FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these are made of leather and are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray for minor protection against light splashes.
Can I remove the footbed?
Yes, the OrthoLite footbeds are designed to be removable for cleaning or to allow for custom orthotics.
What is the best way to clean the EVA sole?
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to scrub the sides of the sole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design offers significant adjustability to accommodate various foot widths, though standard Clarks sizing is generally true-to-fit.
Do I need to break these in?
While the shoes are designed for comfort, natural leather requires a brief period to soften and mold to the unique contours of your feet.
Are they machine washable?
No, the leather material and the construction of the shoe are not designed for machine washing.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a clear or color-matched leather cream or wax and buff with a soft cloth.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Remove the insole, shake out debris, and allow it to air out; if completely worn, the OrthoLite footbed can often be replaced with generic cushioned inserts.
Shoes are stiff during initial wear
Wear them for short periods around the house for 1-2 hours to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clarks Bowburn Cap shoes last, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Treat the leather with a high-quality leather protector spray before the first use to repel dirt and light moisture.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not soak the leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the EVA sole and leather upper.
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly to distribute pressure across the arch of your foot.
