FAQs
What type of leather is used for the Charmouth Lace?
The Charmouth Lace features a premium leather upper, offering both durability and a refined appearance.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary per individual. The leather laces allow for adjustability, but the shoe is designed with a standard fit. Trying them on or checking customer reviews for fit information is recommended.
How should I break in new leather shoes?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking around the house is a good way to start. Ensure the laces are not too tight during the break-in period.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the TR outsole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or to treat the shoes with a suitable waterproofing spray for leather.
What is the main difference between the Charmouth Lace and other boat shoes?
The Charmouth Lace reimagines the classic boat shoe with Clarks' signature design elements, including metal eyelet hardware, specific leather lace detailing, a slim TR outsole, and a bespoke woven Clarks label, offering a contemporary take on a heritage style.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or feel dry.
What does 'TR outsole' mean?
TR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a material known for its flexibility, durability, and lightweight properties, offering good grip and wear resistance.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure the shoes are not stored in excessively dry conditions.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the leather laces with new ones. Ensure knots are not tied excessively tight to prevent unnecessary stress.
Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, consider consulting a cobbler for potential sole treatments, though the TR outsole is designed for grip.
Discoloration or stains on leather
Attempt to clean with a specialized leather cleaner. For stubborn stains, professional leather cleaning may be required. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
