FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
The premium leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather footwear to protect them.
How should I clean the mid-tan leather?
Wipe off surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a gentle leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.
What is the Contour Cushion footbed?
The Contour Cushion footbed is an integrated feature designed for superior underfoot comfort. It provides anatomical support and cushioning to reduce foot fatigue, making the shoes comfortable for extended periods of wear.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are authentic and can be replaced. Ensure you choose laces of similar length and material to maintain the shoe's original aesthetic and secure fit.
What does TR sole mean?
TR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a durable and flexible material used for soles that provides excellent traction and resistance to wear, making your shoes long-lasting.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on how often you wear the shoes and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general guideline, condition every 1-3 months to keep the leather moisturized and prevent cracking.
Is the sizing true to UK standards?
Clarks typically adheres to standard UK sizing. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering individual foot shapes. You can also refer to Clarks' official sizing guide if available.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner or balm. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning. Regular conditioning prevents drying.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure lacing technique. Check if the laces are worn; replace if frayed or damaged.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often, squeaking can come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole. If it's the sole itself, it may be a manufacturing issue; contact customer support.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Leather shoes, especially new ones, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Using shoe stretchers or wearing thick socks can help expedite the process. If discomfort persists, check your size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Thread the authentic laces through the eyelets, ensuring an even tension.
- Fit Adjustment: Tighten or loosen laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without restricting circulation. The heel loop aids in pulling the shoe on smoothly.
Compatibility
- Attire: Perfectly complements chinos, dress trousers, dark jeans, and smart casual suits. Suitable for business casual office environments, social gatherings, and dinner events.
- Seasonality: Best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. While leather offers some natural water resistance, it's not designed for heavy rain or snow without additional waterproofing treatment.
Care
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months (depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Polishing: Use a shoe polish matching the mid-tan color to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
- Protection: Consider a water and stain protector spray designed for leather to enhance longevity, especially in varied weather conditions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or dry the shoes. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or moisture.
