FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Clarks Rockie Walk GORE-TEX features an integrated GORE-TEX membrane, which is designed to be durably waterproof and breathable, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean the leather upper?

To clean the black leather upper, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner and follow with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always allow them to air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, these shoes come with an 'H' width fitting, which provides a more generous fit designed to accommodate wider feet comfortably.

Can I wear these in warm weather?

While the GORE-TEX membrane is breathable, these shoes are designed for all-weather protection and feature a robust leather construction. They may feel warm on very hot days. They are generally more suited for cooler or transitional climates.

What kind of socks should I wear with GORE-TEX shoes?

For optimal comfort and to maximize the GORE-TEX breathability, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking socks made from materials like wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, as they can retain moisture.

How durable is the outsole grip?

The shoes are equipped with a durable rubber outsole specifically designed to provide reliable grip and traction on various surfaces, including wet city pavements and light country tracks.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel damp inside, even with GORE-TEX.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can retain moisture. Also, confirm the shoes haven't been submerged above the GORE-TEX membrane, and check if the outer leather is heavily saturated, which can hinder breathability. Regular cleaning and re-waterproofing of the outer leather can help.

The leather looks dull or has minor scuffs.

Clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, a small amount of matching shoe polish or a leather conditioner can often restore the appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

The shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes, especially durable ones, may require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. The leather will soften and conform to your foot's shape over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection with GORE-TEX
  • Superior comfort for all-day wear thanks to Contoured Comfort footbed
  • Durable and long-lasting leather construction
  • Reliable grip on varied surfaces
  • Wider H-width fitting available for improved comfort

Cons

  • May feel heavier than non-waterproof shoes
  • Requires regular leather care and maintenance
  • Styling may be too robust for some formal occasions
  • Info needed: May have a longer break-in period compared to softer materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply put on the shoes. Ensure you choose a comfortable pair of socks, preferably moisture-wicking, to complement the GORE-TEX breathability. Lace them up securely for optimal support.

Compatibility

These shoes are versatile for a range of activities:

  • Daily Commuting: Ideal for walking to work, public transport, and navigating urban environments.
  • Casual Wear: Perfect for everyday outings, errands, and social gatherings.
  • Light Outdoor Activities: Suitable for walking on country tracks, parks, and light trails.
  • Weather Conditions: Excellently suited for wet, damp, and cooler weather due to GORE-TEX protection.

They are not designed for heavy athletic performance, intense hiking, or highly formal events.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
  3. Waterproofing (GORE-TEX): While GORE-TEX itself is waterproof, the outer leather can become saturated over time, reducing breathability and comfort. Use a suitable leather protector or re-waterproofing spray (safe for GORE-TEX) to maintain the leather's water repellency.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet inside, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
