The Clarks Disco Skip K shoes are designed to excel in the demanding environment of a child's daily routine, from the classroom to the playground. Their durable patent leather upper is built to withstand the rigors of school life, maintaining a smart appearance while resisting daily scuffs. The Riptape fastening is a standout feature for both parents and children, allowing for quick adjustments and fostering independence as kids can easily put on and take off their shoes themselves. On the playground, the lightweight and flexible TR outsole with its flex grooves and pivot points comes into its own. This design encourages natural foot movement and provides the necessary grip and stability for running, jumping, and playing, helping children maintain balance and agility. The padded collar and tongue ensure comfort during extended wear, preventing rubbing and irritation during active periods. Furthermore, the Microban odour control lining is a practical benefit for active children, actively working to keep feet fresh throughout the day and reducing common shoe odours. The inclusion of 50% planet-friendly mesh lining and 5-8% regrind content in the outsole demonstrates a commitment to sustainability without sacrificing performance or comfort. These shoes are ideal for everyday school wear, providing a balance of smart style, comfort, durability, and practical features for active kids.
Setup: Getting started with your Disco Skip K shoes is simple. 1. Unfasten the Riptape strap completely. 2. Slide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is comfortably seated at the back. 3. Adjust the Riptape strap across the top of the foot to achieve a snug, secure, but not overly tight fit. Ensure there is enough room for toes to wiggle comfortably. 4. Check for a proper fit by having your child walk a few steps. Compatibility: These shoes are designed for kids and are suitable for school uniform requirements due to their classic black patent finish. They are available in various children's UK sizes. The versatile design makes them compatible with a wide range of daily activities, though they are not intended for specialized athletic sports. Care: Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Disco Skip K shoes. * Cleaning the Patent Leather: Wipe the patent leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For scuffs or dullness, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly applied with a soft cloth can restore shine. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. * Maintaining Riptape: Periodically check the Riptape fasteners for lint or debris, which can reduce their grip. Use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) or tweezers to gently clean out any accumulated material. * Lining Care: The Microban lining helps control odour, but for optimal freshness, allow the shoes to air out naturally after wear. If necessary, wipe the inside with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely before wearing again. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. * Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight).
