The Clarks Laser Cross K is a sporty school shoe designed for active, football-loving children, offering robust construction, excellent flexibility, and integrated odour control for all-day freshness. While providing great support and durability for playground adventures, its athletic aesthetic is important to consider against specific school uniform requirements.
Robust Sole with Flex Grooves: The lightweight, impact-absorbing rubber and EVA sole is built for durability and features flex grooves to enhance the foot's natural motion, providing excellent grip and flexibility during active play.
Microban® Odour Control Lining: An integrated lining actively inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria, keeping the shoes feeling fresh throughout the school day and beyond.
Easy On/Off with Riptape and Elastic Lace: Designed for independence, the combination of an elastic lace and a single riptape strap allows children to easily put on and take off their shoes, while also securing a snug fit.
Enhanced Protection: Features a durable toe bumper for frontal impact protection and a rubber heel clip for additional safeguard against scrapes and bumps, ideal for active children.
Padded Comfort: A generously padded collar and tongue provide superior comfort and support around the ankle, crucial for long days at school and energetic activities.
Sporty Aesthetic & Details: Inspired by football boots, the mixed black leather and mesh upper includes stitch details that give the shoe a dynamic, athletic look, appealing to sports-minded kids.

The Clarks Laser Cross K is engineered to meet the demands of a busy school day for active kids. Its robust sole and enhanced protection from the toe bumper and rubber heel clip mean it can withstand the rigors of playground games, running, and climbing without showing premature wear. The flex grooves in the sole ensure that despite its robust nature, the shoe remains flexible, supporting natural foot movement and preventing stiffness during activities like football or tag.
Parents will appreciate the Microban® odour control lining, which is a significant benefit for children who wear their shoes all day. This technology helps maintain hygiene and reduces common shoe odours, even after intense physical activity. The elastic lace and riptape closure empowers children to manage their footwear independently, fostering self-reliance, especially during quick changes for PE or after-school clubs. The padded collar and tongue provide essential comfort, preventing rubbing or discomfort during extended wear, ensuring kids can focus on learning and playing without distraction. Its sporty, football-boot inspired aesthetic makes it a popular choice for children who love sports, adding an element of fun to their school attire.
Your Clarks Laser Cross K shoes arrive ready to wear. Simply adjust the riptape strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit around your child's foot. Ensure the elastic lace is smooth and not twisted.
These shoes are designed for kids in an unisex style, making them suitable for both boys and girls. They are specifically crafted as school shoes for active children, particularly those who enjoy sports and need durable footwear. While generally compatible with most school environments, always check your school's specific uniform policy regarding footwear aesthetics due to the shoe's distinct sporty design.
To ensure the longevity and freshness of your Clarks Laser Cross K shoes:
Cleaning: For everyday dirt, wipe the mixed leather and mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks on the leather sections, use a specialized leather cleaner. For the mesh areas, a soft brush and mild soapy water can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
Odour Control Maintenance: The Microban® lining works continuously. To maximize its effectiveness, allow shoes to air out after wear, especially if they have become damp from sweat or rain. If a persistent odour occurs, a sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help.
Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed leather and textile materials to enhance water and stain resistance. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
