FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or other sports?
No, the Clarks Pace shoes are specifically engineered and designed for the performance activity of walking, providing optimal support, cushioning, and propulsion for that purpose. They are not intended for high-impact activities like running.
Do I need to 'break in' these walking shoes?
No, the innovative design, particularly the S-curve moulded heel counter, is crafted to provide instant comfort right out of the shoe box, meaning no break-in period is needed.
How do the 'Infinity Energy Capsules' work?
The Infinity Energy Capsules are embedded in the sole and are designed to compress underfoot pressure and then rebound. This action maximizes momentum with each step, effectively propelling you forward and enhancing walking efficiency.
What kind of surfaces can I comfortably walk on with these shoes?
Thanks to the unique C-tread rubber outsole, these shoes offer maximum traction and grip on all surfaces, making them versatile for various walking environments, including pavements, paths, and light trails.
How should I clean my Clarks Pace walking shoes?
For the woven fabric upper, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Wipe the outsole and midsole to remove debris. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
What is the benefit of the 'C360 foam' cushioning?
The C360 foam is a advanced two-part cushioning system within the dual-layer sole. It significantly reduces impact on your feet and joints while stabilizing every stride, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable walking experience.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear
Ensure you have the correct size. While designed for instant comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, check if the size is appropriate for your foot length and width.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during walks
The woven fabric upper promotes circulation, but wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks can further enhance breathability and help manage sweat. Allow shoes to air dry thoroughly after each use.
Reduced grip on wet or uneven surfaces
Inspect the C-tread rubber outsole for any signs of excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread patterns regularly to maintain optimal traction. If the outsole is significantly worn, the shoes may need replacement for safety.
Heel feels unstable or not secure
Ensure your laces are tied securely but not too tightly, allowing the S-curve moulded heel counter and TPU heel clip to properly cradle your heel. Check that your foot isn't sliding within the shoe, which could indicate an incorrect size.
