FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While they have a sports-inspired design, the Clarks Craft Swift Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light walking due to their flat heel and focus on everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
Can I wash the removable footbed?
We recommend hand-washing the footbed with mild soap and water, then allowing it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the TPU spoiler for?
The TPU spoiler is a small, rigid piece typically found at the back of the heel. Its purpose is to provide a firm surface that makes it easier to slip the shoe on without crushing the heel counter.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, as they feature a 100% leather upper, these trainers are not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray to enhance water resistance and protect against stains, and avoiding heavy rain or standing water.
How do I know if the size is right for me?
Clarks typically run true to UK sizes. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Your toes should not touch the front, and your heel should feel secure without slipping excessively.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on how often you wear the trainers and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general rule, conditioning every 2-3 months is a good practice to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Clean the leather thoroughly and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Regular conditioning every few months helps prevent dryness.
Trainers feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lacing for a snugger or looser fit. Remember the footbed is removable; try wearing them without it or replacing it with a different insole if needed.
Squeaking sound when walking.
The squeak often comes from friction between the footbed and the sole. Try removing the footbed, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the footbed. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Odour developing inside the trainers.
Remove the footbeds and allow them to air out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odours, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure socks are clean and dry when wearing.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot (like a double knot). You might also consider replacing the laces with a slightly different material if the issue persists.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This helps to moisturize the material.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before first wear.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
