The Clarks Tapa Edge Loafers are specifically designed for the dynamic daily lives of older kids, making them an excellent choice for educational environments like school or college. Their low heel and slim, flexible sole facilitate natural, effortless movement, allowing wearers to navigate hallways, classrooms, and playgrounds with ease. The integrated Microban® odour control lining is a significant benefit for active individuals, helping to maintain freshness even after hours of wear. The durable black patent leather upper not only provides a smart and polished appearance, ideal for uniforms, but also offers resilience against daily wear and tear. Furthermore, the padded collar coupled with the innovative 'cats tongue' material in the inner heel ensures a secure, comfortable fit, minimizing rubbing and preventing the heel from slipping out during movement, thus supporting continuous activity and concentration throughout the day.
Setup: Getting started with your Tapa Edge Loafers is simple. Just slip them on. Ensure they fit snugly around the foot without pinching, with enough room for your toes to move freely. The 'cats tongue' material in the heel should provide gentle grip without causing discomfort.
Compatibility: These loafers are designed for older kids (age_group: kids), and are a unisex style, suitable for both boys and girls. The specific variant is a UK size 7.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning the Patent Leather: Wipe the patent leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks or to restore shine, use a dedicated patent leather cleaner applied with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Odour Control: The Microban® lining is designed for continuous odour control and does not require special cleaning for this feature. Regular airing out after wear is always beneficial.
