FAQs

What type of socks are best with these moccasins?

Thin dress socks or no-show socks are generally recommended to maintain the smart appearance of the moccasins. Avoid thick or athletic socks.

Can these moccasins be worn in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these are primarily formal shoes and not designed for heavy rain. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in prolonged wet conditions to maintain their condition and longevity.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing guide provided by Clarks. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for a potentially more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. The product is listed as UK 8.5.

What is the main advantage of the hook and loop strap?

The hook and loop strap offers convenience and adjustability, allowing for a quick and secure fit without the need for traditional laces, while maintaining a clean, modern look.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify width options. If you have wider feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or check for specific width information from the retailer.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more often if the shoes are frequently worn or exposed to drying conditions, to keep the material healthy.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight upon first wear.

Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods. Using a shoe stretcher or professional shoe stretching service can also help. Ensure the correct size was purchased initially.

Hook and loop strap losing adhesion.

Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free from debris. You can gently brush them with a stiff brush. If the material is worn, the strap may need professional repair or replacement.

Leather surface shows scuffs or scratches.

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a leather repair kit or a cream polish that matches the shoe colour to conceal the mark.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
