If your child's shoes are above an infant size 10, you have until 28 February 2021 to exchange them if they become too small.

For parents with younger, faster-growing children with feet from size 7 to 9.5, you have until November to ask for a swap.

The only catch? The shoes must have been fitted by a Clarks employee in store, meaning online buys are unfortunately exempt.

Still, it's great excuse to brave the shops! We predict a mass stampede to Clarks before the summer is out.
