The Clarks FeatherShine K shoes are built for the daily demands of active children, whether in the classroom or on the playground. The super-lightweight TPR sole allows for agile movement, making running and playing comfortable without weighing down little feet. The double riptape straps are a game-changer for independent dressing, letting children quickly secure their own shoes, a significant benefit for busy mornings. Parents will appreciate the Microban® odour control lining, which actively works to keep foot smells at bay, a common issue with kids' shoes that see daily use. The moulded rubber heel piece and rubberised heel counter are strategically placed to withstand scuffs and impacts, extending the shoe's life even with rough play. For example, during a school day, the breathability of the fabric upper helps prevent overheating, while the padded collar and tongue ensure comfort during prolonged wear, from walking to class to participating in physical education. Its machine-washable nature means that muddy adventures or everyday grime can be easily cleaned, restoring the shoes to a fresh state for the next wear.
There is no complex setup required for the FeatherShine K shoes. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. The double riptape straps allow for quick and easy adjustment to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Utilize the heel and tongue loops to assist in pulling the shoes on effortlessly.
These shoes are designed for kids in the Clarks FeatherShine series. They are suitable for daily school wear, casual activities, and light sports. Compatibility with specific uniform policies should be checked, though their black color and sporty design are generally versatile.
Machine Washable: For general cleaning, the FeatherShine K shoes can be machine washed. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. It is recommended to place shoes in a mesh laundry bag to protect them during washing.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally. Do NOT tumble dry or use direct heat, as this can damage materials.
Spot Cleaning: For small marks or scuffs, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to spot clean the fabric upper.
Odour Control: The integrated Microban® lining helps manage odours, but ensuring shoes air out after use can further enhance freshness.
Regular Inspection: Periodically check the riptape straps for wear and the sole for any debris or damage.
