FAQs
How do I determine my size?
These shoes are listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking Clarks' official sizing guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the 'H Fit' for wider feet.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Clarks Un Abode Ease is designed with a dual-density Cushion Max™ footbed and premium leather linings, providing instant and lasting comfort ideal for all-day wear.
What does 'H Fit' mean?
'H Fit' indicates a wider shoe fitting, designed to provide more room and comfort for individuals with broader feet.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the premium leather is durable, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-resistant spray suitable for leather to provide some protection against light moisture. Avoid heavy rain to preserve the leather's quality.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on how often you wear the shoes and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general guide, conditioning every 1-3 months is recommended to keep the leather supple and prevent drying.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Thanks to the Cushion Max™ footbed and premium leather linings, these shoes offer instant comfort. However, like most quality leather footwear, a short period of initial wear may further mold them to the unique contours of your feet for an even more personalized fit.
Are replacement laces available?
Info needed: Please contact customer support or visit a Clarks store to inquire about the availability of replacement laces for the Un Abode Ease model.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth. Apply a suitable leather conditioner or a matching dark tan shoe polish to restore moisture and cover minor scuffs. Buff to a shine.
Shoes feel too tight despite being the correct size
Ensure you are using the correct width, especially if you have wider feet, as these shoes are 'H Fit'. If they are new, leather may take a short period to stretch and mold to your foot shape. Wear them for short intervals initially.
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, a small amount of friction between the insole and the shoe's interior can cause squeaking. Applying a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole can often resolve this. If the squeaking persists, inspect the sole for any loose elements.
Reduced grip on soles
Ensure the lightweight rubber sole is clean and free from embedded debris, which can reduce traction. For severe wear on the sole, it may be time for replacement or professional resole service.
