The Clarks Playsunreef Flat Sandals are expertly designed for active kids, offering a perfect blend of comfort, durability, and ease of use for their everyday adventures. With features like elastic lacing and a riptape strap, they empower children to put on and take off their own shoes, fostering independence, although ensuring the correct fit is always essential for growing feet.
Independent On/Off Design: Elastic lacing combined with a convenient riptape strap allows children to easily put on and take off their sandals themselves, promoting self-sufficiency.
Lightweight Impact Absorption: A partially recycled, lightweight EVA midsole is integrated to absorb the impact of every step, providing cushioned comfort throughout the day.

The Clarks Playsunreef Flat Sandals are built for the dynamic life of a child. Their design ensures that whether your child is running around the playground, spending a day at school, or enjoying a family outing, their feet remain comfortable and supported. The lightweight EVA midsole acts as a shock absorber, reducing fatigue during extended periods of activity. This means less complaining about tired feet and more energy for play.
The elastic lacing and riptape strap are game-changers for busy mornings and independent toddlers. Kids can quickly slip their feet in, adjust the strap for a secure fit, and be ready to go. This functionality makes them an excellent choice for school settings where quick changes might be needed or for encouraging children to dress themselves.
Durability is paramount for children's footwear, and the rubber sole wrapping at abrasion points is a testament to this. It protects the soft leather upper from scuffs and scrapes that are common during active play, ensuring the sandals look good and last longer. From navigating uneven park paths to scooting on pavements, these sandals are designed to withstand the rigors of childhood. The leather material provides breathability, which is vital during warmer months, helping to keep little feet cool and dry.
Getting your child ready in their Clarks Playsunreef Sandals is straightforward:
Loosen the Riptape Strap: Fully open the riptape strap across the top of the foot.
Slide Foot In: Guide your child's foot into the sandal, ensuring their heel is properly seated against the back.
Adjust Riptape: Secure the riptape strap, adjusting it for a snug yet comfortable fit. It should be firm enough to hold the foot without being too tight.
Check Fit: Ensure there's a small space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the sandal to allow for growth and movement. The elastic lacing will naturally conform to the top of the foot.
These sandals are specifically designed for kids, particularly girls (gender: female) within the specified UK children's foot sizes (e.g., UK 12). Their versatile design and durable construction make them suitable for a wide range of daily activities, from casual wear to active outdoor play.
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather sandals:
Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for children's footwear. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can crack or damage the leather.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a small amount of leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid crushing or distorting the shape.
Avoid Excessive Water: While robust, these are not ideal for prolonged submersion or heavy water play due to the leather material.
