FAQs
Can I replace the footbed with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Clarks Craft Swift features a removable footbed, allowing you to easily replace it with custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalized comfort and support.
How do I clean the leather upper of my Craft Swift trainers?
For basic cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a mild leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for premium leather footwear. Always follow the product's instructions and allow to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes suitable for all-weather conditions?
While the premium leather offers some natural water resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to enhance protection, especially in damp conditions.
What is the 'TPU spoiler' mentioned in the features?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) spoiler is a design element, often located at the heel or collar, that aids in making the shoe easier to slip on and off quickly and conveniently.
Do the Craft Swift trainers offer good arch support?
The Craft Swift features a bouncy foam footbed designed to provide substantial underfoot support and cushioning. The removable nature of the footbed also allows for the insertion of custom arch support if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. The removable footbed allows for customization; try removing it if too tight, or adding a thinner insole if too loose, to achieve an optimal fit.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather thoroughly, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. This will rehydrate the leather and restore its natural luster.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the removable footbed is properly seated. Sometimes, friction between the footbed and the shoe's interior can cause squeaking. Remove, dust, and reinsert it. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the footbed might help.
Reduced grip on outsole.
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread grooves to ensure maximum traction. If the outsole is severely worn, the shoe's grip may be permanently reduced.

Care Instructions
Given the premium leather upper, proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Craft Swift trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry brush or a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are frequently exposed to dry conditions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
