FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Clarks Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes feature a GORE-TEX membrane that makes them fully waterproof and breathable, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.

What does 'H width fitting' mean?

'H width fitting' indicates that these shoes have a wider fit than standard, providing more room across the foot for enhanced comfort, especially beneficial for those with broader feet.

Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?

While GORE-TEX is breathable, the leather material and robust construction make these shoes more suited for cooler, transitional, or wet weather. For very hot conditions, lighter, more ventilated footwear might be more comfortable.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. For regular wear, conditioning every 1-3 months is a good practice to maintain the leather's quality and appearance. If the leather starts to look dry, it's time for conditioning.

Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?

Like many quality leather shoes, a short break-in period might be beneficial to allow the leather to soften and the Contoured Comfort™ footbed to fully mold to your foot shape. This usually involves wearing them for shorter periods initially.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel damp inside, even with GORE-TEX.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., wool or synthetic blends that wick moisture) as cotton can absorb and hold sweat. Also, check that the GORE-TEX membrane has not been compromised by sharp objects or harsh chemicals. Clean the outer leather and consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if the outer material is soaking through.

The leather looks dry or has developed small cracks.

The leather needs conditioning. Apply a quality leather conditioner or cream, following the product instructions. This will moisturize the leather, restoring its suppleness and helping to prevent further drying and cracking.

The shoes feel less supportive over time.

While the Contoured Comfort™ footbed is durable, prolonged heavy use can compress it. If the removable insole, you may be able to replace them with new insoles to restore cushioning and support. Ensure your shoes are properly laced for maximum support.

Slipping on wet or uneven surfaces.

Inspect the rubber sole for wear. If the tread is significantly worn, the grip will be reduced. Ensure the soles are clean from mud or debris that could impair traction. On extremely icy or slick surfaces, even new soles may struggle to provide full grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Clarks Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace them, slide your feet in, and lace them up to your preferred snugness. Ensure an even tension across the laces for optimal comfort and support. For a wider fit, the 'H' width is already incorporated into the design.

Compatibility

These shoes are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of attire, from smart-casual office wear to outdoor trousers and jeans. They are ideal for individuals seeking durable, waterproof footwear for commuting, walking, or general daily wear in varying weather conditions.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for black leather.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is crucial for maintaining its appearance and longevity.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX provides inherent waterproofing, regular cleaning and occasional reapplication of a water-repellent spray designed for GORE-TEX and leather can help maintain the outer leather's water repellency.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and the GORE-TEX membrane.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Sole Care: Regularly check the rubber sole for embedded debris and clean it to ensure maximum grip.
