Clarks Pace - Black - UK 7.5

No, the Clarks Pace shoes are specifically engineered for the performance activity of walking. Their features, such as the Infinity Energy Capsules and C360 Foam, are optimized for walking mechanics, propulsion, and stability, which differ from the specific impact and motion requirements of running.

No, the S-curve moulded heel counter and overall design of the Clarks Pace shoes provide instant comfort right out of the box, eliminating the need for a break-in period.

For the woven black fabric upper, gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.

The unique C-tread rubber outsole is designed to offer maximum traction and grip on 'all surfaces', making them versatile for various walking environments, including pavement, concrete, paths, and light trails.

The Infinity Energy Capsules™ are embedded in the sole and are designed to compress and rebound with each step. This mechanism actively propels you forward, maximizing momentum and making your walks feel more energetic and efficient.

Yes, the S-curve moulded heel counter is specifically designed to reduce pressure on the Achilles during heel strike, which can be beneficial for individuals prone to Achilles discomfort or seeking enhanced comfort in that area.

Ensure you have the correct size and width; improperly sized shoes can negate cushioning benefits. Try wearing performance-oriented walking socks designed to reduce friction and provide additional support. While the shoes offer advanced comfort, taking short breaks during very long walks can also help.

Inspect the outsole and C360 Foam for signs of excessive wear or compression. All cushioning materials have a lifespan; if the primary support structures show significant degradation, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes. Also, ensure laces are tied securely for optimal foot containment.

Check the outsole for any small pebbles or debris lodged in the C-tread that might cause friction. If the squeak persists, it could be due to friction between the removable footbed and the shoe's interior; try removing the footbed, cleaning it and the shoe's interior, then reinserting it, or applying a light dusting of talcum powder beneath it.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out and dry after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then removed). Washing the footbeds gently with mild soap and water (and drying thoroughly) can also help. Avoid storing shoes in damp environments.
