FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Clarks Lauryl Zip boots are made from natural leather, which offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray for enhanced water repellency, and avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water.
How do I choose the correct size?
These boots are listed in UK adult female sizing. It's generally recommended to order your usual shoe size. Clarks footwear is known for consistent sizing, but if you are between sizes, consider trying both. (Info needed: Specific sizing guide/recommendation if available).
Can I replace the insole?
The Ultimate Comfort foam footbed is integrated into the design for optimal cushioning. While it is not designed to be easily removable or replaceable by the user, its lasting comfort is a key feature of the boot.
How often should I condition the leather?
For optimal care, condition the leather every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you wear the boots often or expose them to harsh conditions. Always clean the boots before conditioning.
What is TPR?
TPR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It is a durable and flexible material often used for shoe soles due to its excellent grip, shock absorption, and resistance to wear.
Can I wear these boots in summer?
While black leather ankle boots are typically associated with cooler seasons, their breathable microfibre lining and sleek design can make them suitable for cooler summer evenings or transitional weather, depending on your personal comfort and style.
Troubleshooting
Zip is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric or socks are caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or wax pencil) to the teeth to improve smoothness. Operate the zipper gently up and down several times.
Boots feel less comfortable over time or develop an odor.
The Ultimate Comfort footbed is designed for lasting cushioning. If comfort decreases, check for excessive wear. For odor, remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use a shoe deodorizer spray. The breathable microfibre lining helps, but proper airing is still important.
Leather appears dry or has minor scuffs.
Clean the area with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable black leather polish or conditioner. Buff gently with a clean cloth to restore shine and condition. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit may be necessary.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While the TPR sole offers ultimate underfoot traction, extremely slick surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure soles are clean of debris. If excessive wear on the tread is noted, consider professional resoling or traction pads.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and longevity of your leather ankle boots:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner, following the product's instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially before wearing them in inclement weather.
- Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage leather.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use for extended periods.
