The Clarks Scala Gem K Mary Jane School Shoes are built to withstand the rigors of a school day, from classroom activities to playground adventures. The durable leather upper protects against scuffs and scratches, making them suitable for active kids. The Velcro fastening is a key benefit, allowing children to quickly and easily secure their shoes, fostering independence. This feature is particularly useful during PE lessons or quick changes. The Mary Jane style ensures the foot is held securely in place, preventing slips during running or jumping. The textile sock material offers comfort for long hours of wear, reducing friction and potential discomfort. These shoes are designed for daily, active school life, offering a blend of traditional style and practical functionality.
Ensure your child's foot is properly measured to confirm they are a UK 1 Child size with an F width fitting.
Open the Velcro strap fully.
Slide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Fasten the Velcro strap securely across the instep. It should be snug but not tight, allowing for natural foot movement without slipping.
Check for adequate toe room (approximately a thumb's width between the longest toe and the end of the shoe).
These shoes are designed as school uniform footwear. Their black leather finish and classic Mary Jane style make them highly compatible with most school dress codes. The F width fitting is standard for many children, but always confirm against your child's specific foot measurements.
Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialist leather cleaner designed for children's shoes.
Polishing: Apply black shoe polish periodically to maintain the leather's appearance and help protect it from water damage. Buff to a shine with a soft cloth.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Velcro Care: Keep the Velcro free from lint, threads, and debris to ensure it maintains its strong grip. Use a small brush or comb to clean the hooks if necessary.
