The Clarks Joyful Skip Toe Box excels in supporting a child's early walking journey. The bouncy foam footbed provides excellent cushioning, reducing impact as they explore and learn to balance. Coupled with the flex-grooved sole, these shoes allow for natural foot movement and development, mimicking barefoot flexibility while offering necessary protection. The Velcro (rip-tape) closure ensures the shoes stay firmly on active feet, providing stability and confidence for both parent and child. The low profile height and round-toe design offer ample space for tiny toes to spread, which is crucial for proper foot development. The combination of a leather footbed and textile lining helps keep feet comfortable throughout the day, whether indoors or during light outdoor activity. These shoes are ideal for everyday wear for children just starting to walk, providing a balance of comfort, support, and style.
Setup:
Open Fastening: Fully open the rip-tape (Velcro) strap at the T-bar.
Position Foot: Gently slide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Secure Fit: Fasten the rip-tape strap, adjusting it snugly but not too tightly. There should be enough room for a finger to slide in easily.
Compatibility:
Size: Available in UK children's size 5.
Width: Designed for an 'F' (Standard) width fit.
Usage: Best suited as first shoes for girls, ideal for toddlers learning to walk.
Care:
Cleaning Patent Leather: Wipe the white patent leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials.
General Maintenance: Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Regularly check the sole for embedded debris that could affect grip. Store in a cool, dry place.
