More than just school shoes
Clarks are so much more than school shoes. With almost 200 years of children’s foot health expertise, we bring you perfectly fitting, science-backed pairs that empower kids to be their very best selves.
Why Buy Clarks School Shoes
We've done our homework
Our understanding of kids’ feet is unrivalled. We partner with podiatry experts at the University of Salford and have carried out one of the largest studies in children’s biomechanics, with over 1200 3D scans across 300 children. So, you can trust in us for boys’ school shoes and girls’ school shoes that help your kids move comfortably and freely – the way nature intended.
-
Cushioned
Kids take 10-16,000 steps a day on average – so we want every single one to be comfortable. Crafted with cushioned footbeds, our shoes reduce impact and add softness to each stride.
-
Flexible
We research how children’s lower limbs move to find the right level of flexibility for kids. Clarks school shoes support their natural gait cycle, helping children walk freely and confidently.
-
Tough
As well as charging around the playground, more than half of kids walk or cycle to school. With robust materials and durable constructions, Clarks shoes withstand this wear.
-
Light
Our studies show how important shoe weight is to how kids walk. All our shoes are lightweight to support lower limb mechanics and plantar pressure, so kids move the way they’re meant to.
-
Breathable
Kids’ feet sweat twice as much as adults’ feet. So, all our school shoes use leather uppers and mesh linings with an antimicrobial treatment – keeping them breathable and breezy all day long.
