FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
No, the Clarks Craft Swift trainers are designed for casual wear, light walking, and daily activities, emphasizing comfort and style. They are not intended for high-intensity running or athletic sports.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather shoes as it can cause damage, shrinkage, or discolouration. Please refer to the 'Care & Maintenance' section for proper cleaning instructions.
What is the benefit of the removable footbed?
The removable footbed allows for customisable comfort. You can insert your own orthotics or insoles for personalised support, or remove it if you prefer a roomier fit within the shoe.
How do I protect the white leather from water and stains?
We recommend applying a good quality leather protector spray designed for footwear before the first wear and re-applying periodically. While it won't make them fully waterproof, it will significantly help in repelling water and stains.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Clarks shoes generally run true to size in UK sizing. However, foot shape can vary. The removable footbed offers some adjustability. If unsure, consider trying them on or consulting a Clarks size guide.
What is a 'TPU spoiler'?
The TPU spoiler is a small, rigid extension or tab at the heel of the shoe, typically made from Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). Its purpose is to make it easier to pull the shoe on and off quickly and smoothly.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
The Craft Swift features a removable footbed. If the shoes feel too tight, try removing the footbed. If they feel too loose, ensure the footbed is properly inserted and adjust the lacing for a more secure fit.
White leather is getting dirty or scuffed easily.
White leather requires consistent care. Use a soft, damp cloth for daily cleaning. For stubborn marks, invest in a dedicated white leather cleaner. Regular application of a leather protector spray can help prevent future stains and scuffs.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur from friction between the removable footbed and the shoe's sole. Try removing the footbed, cleaning both surfaces, and then reinserting it. A thin layer of talcum powder or fabric softener sheet under the footbed might also help.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Leather shoes often have a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the premium leather to mould to the unique shape of your feet, which will increase comfort over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Clarks Craft Swift trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply slip them on, and adjust the lacing for a snug, comfortable fit. The removable footbed allows you to insert your custom orthotics if desired, or to remove it for a slightly roomier fit within the shoe.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adults and complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are perfect for pairing with jeans, chinos, shorts, or even more relaxed tailored trousers. Their versatile white leather finish makes them a staple for any contemporary wardrobe.
Care & Maintenance
Maintaining the premium white leather of your Craft Swift trainers will ensure their longevity and appearance:
- Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt or light scuffs, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for white leather footwear. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a quality leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This will help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can strip the leather's natural oils and cause damage.
