Clarks Pace - Black - UK 7

No, the Clarks Pace is specifically designed and scientifically backed for the performance activity of walking. While it offers excellent cushioning and propulsion for walking, it is not engineered for the higher impact and different biomechanics of running or other athletic sports.

It means the shoes are designed to provide instant comfort and a secure fit right out of the box. You shouldn't experience the typical stiffness or rubbing that often occurs with new shoes, thanks to features like the S-curve moulded heel counter.

To clean the polyester fabric upper, gently wipe it with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemical cleaners. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

The Clarks Pace features a moulded footbed for maximum underfoot comfort. While it is generally possible to use custom orthotics, the fit may vary. We recommend trying your orthotics with the shoes to ensure a comfortable and secure fit before extended use. You may need to remove the existing moulded footbed if it is not integrated into the sole.

Thanks to the unique C-tread rubber outsole, these shoes are designed to offer maximum traction and grip on all surfaces. This makes them versatile for urban environments, paved paths, and light trail walking.

The Infinity Energy Capsules™ are embedded in the sole and are designed to compress under the pressure of your step. As they decompress, they rebound, helping to propel you forward and maximize your momentum with each stride, making your walks more efficient.

The S-curve moulded heel counter is designed for instant comfort with no break-in period. If you experience discomfort, double-check your sock choice (ensure they are seamless and moisture-wicking) and lacing to ensure a snug but not overly tight fit. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or try a different size.

The Infinity Energy Capsules™ are durable, but their responsiveness can be affected by excessive wear or improper care. Ensure regular cleaning to prevent debris buildup and rotate your shoes with other footwear to allow the materials to recover. If the feeling significantly diminishes, it may indicate extensive wear on the sole components.

While the C-tread outsole offers maximum traction, no shoe can prevent all slips, especially on extremely slick or icy surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that might reduce grip. Walk with caution on wet or uneven terrain. Inspect the outsole for signs of excessive wear, as worn treads will reduce traction.

The woven polyester upper is designed to promote circulation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate, breathable socks made from moisture-wicking materials. Avoid cotton socks, which can trap moisture. If the problem persists, consider airing out your shoes immediately after each use.
