FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Clarks generally runs true to size based on standard UK sizing. We recommend purchasing your usual shoe size. If you are unsure, you can consult a Clarks sizing chart.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather upper is durable, these sneakers are not designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Applying a leather protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
How do I clean the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush can be used to remove dirt from the grooves. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
What is the benefit of a removable footbed?
A removable footbed offers several benefits: it allows you to easily clean or air out the inside of the shoe, replace worn-out insoles, or insert custom orthotics for personalized comfort and support.
Are these suitable for running or intense sports?
The Clarks Craft Swift Sneaker is designed for casual wear, daily activities, and light walking. It is not intended for high-impact sports like running or intense athletic activities, which require specialized athletic footwear for proper support and cushioning.
How do I prevent creasing in the leather?
Minor creasing is natural with leather shoes as they conform to your foot. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when storing them and ensure they are properly sized to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations at first. The premium leather will mold to your foot over time. Ensure laces are not too tight.
Footbed feels too firm or not supportive enough.
The removable footbed allows for customization. You can replace it with a softer insole for more cushioning or a specialized orthotic for targeted arch support if needed.
Leather has scuffs or dull spots.
Clean the area gently with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a colored shoe cream matching the leather to restore its luster. Buff lightly with a soft cloth.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the removable footbed and the shoe's sole. Try removing the footbed, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the footbed.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather sneakers:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the leather appears dry.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, particularly before initial wear or after cleaning.
- Drying: If the sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
