Product Information

Full details

The Clarks Craft Remi Lace shoe is designed for adult males seeking a blend of comfort and classic style for both workwear and events. Its key benefit lies in its premium hand-finished leather and advanced cushioning technology, offering timeless appeal with modern comfort. A potential consideration is that, like many fine leather shoes, they may require a break-in period for optimal comfort.

FAQs

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the Craft Remi Lace features a removable moulded EVA footbed, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics or replacement with different insoles.

What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?

For comfort and breathability, it is recommended to wear standard dress socks or casual socks made from materials like cotton, wool, or bamboo. During the break-in period, slightly thicker socks might aid in stretching the leather.

How often should I condition the leather?

It is generally recommended to condition the leather every 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently you wear the shoes and the environmental conditions. More frequent wear or exposure to dry climates may necessitate conditioning more often.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather is hand-finished and can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in inclement weather and to dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.

What is the primary benefit of the targeted heel cushioning?

The targeted heel cushioning is designed to provide enhanced shock absorption and comfort specifically around the heel area, which helps to reduce foot fatigue during extended periods of wear.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Clarks. For the Craft Remi Lace, ensure you have adequate space at the toe and that the heel does not slip excessively. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, can provide a more accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable on first wear.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to stretch and mould to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a quality leather conditioner. This will restore moisture and suppleness to the leather, reviving its natural sheen.

Slight water marks or scuffs on the leather.

For minor marks, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For more significant water marks, allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat, then condition the leather. For scuffs, a coloured shoe cream or polish matching the leather shade can help conceal them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. For optimal comfort, especially if you are between sizes or prefer a custom fit, consider wearing them around the house for short periods to allow them to mould to your feet.

Compatibility: The Craft Remi Lace is a versatile shoe designed to complement a wide range of adult male attire, from formal suits and business casual trousers to more relaxed chinos and dark denim.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialist leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (every 3-6 months, depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Protection: Use a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
