Floats and clearfix

Hey Guys, Im super new and have done the basics of HTML and CSS. Im trying to use what I've learnt to create a few websites before continuing on with my course in the hope that it retains more info. The problem is floats. I want to float two images side my side, centered on the page with the footer stuck to the bottom of the page. No matter what I do, I cant get the footer to stick and I cant get the two images to sit nicely on the page. Ive played with clearfixes, margins, padding- everything! Any help would be great!!! 

.cherry {
float: left;
  height: 400px;
  width: 400px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 50px;
  padding: 5px;
}

 .mocha {
float: right;
  height: 400px;
  width: 400px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 50px;
  padding: 5px;
}

img {
max-width: 100%;
border-radius: 10px;
}

  .main-footer {
padding-top: 60px;
padding-bottom: 60px;
border-bottom: 10px solid #000;
  text-align: center;
  position: fixed;
Width: 100%;
bottom: 0;  
}

.clearfix:after { 
   content: "."; 
   visibility: hidden; 
   display: block; 
   height: 0; 
   clear: both;
}

Can you give us a link or a picture to see what you mean? btw the word width on the main-footer must be all low caps

For your footer try:

.main-footer {
padding-top: 60px;
padding-bottom: 60px;
border-bottom: 10px solid #000;
  text-align: center;
  position: fixed;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0;
clear: both;

I changed the width to be all in lower case and also used clear:both. This will clear both your image floaters.

Hope this helps!
