FAQs
Can I replace the insole in the Aldwin2?
Yes, the shoe features a removable moulded EVA footbed, making it compatible with many aftermarket or custom orthotic insoles.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
They are designed for comfort and extended wear, though they are categorized as smart-casual shoes rather than athletic walking shoes.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper stains, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for your shoe's finish.
What is a 'stitched rand'?
The rand is the strip of material between the upper and the sole. A stitched rand adds a decorative, artisanal aesthetic typical of higher-end footwear.
Should I apply polish to the leather?
Applying a matching leather polish or neutral cream will help maintain the color and protect the leather from minor scuffs and dehydration.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of natural leather which is water-resistant at best. Avoid heavy rain and let them air dry naturally if they do get wet.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Use a leather-specific cream or polish and buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural finish.
Footbed feels damp or develops an odor
Remove the EVA footbed and allow it to air out away from direct heat sources. Use an odor-neutralizing spray if necessary.
Shoe feels too tight after long wear
Ensure your socks are not too thick. If it persists, the removable footbed can be swapped for a thinner insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clarks Aldwin2 Derby shoes stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods indoors first to allow the leather to soften and accommodate your foot shape.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather conditioner or cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Apply with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Water Protection: While the rubber outsole is durable, the leather upper is not waterproof. Consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray if you live in a damp climate.
- Footbed Maintenance: If the removable EVA footbed becomes soiled, remove it and clean with a mild soap solution, allowing it to air dry completely before reinserting.
