The Tapa Edge Loafers are engineered for the daily routine of older kids attending school or college. Their durable black patent leather upper withstands the rigors of hallways and classrooms, maintaining a smart appearance. The slim, flexible rubber sole allows for natural foot movement, making them comfortable for walking between classes, standing during presentations, or simply navigating busy environments. The low heel offers stability without compromising on style.
One of the standout features is the Microban® odour control lining combined with the 50% planet-friendly mesh lining. This actively combats common issues like foot odour and stuffiness, ensuring that feet remain fresh and comfortable even after hours of wear. The padded collar and internal heel material work in tandem to provide a secure, comfortable fit, reducing the likelihood of rubbing or the shoe slipping off during active periods. The textured welt adds a touch of classic sophistication, allowing the shoe to seamlessly complement various school uniform requirements or smart casual outfits.
These loafers are designed for effortless wear. Simply slip them on. No lacing or buckles are required, making them convenient for busy mornings.
Age Group: Designed specifically for older kids.
Environment: Ideal for school, college, and smart casual settings.
Sizing: Available in UK children's sizes (e.g., 3 UK). Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable and secure fit.
Cleaning the Patent Leather: Wipe the patent leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning or to restore shine, use a patent leather cleaner designed specifically for this material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the finish.
Odour Control: The Microban® lining provides built-in odour control. For optimal freshness, allow the shoes to air out after wear, and if necessary, use a shoe deodorizer spray.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store loafers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
