FAQs
How do I best clean and care for the brown nubuck material?
For daily care, use a soft nubuck brush to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are the Clarks Craft Swift Sneakers waterproof?
No, as they are made from authentic nubuck leather, they are not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable water and stain repellent spray for nubuck to offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the 'Contour Cushion' footbed?
The Contour Cushion footbed is an anatomically shaped insole designed to provide lasting comfort and support by cushioning the foot at key pressure points throughout the day.
What is a TR sole?
TR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a material known for being lightweight, flexible, and durable, providing good grip and shock absorption for everyday wear.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Clarks shoes generally run true to size for UK measurements. However, individual fit can vary, so it's always recommended to refer to a size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit for your foot shape.
Can I wear these sneakers in all weather conditions?
These sneakers are best suited for dry conditions. While a protective spray can offer some resistance to light moisture, it is advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing water to preserve the nubuck leather.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck appears dull or dirty
Use a nubuck brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner sparingly, following product instructions.
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, removing the insole, dusting with a little baby powder underneath, and reinserting it can resolve the issue.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. If the laces are old or slick, consider replacing them with new cotton laces.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
Allow for a brief break-in period. Ensure laces are adjusted properly – not too tight, not too loose. Wear appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider a professional fitting.

Care for Brown Nubuck
To ensure your Clarks Craft Swift Sneakers maintain their quality and appearance, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove loose dirt, dust, and restore the nap of the material. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.
- Stain Removal: For more stubborn marks, apply a nubuck-specific cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede materials. Reapply periodically, especially before exposure to potentially damp conditions.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use for extended periods.
