Product Information
Full details
The Clarks Lydford Mid is designed for adult men who need a versatile, everyday high-top trainer that balances the rugged aesthetic of a classic Derby workboot with the comfort of casual footwear. Its primary strength lies in the premium beeswax leather construction and the shock-absorbing rubber cupsole, providing both durability and all-day comfort. While it offers excellent versatility for various environments, potential owners should note that as a leather product, it requires regular maintenance to preserve its appearance and material integrity over time.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Lydford Mid is made from premium leather, which provides water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof boots.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the boots feature a removable moulded EVA footbed that can be replaced with your own inserts.
Are these suitable for formal occasions?
They feature a casual, utility-inspired Derby cut, making them ideal for casual or smart-casual environments, but they may be too rugged for formal black-tie events.
How do I determine my size?
These boots follow standard UK sizing for men; it is recommended to purchase your usual shoe size, as the leather will conform to your foot over time.
What is the benefit of the rubber cupsole?
The rubber cupsole provides superior grip on slippery surfaces and significantly enhances impact absorption during walking.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels uncomfortable after extended wear
Remove the EVA insert and ensure it is lying flat; alternatively, replace it with an orthotic insert if you require higher arch support.
Leather looks dull or loses its sheen
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or beeswax polish to restore the natural luster and protect the material.
Laces coming undone
Ensure the laces are high-quality cotton or synthetic and tie a secure double knot if you are doing significant walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lydford Mid boots maintain their quality, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to allow the leather to begin shaping to your foot.
- Compatibility: The removable EVA footbed is compatible with most standard aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch support.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather-safe wax or balm periodically to maintain the suppleness of the beeswax finish and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
