Clarks Rockie Walk Shoes - Black - 7

Yes, the Clarks Rockie Walk Shoes feature a breathable waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, providing reliable protection against wet conditions.

The Contoured Comfort footbed is a specially moulded, part-planet friendly footbed designed to provide exceptional support, cushioning, and shock absorption, ensuring all-day comfort.

While they are breathable, they are described as 'winter-ready commuter shoes' and are primarily designed for cooler, wetter weather. They might feel warm during hot summer days.

The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe. For cleaning, focus on the outer leather as described in the care section. The membrane itself requires no special cleaning, but keeping the exterior clean and conditioned helps its performance.

These shoes are designed for 'city pavements to country tracks' and daily commuting. While durable, they are not intended for rigorous or heavy-duty hiking on challenging terrain.

Info needed: Please consult a professional cobbler or Clarks customer service regarding resoling options for this specific model.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking wool or synthetic blends, not cotton). Cotton can retain moisture against your skin. Also, allow shoes to fully air out and dry between uses.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or polish designed for black leather. For scuffs, a matching leather repair cream can be used.

Inspect the sole for embedded debris like small stones or mud, and clean it thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing again. Excessive wear on the tread may indicate it's time to consider resoling or replacing the shoes.
