Loreleigh Rae - Black - UK 8

Wipe with a damp cloth for light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow its instructions. Condition regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.

This specific variant is a Standard Fit. While Clarks offers wide fit options in the Loreleigh Rae series, this model is designed for a standard foot width. If you typically require a wider fit, consider checking for wide fit variants or trying a different size.

The Loreleigh Rae flats feature an Ultimate Comfort footbed designed for general cushioning and support. However, as a flat shoe, it may not provide significant anatomical arch support for individuals with high arches or specific orthopedic needs. Consider adding an orthotic insole if additional arch support is required.

Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. This typically takes a few days to a week of regular wear for optimal comfort.

While the leather is durable, it's not waterproof. It's recommended to treat them with a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or standing water to preserve their condition.

The 'barefoot feel' refers to the design that aims for a lightweight, flexible, and unrestrictive wearing experience. This is achieved through the flexible sole and comfortable footbed, giving you a sensation closer to walking barefoot due to minimal interference with natural foot movement.

Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size; if discomfort persists, consider if a wide fit would be more appropriate (this variant is standard fit).

Sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction between the insole and the shoe's base.

While the flexible grippy sole is designed for traction, always exercise caution on wet, oily, or highly polished surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of debris that might reduce grip.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a leather conditioner. For deeper scuffs, a matching leather polish can help restore the appearance. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.
