Clarks Neenah Garden Ballerina Flats - Brown - UK 6

The Clarks Nature Three features rich leather uppers, which offer some natural resistance to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof. To enhance their water resistance in wet conditions, we recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray regularly.

For the sheepskin lining, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a very small amount of mild soap diluted in water. Avoid saturating the lining with liquid, and always allow it to air dry completely, away from direct heat.

Active Air underfoot cushioning is Clarks' innovative technology designed to provide superior comfort. It typically involves a system within the sole that circulates air and cushions each step, reducing impact and providing long-lasting support throughout the day.

While the sheepskin lining is breathable, leather shoes can generally feel warmer than canvas or mesh footwear. The Clarks Nature Three is most comfortable and ideal for spring, autumn, and milder winter conditions. For very warm weather, you might prefer lighter, more open footwear.

With proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning and conditioning of the leather, your Clarks Nature Three shoes are designed to be durable and provide long-lasting wear. Their lifespan will vary depending on frequency of use and care taken.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period to adapt to your foot shape. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using thicker socks or dedicated shoe stretchers can also help accelerate this process. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.

Clean the leather uppers thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any surface grime. Then, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or polish designed for brown leather. Buff gently with a soft brush or cloth to restore its luster and moisture.

Inspect the rubber sole for any embedded debris, small stones, or excessive wear on the tread. Clean the tread thoroughly using a stiff brush and water. If the sole is significantly worn, the grip will naturally diminish.

Allow the shoes to air out completely after each wear. If possible, remove insoles and air them separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Consider using moisture-absorbing inserts or rotating between pairs of shoes.
