Product Information

Full details

The Clarks Craft Remi Lace is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, comfortable, and classic Derby shoe suitable for both workwear and events. Its key benefit is the combination of premium, hand-finished leather with advanced comfort features like a removable EVA footbed and targeted heel cushioning. A potential caveat for some users may be the specific UK 6.5 sizing, which might require trying on for a perfect fit.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday office wear?

Yes, the classic Derby design and comfortable construction make them well-suited for everyday office wear, bridging the gap between formal and smart casual.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather is premium, it's not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a waterproofing spray for added protection against light rain. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

How do I clean the leather exterior?

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For minor marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. A leather conditioner should be applied periodically.

Is the footbed removable?

Yes, the shoe features a removable, moulded EVA footbed, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if desired.

What is the best way to store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag. Using shoe trees is recommended to help maintain their shape.

What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?

Mid-weight dress socks or casual socks made from natural fibers like wool or cotton are generally suitable. Ensure they provide adequate comfort without making the shoe too tight.

How long does the leather typically last with proper care?

With regular cleaning and conditioning, the premium leather should provide years of durable wear, maintaining its aesthetic appeal.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight on first wear.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner according to product instructions. Regular conditioning helps maintain the leather's natural oils and appearance.

Discomfort in the heel area.

Ensure the removable EVA footbed is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thicker socks or using an additional heel insert.

Water spots on the leather.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore suppleness and appearance. Future treatment with a waterproofing spray is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Craft Remi Lace requires no setup. Upon receiving the shoes, ensure they fit comfortably. The removable footbed can be taken out if you wish to insert custom orthotics.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of legwear, including trousers, chinos, and suits. They are best suited for smart casual to semi-formal occasions.

Care: To maintain the premium look and longevity of the leather, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically use a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  3. Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in varied weather conditions.
  4. Storage: When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Using shoe trees can help preserve the shoe's structure.
