FAQs

Is the Bowburn Lace suitable for wide feet?

The lace-up design offers significant adjustability, allowing for a better fit across various widths compared to slip-on styles.

Can I replace the insole?

While the shoe features a specialized EVA footbed, you may be able to use a thin aftermarket insert if additional arch support is needed.

What is the best way to clean the leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, let it air dry away from direct heat, and apply a leather-specific cream.

Are these shoes waterproof?

They are crafted from leather, which is naturally water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend a protective spray for better weather resistance.

Can these be worn with jeans?

Yes, their tailored but understated aesthetic works well with dark-wash denim for a sharp, business-casual look.

How should I store them to keep them looking new?

Always store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the structural shape of the heel and toe box.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first wear

Leather typically expands slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods indoors to break them in before extended use.

Scuffs appearing on the leather surface

Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the original luster.

Sole losing its grip

If dirt or debris is trapped in the treads, wash the outsole gently with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore the TPR sole's natural traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Clarks Bowburn Lace shoes starts with proper sizing and consistent maintenance. To ensure a perfect fit, try the shoes on late in the day when your feet are at their largest. Since these are leather shoes, they may require a brief break-in period to contour perfectly to your feet.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the leather surface.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Storage: Use cedar shoe trees when not in use; this helps maintain the shoe's shape and absorbs moisture from the lining.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against moisture in unpredictable weather.
