Its robust construction and odour control keep feet feeling good, though the traditional lace-up design requires proper tying for a secure fit. These shoes combine practical features like a hardwearing outsole and breathable perforations with enhanced comfort elements such as a padded collar and tongue, ensuring lasting support and hygiene.

The Clarks Canyon Way shoe is engineered for the demanding environment of a child's daily routine, particularly school and active play.
All-Day School Comfort: For a child spending hours in school, moving between classrooms, playing during breaks, and attending extracurricular activities, the padded collar and tongue provide essential cushioning. This prevents rubbing and discomfort, allowing them to focus on learning rather than their feet. The Microban® odour control lining is crucial here, ensuring feet remain fresh even after a long day of wear, a significant benefit for both children and parents.
Active Play Durability: During playground sessions or sports activities, the durable PU leather upper resists scuffs and scrapes that are common with active children. The hardwearing TPR outsole offers excellent traction on various surfaces, from asphalt to grass, reducing slips. Furthermore, the flex grooves in the sole are vital for natural foot movement, allowing for unrestricted running, jumping, and climbing without feeling stiff or restrictive.
Breathability for Energetic Kids: Children are naturally active and can generate a lot of heat in their shoes. The perforations on the upper are not just for style; they provide necessary ventilation. This helps to regulate foot temperature, preventing excessive sweating and contributing to overall comfort and freshness, especially during warmer months or intense activity.
Secure Fit for Confidence: The lace-up closure ensures a snug, customizable fit. This is particularly important for children as a well-fitting shoe prevents blisters and provides stability, reducing the risk of trips or falls during fast-paced activities. Parents can adjust the tightness to accommodate different sock thicknesses or foot widths, ensuring optimal support throughout the day.
Lacing: Upon first wear, properly lace the shoes. Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Tie them securely but not too tightly, allowing for comfortable movement of the foot. Double-knotting can help prevent untying during active play.
Initial Fit Check: Have your child wear the shoes with their usual socks. Check that there is about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the sides shouldn't pinch.
Age Group: Designed specifically for children (kids).
Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.
Usage: Ideal for school wear, daily activities, and general active use.
Sizing: Available in various children's UK sizes, including this specific UK Child Size 7. Refer to a Clarks sizing guide for accurate measurements if unsure.
Cleaning the Upper: The durable PU leather upper can be easily cleaned. Wipe off dirt and scuffs with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the material.
Maintaining Freshness: The Microban® odour control lining helps keep shoes fresh. To further support this, allow shoes to air out naturally after wear. If shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and air dry away from direct heat.
Outsole Care: Periodically check the TPR outsole for embedded debris (small stones, mud) and clean as needed to maintain grip.
Lace Replacement: If laces become frayed or damaged, they can be easily replaced with standard shoe laces of a similar length and style.
