FAQs
How do I clean the nubuck material?
For daily maintenance, use a soft nubuck brush to remove dirt. For stains, a nubuck eraser or specialized nubuck cleaner is recommended. Always let the shoes air dry completely after cleaning, away from direct heat.
Are these sneakers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their pillowy footbed and supportive design, the Hollyhock Walk sneakers are specifically crafted for premium comfort during non-stop, active days.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
While the nubuck is soft, it's not inherently waterproof. It's recommended to apply a nubuck protector spray to enhance water resistance. Avoid heavy rain to preserve the material's quality.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, prolonging their life.
Are the Hollyhock Walk sneakers true to size?
This particular variant is a UK size 9. Clarks generally aims for true-to-size fits, but individual foot shapes vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What kind of activities are these sneakers best suited for?
These sneakers are best for casual activities like walking, daily errands, light travel, and social outings where comfort and contemporary style are desired.
Troubleshooting
My nubuck sneakers look dull or stained.
Gently brush the entire surface with a soft nubuck brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a nubuck eraser or a specialized nubuck cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
The shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size (this pair is UK 9). Try wearing them with thinner socks or for shorter periods to gradually break them in. If discomfort persists, consider checking the fit with a professional shoe specialist.
There's an odor developing in my sneakers.
Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Use odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help prevent odor build-up.
My sneakers got wet in the rain.
Remove any excess water by gently dabbing with a clean cloth. Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
The sole feels less cushioned over time.
While the footbed is designed for long-lasting comfort, heavy and prolonged use can lead to some compression. Consider replacing the original insole with a new, high-quality cushioning insole to revive the feel.

Care & Maintenance
The Hollyhock Walk sneakers are crafted from soft nubuck leather, which requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity. Follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a nubuck and suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Repeat periodically as per the product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush away dirt and dust using a soft nubuck brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, a nubuck eraser can often remove marks without damaging the material.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use abrasive cleaning tools.
