The Clarks Keelan Flare Y shoes excel in providing all-day comfort and durability for school environments. Their robust leather construction is built to withstand the rigours of daily wear, from classrooms to playgrounds. The super-soft foam footbeds ensure that children's feet remain comfortable during long periods of standing or walking, which is crucial for concentration and overall well-being. The flexible, grippy rubber soles promote natural foot movement, essential for healthy foot development, while also offering reliable traction to prevent slips. The non-marking feature of the sole is particularly beneficial for school settings, protecting indoor flooring. Laces allow for a customizable, snug fit, preventing the shoes from slipping and ensuring stability during various activities. The integrated Microban lining is a practical benefit, tackling common issues of foot odour, keeping shoes fresher for longer, and contributing to overall foot health. These features combine to make the Keelan Flare Y a reliable choice for school shoes that prioritize comfort, durability, and practicality for active older kids.
Setup: The Clarks Keelan Flare Y shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and tie them securely, but not too tightly, to achieve a comfortable fit. A double knot can help prevent laces from coming undone during activity.
Compatibility: These shoes are primarily designed for kids and are ideal for school wear, suitable for daily activities in the classroom and playground. Their classic black leather design makes them compatible with most school uniform policies. They are built for general daily use and walking, rather than specialized sports activities.
Care:
Cleaning: For the leather upper, wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Polishing: To maintain the leather's appearance and protection, regularly apply a black shoe polish. Buff gently with a soft brush or cloth for a shine.
Odour Control: The built-in Microban lining helps prevent odours. For continued freshness, allow the shoes to air out after wear. If additional freshening is needed, use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight.
Sole Care: Clean the rubber soles with a brush and water to maintain grip. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
