Clarks UK is giving parents the confidence to buy children’s school shoes in advance by vowing to swap them for a pair that fit if they grow out of them before February.
It’s part of the shoe shop’s Back to School: Buy Early With Confidence service.
In a statement outlining the offer via its website, Clarks said: “[if you] buy their school shoes now, we’ll guarantee they’ll fit until 28th February 2021. If they don’t, we’ll exchange for a new pair – It’s as simple as that, so beat the crowds, skip the queues by booking your in-store fit appointment for our guarantee.”
“Our expert fitters will ensure your kids start the new school term in comfort and style.”
The deal applies to all full price back to school kids shoes, including school shoes, boots, plimsolls and sports shoes, but there are a few terms and conditions that do come along with the guarantee.

The service only applies to infant sizes 10 and above, from the date of purchase to 28th February 2021, and for infant sizes 7 to 9.5, Clarks says these must be exchanged from the date of purchase to 30th November 2020.
All eligible school shoes must be purchased from a Clarks shop between 13th July – 14th September 2020 and the shoes must have been fitted by a trained Clarks fitter in store, so this means that shoes bought from Clarks UK online are not included in the deal. Shoppers will also need to show their receipt, bring the old shoes into store and have a Clarks fitter agree that they no longer fit your child.

You can only return shoes based on the size of the shoe and will only be able to swap them for a pair of shoes that are the same price as the old pair.

News of the new deal was also shared in a post to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook over the weekend, which went onto amass thousands of interactions and comments from plenty of parents eager to make the most of the service before February.

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo and they’re so cute

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo… and they’re really flipping cute.
Born to parents Maris and Albert in late summer, the three rock hyrax pups – only affectionately known as ‘chaos potatoes’ – have just passed their first vet check with a clean bill of health, and now weigh roughly 350g.
Hyraxes are found across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, where they live among rocky landscapes and are most active in daylight.
The litter includes two boys and one girl, and keepers at Chester Zoo have decided to give them potato-themed names – Russ, Spud, and Jackie.

Currently, the three pups are a fraction of the size of the adults, which can weigh up to 4kg, but despite their small stature, they have an unlikely relative.
Believe it or not, rock hyraxes are actually a part of the same evolutionary group as elephants, as well as sirenians, which are the family of aquatic mammals that includes dugongs and manatees.
“Hyraxes are one of those species that you have to look for, but once you’ve seen them, they are fascinating to watch,” explained Megan Carpenter, who is a Keeper at Chester Zoo.
“The pups are little chaos potatoes. They are much more energetic than their parents and sometimes get the zoomies, darting about and testing their climbing and parkour skills.
“In contrast, the adults often wedge themselves into corners and grip on to steep rock faces for hours at a time. They’re incredibly well adapted to living among rocks and are much better climbers than you might expect.”
