FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Clarks Aldwin Limit typically comes in a standard fit. While the adjustable laces allow for some customization, if you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Some Aldwin Limit variants are explicitly labeled 'Standard Fit'.
How do I clean the responsibly sourced leather?
For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to its instructions. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.
Can the Contour Cushion footbed be removed or replaced?
The moulded Contour Cushion footbed is designed to be an integral part of the shoe's comfort system. While it might be possible to remove it, it's generally not intended for regular replacement as it's custom-moulded for support. Info needed: [Confirm if footbed is permanently adhered or easily removable.]
Are these shoes good for all-day wear?
Yes, absolutely. The combination of the padded heel tab, adjustable laces for a secure fit, and especially the moulded part-recycled Contour Cushion footbed are specifically designed to provide lasting comfort and support, making them ideal for all-day wear.
What does 'responsibly sourced leather' mean?
'Responsibly sourced leather' indicates that the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries that adhere to environmental, ethical, and social best practices in their operations. This often includes reducing water and energy usage, managing waste, and ensuring fair labor conditions.
How do I prevent the rubber outsole from becoming slippery?
The durable grippy rubber outsole is designed for good traction. To maintain this, regularly clean the outsole with a stiff brush and water to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or small debris that could reduce grip. Avoid walking on excessively oily or wet surfaces where any sole may struggle.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a strong, secure knot, such as a surgeon's knot or a double knot. Periodically check the laces for wear and replace them if they become stretched or frayed.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. The responsibly sourced leather will soften and mold to your feet over time, especially with the help of the Contour Cushion footbed.
Leather appears dry or has minor scuffs.
Clean the area thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner to rehydrate the leather. For scuffs, use a matching shoe polish and buff gently. Regular conditioning is key to preventing dryness.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often, this is due to the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the Contour Cushion footbed, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, inspect the outsole for loose parts.

Care
Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your leather shoes. **
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Every few weeks (or more often depending on use), apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important for the responsibly sourced leather.
- Polishing: Use a brown shoe polish to maintain the shine and protect the leather. Buff to a desired luster with a soft brush or cloth.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Never use artificial heat.
- Storage: Store shoes with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place.
- Outsole Care: Clean the durable grippy rubber outsole with a stiff brush and water to remove embedded dirt and maintain traction.
