Clarks Pace - Black - UK 8.5

No, the Clarks Pace shoes are specifically engineered and designed for the performance activity of walking. While they offer excellent cushioning and propulsion for walking, they are not optimized for the different biomechanics and impact forces involved in running.

No, the Clarks Pace shoes feature an S-curve moulded heel counter designed to provide instant comfort right out of the box, eliminating the need for a break-in period.

You can gently clean the woven fabric upper with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then wipe clean. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The product description does not specify that these shoes are waterproof. While the fabric upper may offer some resistance to light splashes, they are not designed to be fully waterproof. Info needed: For wet conditions, consider using a protective spray.

The Infinity Energy Capsules™ are embedded in the sole and compress and rebound with each step. This mechanism maximizes momentum and provides a propulsive effect, helping to power you forward and reduce effort during your walks.

Thanks to the unique C-tread rubber outsole, the Clarks Pace offers maximum traction and grip on all surfaces. This makes them suitable for pavements, sidewalks, light trails, and other diverse urban and natural environments.

C360 Foam™ is Clarks' most advanced two-part cushioning system. It is designed to significantly reduce impact and stabilize every stride, providing superior comfort and protecting your joints during walking.

While the woven fabric upper promotes circulation, for very long walks, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. Ensure your shoes are not laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow.

Although designed for instant comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Check your lacing; ensure it's secure but not overly tight. Experiment with different types of walking socks, as some materials or thicknesses can affect fit and comfort around the heel. If discomfort persists, ensure the size is correct.

The Infinity Energy Capsules™ and C360 Foam™ are durable, but like all cushioning systems, they can compress over extended use. This is a sign of normal wear and tear. Inspect the outsole for significant tread wear, which can also affect performance. Consider replacing your shoes if you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or propulsion.
