FAQs
What type of leather is used for the upper?
The upper is crafted from responsibly sourced, premium off-white leather, which is soft and breathable.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the Hollyhock Walk features a removable insole, allowing you to use custom orthotics or replace it as needed.
How do I clean the white leather on these sneakers?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth for light dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner following the product's instructions, and always test in an inconspicuous area first. Regular cleaning and protection are key.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Absolutely. With their soft leather lining, Moulded Contour Cushion footbed, and lightweight EVA outsole, these sneakers are designed for exceptional all-day comfort and support.
What is 'Heritage Strobel construction'?
Heritage Strobel construction is a traditional method where the upper material is stitched directly to a fabric 'strobel board' (insole board) that is then attached to the sole. This construction enhances the shoe's flexibility and comfort, allowing for more natural foot movement.
What is the heel height of these sneakers?
The Clarks Hollyhock Walk has a comfortable heel height of 35mm.
Are wide-fit options available for the Hollyhock Walk?
Yes, while this particular variant is a standard fit, the Hollyhock Walk series does offer 'Wide Fit' options in other variants for those who need extra room.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure you are using a double knot. You might also consider specific lacing techniques for better security, such as the 'surgeon's knot' or 'friction knot'.
Shoes feel too snug or loose.
Adjust the lace tension. For a snug fit, pull laces tighter from the bottom up. For a looser feel, ease the tension. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct UK size, and consider the 'Wide Fit' variant if needed.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the removable insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check the outsole for any loose parts.
White leather looking dull or stained.
Regular cleaning is crucial for white leather. Use a specialized white leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be required.
Foot odor develops.
The breathable leather lining helps, but if odor occurs, ensure your feet are clean and dry before wearing. Regularly remove and air out the removable insole. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Hollyhock Walk sneakers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Unlace the shoes fully and insert your foot. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit across the top of your foot. The lace-up fastening is designed for a secure, custom fit.
- Insole: The removable insole allows for customisation. If you use personal orthotics, simply remove the existing insole and replace it. Ensure the orthotic fits flat and comfortably within the shoe.
Compatibility
These sneakers are designed for adult female wearers and are suitable for various foot shapes, with a secure lace-up closure. Other variants are available, including wide fit options and different colors/materials, to ensure a perfect match for your preferences.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine appearance of your white leather sneakers:
- Cleaning Leather: For everyday dirt, wipe the premium off-white leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner according to the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray to guard against water stains and dirt buildup. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
- Insole Care: If the removable insole becomes soiled, it can often be wiped clean or hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
