Clarks Pace - Black - UK 9

The Clarks Pace shoe is specifically engineered and scientifically backed for the performance activity of walking. While comfortable, its design optimizes for the unique biomechanics and demands of walking, not for high-impact activities like running or other sports.

The Infinity Energy Capsules™ are innovative components embedded in the shoe's sole. They are designed to compress and then rebound with each step you take, efficiently converting the energy of your stride into forward propulsion, helping you maintain momentum.

C360 Foam™ is Clarks' most advanced two-part cushioning system. It forms a dual-layer sole that significantly reduces the impact on your feet and joints during walking, while also stabilizing every stride for a more comfortable and secure experience.

No, a key design feature of the Clarks Pace is the S-curve moulded heel counter, which provides a secure fit and reduces pressure on the Achilles from the outset. This means you get instant comfort right out of the shoe box, with no break-in period needed.

For the woven black fabric upper (Polyester), we recommend using a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe away dirt and stains. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or submerging the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

The Clarks Pace features a fully moulded footbed designed to deliver maximum underfoot comfort and support as an integral part of the shoe's performance system. While some custom orthotics may fit, the original footbed is not designed to be easily removable. Check with a foot specialist for compatibility with your specific orthotics.

The Infinity Energy Capsules™ and C360 Foam™ are designed for durability, but natural wear and compression can occur. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly, and check for any physical damage to the sole. Over time, all cushioning materials will degrade with extensive use.

While the woven fabric upper promotes circulation, proper foot hygiene and moisture-wicking socks are crucial. Ensure shoes are thoroughly air-dried between uses. If the issue persists, consider using foot powder or odor-absorbing inserts.

The C-tread outsole offers excellent grip, but no shoe can guarantee absolute traction on all extreme surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris, as this can reduce effectiveness. Adjust your walking gait and pace on very slick or uneven terrain.

The S-curve moulded heel counter is designed for instant comfort. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate your sock choice (ensure they are not too thin or thick) and lacing tightness. Your foot shape might also benefit from minor adjustments to lacing patterns to relieve pressure points.
