Product Information
Full details
The Clarks Hollyrose Zip trainers in black are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and stylish everyday footwear. Their key benefit lies in the easy on/off functionality thanks to adjustable laces and a side zip, combined with a lightweight, flexible design for all-day wear. A potential consideration is the 35mm heel height, which may not suit those preferring a completely flat shoe.

FAQs
How do I clean the black leather material?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is 35mm.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable laces allow for a degree of width adjustment, potentially accommodating wider feet. However, individual fit may vary.
Can I wear these for running or intense exercise?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities. They provide cushioning but lack the specific support and features of dedicated running shoes.
How do I put on the shoes if the zip gets stuck?
If the zip is stuck, do not force it. Check for obstructions like threads or fabric. You can try gently wiggling the slider or applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zip teeth to help it move.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean?
Strobel construction refers to how the upper of the shoe is stitched to a fabric layer (the Strobel board) that runs under the foot. This method allows for flexibility and a lightweight feel.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's generally recommended to condition leather shoes every few months, or whenever the material appears dry, to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Zip is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Gently try to move it back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zip lubricant to the teeth.
Laces are uneven or difficult to tighten.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Try loosening all laces before re-tightening from the bottom up for an even pull.
Slight discomfort after initial wear.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. The adjustable laces offer compatibility with varying foot widths. They pair well with a wide range of casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Laces and Zips: Ensure laces are clean and the zip mechanism is free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Occasionally use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
