FAQs

How often should I clean the suede?

It depends on usage, but a light brush after every few wears is recommended. A deeper clean with suede cleaner can be done as needed, typically every few months or when stains appear.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

No, the premium suede is not designed for wet conditions. Exposure to water can cause staining, damage, or alter the suede's texture. Always apply a water and stain protector.

What is an anatomical footbed?

An anatomical footbed is designed to contour to the natural shape of your foot, providing enhanced arch support, heel cushioning, and overall comfort, reducing pressure points.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are standard round laces. If they become worn or you wish to change their appearance, you can easily replace them with similar-sized laces.

What does 'crepe rand' mean?

A crepe rand refers to the distinctive natural crepe rubber strip that encircles the sole of the shoe, connecting the upper to the sole. It's a signature design element often found in Clarks Originals, adding to its heritage aesthetic.

How do I ensure the correct size?

It is recommended to try on the shoes if possible. If purchasing online, refer to the Clarks Originals size guide. Keep in mind that UK sizing is used for this model. Ensure there's a comfortable amount of space for your toes and no pinching.

Will the EVA sole last a long time?

The EVA sole is durable for its lightweight properties, but its lifespan can depend on frequency of wear and walking surfaces. Regular care and rotating your footwear will help prolong its life.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or flattened.

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Water spots or light stains on the suede.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, verify your size; footwear sizing can vary slightly.

Sole feels less grippy over time.

Regularly clean the EVA sole to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can reduce traction. For significant wear, consider professional resoling if available.

Unpleasant odor developing.

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors. Ensure the textile lining is dry.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the premium dark brown suede is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your Meare Walla shoes.

  1. Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically according to product instructions.
  2. Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Cleaning Stains: For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge suede shoes in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes.
