The Clarks Laser Cross K is engineered for the rigours of school life and active play. Its blend of a robust sole with flex grooves ensures that children can run, jump, and play football comfortably and securely, without compromising on grip or flexibility. The lightweight, impact-absorbing sole reduces foot fatigue during long school days and intense play sessions. The Microban lining is a significant benefit, actively combating odours, which is particularly useful for active children who spend many hours in their shoes. The toe bumper and rubber heel clip provide essential protection, making these shoes resilient against scuffs and impacts common in playgrounds. The rip-tape and elastic lace system makes them practical for independent dressing, ensuring a snug fit for various foot shapes.
Getting started with your Laser Cross K shoes is straightforward:
Undo the dual rip-tape fastenings and loosen the elastic lace completely.
Help your child slide their foot into the shoe.
Secure the rip-tape straps across the top of the foot. Adjust them to be snug but not too tight, ensuring a comfortable fit that allows for natural foot movement.
Check that the padded collar and tongue sit comfortably around the ankle.
These shoes are highly versatile and compatible with:
School Uniforms: Their smart black leather and mesh design meets most school dress codes.
Active Play: The robust sole, protective features, and flexible design make them ideal for playground activities, running, and informal sports like football.
Everyday Wear: Perfect for daily wear, providing comfort and support for growing feet.
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Clarks Laser Cross K shoes:
Cleaning the Upper: For the mixed leather and mesh upper, gently wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher marks on leather, use a specialist leather cleaner suitable for children's shoes. For mesh areas, a soft brush can help remove dried dirt.
Odour Control: The integrated Microban odour control lining actively works to keep shoes fresh. For best results, allow shoes to air out naturally after wear. Avoid excessive moisture inside the shoe.
Drying: If shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can damage the materials.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray (suitable for children's shoes) to add an extra layer of defence against water and stains, particularly for the leather portions.
