The Clarks Tapa Pure Y Derby shoes are engineered for the daily demands of school life. Their durable black leather upper and hardwearing rubber sole are designed to withstand regular wear, making them a reliable choice for classrooms, playgrounds, and daily commutes. The lightweight and flexible sole combined with a padded collar ensures comfort during long periods of standing, walking, and light activity.
A standout feature is the Microban® odour control lining, which actively works to keep the shoes fresher by inhibiting odour-causing bacteria. This is particularly beneficial for active children who wear their shoes for extended hours. The true lace fastening allows for a customizable and secure fit, accommodating growing feet and ensuring stability during movement.
These shoes offer a smart, professional appearance while prioritizing comfort and foot health. They are ideal for students requiring a robust, stylish, and comfortable shoe that can keep up with their busy schedules.
The Clarks Tapa Pure Y shoes come ready to wear. Simply thread the laces through the eyelets and tie them securely. Ensure the laces are firm enough to hold the foot in place without being too tight, allowing for natural movement. Adjust lacing as needed for optimal comfort and fit.
These shoes are designed for kids, primarily female gender, and are suitable for school wear with most uniform policies due to their classic Derby brogue style and black leather finish. They are available in various UK children's foot sizes (e.g., Size 5 UK). To ensure compatibility, check school uniform guidelines and measure your child's foot accurately before purchase.
Leather Upper:
Regularly wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
For scuffs and to maintain shine, use a quality black leather polish or cream. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth, let dry, then buff to a shine.
Consider a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance and guard against stains.
Allow shoes to air dry naturally if wet; avoid direct heat sources.
Internal Lining (Microban®): The Microban® lining is designed for odour control and requires no special cleaning. Ensure shoes are aired out regularly after wear to help maintain freshness.
Sole: Inspect the rubber sole periodically for wear and tear. Clean with a damp cloth as needed.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
