Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Open Strap: Undo the riptape strap completely.
- Position Foot: Gently guide your toddler's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Check Toes: Press down on the front of the shoe to feel for your toddler's longest toe. There should be approximately a thumb's width of space between the toe and the end of the shoe for growth.
- Secure Strap: Fasten the riptape strap snugly but not too tightly. It should hold the foot securely without causing pressure marks or restricting movement.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Designed specifically for toddlers who are learning to walk or are already confident walkers.
- Activities: Ideal for everyday wear, light outdoor activities in dry conditions, and casual social occasions.
- Fit: This model is a Wide Fit, suitable for toddlers with broader feet.
Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather shoes.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Info needed: [Consult Clarks for specific leather conditioner recommendations for patent leather.]
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the soles for wear and the riptape strap for debris that might affect its adhesion. Clean riptape with a stiff brush if needed.
