FAQs
How do I clean the white leather upper?
For daily maintenance, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a white leather cleaner applied with a clean cloth. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can I use my own orthotics with these sneakers?
Yes, the footbed is designed to be removable, allowing you to insert your custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalised comfort and support.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
The Clarks Craft Swift Sneaker is designed for casual everyday wear and light activities, prioritising comfort and style. They are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is built for maximum durability, providing long-lasting wear and reliable traction on various surfaces in urban and casual settings.
What is the best way to store these sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing over time.
Is the leather waterproof?
The premium leather upper is not fully waterproof. While it can withstand light moisture, heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. Consider using a leather-specific protective spray for enhanced water resistance.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dull or discoloured.
Regularly wipe the sneakers with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated white leather cleaner and a clean cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
Footbed feels less supportive or retains odour.
Remove the footbed and allow it to air out completely for 24 hours. If necessary, gently hand wash the footbed with mild soap and water, then air dry thoroughly before reinserting. Consider using a shoe deodorizer.
Squeaking sound from the sole.
Check for any trapped moisture or debris between the sole and the upper. Sometimes, a light application of baby powder or cornstarch under the removable footbed can resolve the issue.
Laces constantly come untied.
Ensure you are tying a proper knot (e.g., a square knot). If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of the appropriate length and material.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning: For white leather, wipe down after each use with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks or scuffs, use a dedicated white leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and protect its finish. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Air Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Footbed Care: The removable footbed can be taken out and aired after wear to prevent odour buildup. If necessary, hand wash the footbed with mild soap and water, and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: For added protection against water and stains, you may use a leather-specific protective spray. Info needed: [Recommend specific type of spray if applicable].
