FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the Aldwin2 Derby is designed for active wear with targeted heel and ankle cushioning, making them far more comfortable for walking than standard dress shoes.
Is the footbed removable?
Yes, the moulded EVA footbed can be removed if you need to use your own custom orthotics.
Can I wear these with jeans?
Absolutely. The smart-casual design of the Aldwin2 makes it a perfect complement to dark-wash jeans or chinos.
What is the heel height?
The shoe features a 3cm heel, which is designed to provide optimal comfort and a slight lift for a better walking gait.
How do I maintain the black leather finish?
Keep the leather clean with a damp cloth and apply a black leather cream regularly to maintain the depth of color and protect against drying.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first wear
Leather will naturally stretch and conform to your foot. Wear them for short sessions at home with medium-weight socks to gently break them in.
Minor scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a high-quality black leather polish or cream that matches the tone of the shoe to buff out light abrasions.
Footbed feels damp after a long day
Remove the EVA insole and allow the shoe to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours to ensure proper moisture evaporation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clarks Aldwin2 Derby shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them indoors for short durations for the first few days to allow the leather to mould to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. Use a leather-appropriate conditioner or cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Moisture Protection: If caught in the rain, stuff the shoes with newspaper and let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from warping.
- Insole Maintenance: If you prefer custom orthotics, the factory-moulded EVA footbed is removable, allowing for easy replacement or cleaning of the interior space.
