Clarks Relda shoes are engineered to excel in the demanding environment of a child's daily life, from the classroom to the playground. Their durable leather construction means they can withstand the scuffs and scrapes common during school hours and active play, making them a reliable choice for school uniforms or everyday wear. The flex-grooved rubber outsole offers excellent traction on various surfaces, providing confidence for running, jumping, and climbing, while simultaneously supporting the natural bending motion of the foot, which is crucial for developing feet.
The part-recycled PU foam footbed ensures cushioning throughout the day, reducing fatigue during prolonged periods of standing or activity. With the Microban antibacterial lining, parents can be assured of reduced odours, even after a full day of energetic play. The interior zip and Rip Tape fastening are particularly beneficial, allowing children to easily put on and take off their shoes independently, fostering self-sufficiency. These features combine to make the Relda an ideal shoe for 'busy little learners' who need footwear that keeps up with their energy and growth.
Getting started with your Clarks Relda shoes is straightforward:
Opening: Fully unfasten the Rip Tape strap and open the interior zip for maximum opening.
Putting On: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel sits comfortably at the back.
Fastening: Secure the Rip Tape strap first, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit across the instep. Then, close the interior zip. The combination ensures a secure fit for active wear.
Age Group: Specifically designed for kids.
Fittings: Available in E (Narrow), F (Standard), and G (Wide) fittings. It's crucial to measure your child's feet regularly to select the correct width and length for optimal comfort and foot health.
Activities: Ideal for school wear, everyday play, and general active use where durability, comfort, and flexibility are key.
To ensure your Clarks Relda shoes remain in excellent condition and offer long-lasting wear, follow these care instructions:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe leather uppers regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialist leather cleaner.
Protection: Apply a suitable leather protector spray periodically to guard against water and stains.
Polishing: For black leather, use a good quality black shoe polish to restore shine and nourish the leather.
Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack and damage the leather.
Odor Control: The Microban lining helps, but for extended freshness, occasionally air out the shoes overnight.
