
Yes, they are suitable for everyday outdoor play. The durable leather and flex-grooved sole offer good support, but it's best to avoid extremely wet or muddy conditions to protect the leather from damage.
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure your child's foot length and compare it to Clarks' official sizing guide. It is generally recommended to have about a thumb's width of space at the toe for comfort and healthy growth.
Can the T-bar strap be adjusted?
Yes, the T-bar strap features an adjustable fastening, allowing you to achieve a secure and comfortable fit tailored to your child's foot.
How do I clean the leather?
For light dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a specialist leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions to maintain the leather's quality.
Are these shoes good for first walkers?
Yes, the bouncy foam footbed and flex-grooved sole are specifically designed to provide excellent support and natural movement, making them ideal for encouraging confidence in early steps and wobbles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the T-bar strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort and growth.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to moisturize and restore the material's luster. Follow product instructions carefully and apply sparingly.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This can sometimes occur if there's moisture trapped between the insole and outsole. Remove the footbed if possible and allow both the shoe interior and footbed to air dry completely.
Footbed seems less bouncy over time.
The foam footbed is designed for long-lasting comfort. However, if significant compression occurs, ensure regular cleaning and allow shoes to air out to help maintain its properties. Consider a professional shoe cleaning if needed.

Care
To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of the rich buttery leathers:
- Daily Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, gently wipe the shoes with a soft, *damp cloth*.
- Deep Cleaning & Conditioning: Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to clean and moisturize the leather. Follow the specific instructions of your chosen leather care products. This helps prevent drying and cracking.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray for added resistance against water and stains, especially if they will be worn frequently outdoors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
