FAQs

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and follow the product's instructions.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of natural crepe, which provides cushioning and a distinctive look.

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

No, the Desert Trek is designed as casual footwear and is not suitable for formal occasions.

How do I maintain the color of the brown suede?

To help maintain the color and protect the suede, apply a suede protector spray designed for the specific color. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

Can the crepe sole be replaced?

Yes, the crepe sole can typically be replaced by a professional cobbler if it becomes significantly worn.

What is the purpose of the central forefoot seam?

The central forefoot seam is a signature design element of the Desert Trek model, contributing to its unique and recognizable aesthetic.

What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?

For comfort and style, thin to medium-weight casual socks are recommended. Consider socks that complement the shoe's brown color.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Crepe sole feels sticky or has lost its grip.

Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If significant wear has occurred, resoling by a professional cobbler may be an option.

Laces are worn or frayed.

Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Clarks Originals may offer replacement fobs.

Shoe feels slightly stiff initially.

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the suede to break in and mold to your foot shape.
