FAQs
How do I clean the navy nubuck upper?
Use a specialized nubuck brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a nubuck-specific cleaner following its directions, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Are these trainers suitable for all weather conditions?
The nubuck upper is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions. Applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for nubuck can offer some protection against light moisture.
What does 'Heritage Strobel construction' mean?
Strobel construction is a method where the upper material is stitched directly to a fabric 'sock' that forms the insole, then the outsole is attached. This creates a very flexible and lightweight shoe, enhancing comfort and natural foot movement.
What is an EVA outsole?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and highly durable material commonly used in shoe outsoles for its excellent shock absorption and cushioning properties, contributing to a comfortable stride.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The Hollyhock Walk Trainers feature a comfortable 35mm heel height, providing a subtle lift.
Can I use my own orthotics with these trainers?
Info needed: [Is the footbed removable?]. If the moulded Contour Cushion footbed is removable, you may be able to insert your own orthotics. Otherwise, the integrated support is designed to provide ample comfort.
Are these trainers true to size?
Clarks generally recommends ordering your standard UK size. However, fit can vary slightly. Info needed: [Specific sizing recommendations or a size chart link].
Troubleshooting
Nubuck appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the area with a nubuck brush. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions.
Trainers feel less supportive over time
The moulded Contour Cushion footbed is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can compress materials. Ensure proper care and consider replacing the trainers if support significantly diminishes.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of a similar type and length.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
While the leather lining is breathable, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). Allow shoes to air out between wears. If the issue persists, ensure the shoes are not overly tight.

- Loosen the laces to comfortably slip your foot into the shoe.
- Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, yet comfortable, custom fit across the top of your foot.
- Tie the laces securely.
There is no extensive 'breaking-in' period generally required due to the soft nubuck and flexible construction, though initial wear for shorter periods is always recommended for any new footwear.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for casual wear and pair well with a wide range of everyday attire. They are an excellent choice for:
- Casual denim and trousers
- Leggings and activewear
- Casual dresses and skirts
They are not designed for rigorous athletic activities like running or intense sports.
Care
The nubuck upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a specialized nubuck brush. For more stubborn marks, use a nubuck-specific cleaning solution, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate wearing them in variable weather conditions. This helps protect against moisture and stains.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the nubuck to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
