Amazon shoppers rush to claim amazing deals on Clarks back-to-school shoes
THE summer holidays are almost over and millions of kids across the country will return to school in just a few weeks.
For parents, this part of summer is a really expensive time, with demands on our pockets for new school uniforms, PE kit, stationery, lunch boxes, water bottles and — of course — school shoes.
Amazon has come to your rescue with a raft of deals across its Clarks school shoes for boys and girls, with all kinds of styles and designs included, so there’s bound to be something for everyone, from the tetchiest toddler to the most selective senior.
Read on for our round-up of shoes to get them running happily back to school in September. You can find the rull range of on-sale Clarks shoes at Amazon here.
Clarks Scala Gem Ballet Flats
These pretty ballet flats have a simple, classic look that’s just perfect for school. They’re leather so should last a good while and they have a rubber sole for security and grip in bad weather.
Inside the foam inlay absorbs impact and the cushioning adds to comfort, which is crucial when you’re wearing these all day every day.
There’s also cushioning around the heel to help prevent chafing and the easy hook and loop fastening means even little kids will manage to put on and take off their shoes without help from their teacher.
One delighted Amazon customer wrote: “Bought these shoes for my daughter, lovely looking, excellent fit and great quality.”
While another said: “I bought these shoes for my daughter and she loves them! She wears them every day at school and finds them very comfortable.”
These are available in a range of sizes from child 13 to adult 6.5, as well as in regular and wide fittings.
Clarks Orbit Sprint Sneakers
We think these boys’ trainers are smart enough to wear as school shoes, though check your child’s school policy first to make sure they agree.
They have a thick, ridged base for great grip in the rain, and the sole rises at the front and back, providing reinforcement at the toe and heel.
They’re practical and comfortable, with cushioning at the heel and ankle, which is ideal when you’re wearing them for so many hours.
The combination of lace fastenings with adjustable fold-over hook and loop straps means the shoes will fit securely, too.
Made from leather, they should last a while, which is another bonus as you don’t want to be buying new school shoes every few weeks.
They're available in sizes adult 3 to 5.5, in narrow and wide fittings, as well as in a range of child sizes.
Clarks Scala Bloom Ballet Flats
Flat shoes are a must for school as there’s so much standing around and walking between classes, as well as breaktimes in the school yard.
With that in mind, we think she’ll love these ballet flats from Clarks. Yes they have a low heel, but they are high on the style front, with a patent leather toe and heel, and a cute little bow accessory.
Don’t be fooled by the demure look though; these shoes are also practical, with a ridge sole for great grip and cushioning inside giving support and enhancing comfort.
The leather uppers are durable, just what you want in school shoes, and they’re easy to slip on and off, so no faffing around with buckles or laces.
One happy customer wrote: “Fitted just right for my granddaughter and she loves them.”
Clarks Blake Street Low Top Sneakers
Smart school shoes for boys that look casual enough to wear at weekends and during the holidays, the Blake Street sneakers get the thumbs up from us.
The soft leather looks comfortable enough to wear all day and the cushion soft foam inlay not only adds to the comfort, but also absorbs impact with each step.
Meanwhile, ridged soles ensure great grip and the continuation around the edge of the toe and heal helps prevent scuffs to the leather.
Velcro fastenings also ensure the shoes are easy to put on and take off.
One happy Amazon customer commented: “Bought these on offer and I’m very happy with them, son has managed to keep them in good condition compared to his other shoes I’ve bought.”
Clarks Etch Craft Shoes
Brogue detailing on these classic shoes adds to a great design that just doesn’t age.
The style is easy to put on and take off, with a Velcro fastening for a secure and adjustable fit. The top is leather so should last for ages and the rubber sole features a ridged finish, for superior grip.
Cushioning inside ensures all-day comfort and the foam inlay absorbs impact while you walk, adding to the comfort factor.
Available in a range of sizes in regular, wide and extra-wide fittings.
Happy Amazon shoppers have commented: “Comfortable, simple school shoes, polish up well and hold their shape and seem hard wearing so far.”
