FAQs
How do I clean my Clarks Craft Swift leather shoes?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner and condition regularly to keep the leather supple.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the footbed is designed to be removable, allowing for customizable comfort or the insertion of personal orthotics.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Absolutely. The combination of a bouncy foam footbed, impact-absorbing EVA, and overall supportive design makes them very comfortable for prolonged wear.
What is the purpose of the TPU spoiler?
The TPU spoiler is a design element that also functions to make putting on and taking off the shoes easier and more convenient.
How durable is the outsole?
The Craft Swift features a robust rubber outsole engineered for maximum durability, providing long-lasting wear and good traction.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some natural resistance, these are not waterproof shoes. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather. If they get wet, dry them properly as described in the care section.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing for a more customized fit. Remember the footbed is removable, so you can take it out if extra room is needed or replace it with a thinner one. Conversely, a thicker aftermarket insole might help if the shoe feels too loose.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Remove the footbed and sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinsert the footbed.
Leather looks dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner, following the product's instructions. A shoe polish matching the leather color can also help restore its luster.
Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides maximum durability and good grip, extreme conditions like ice or highly polished wet floors can still be slippery. Exercise caution in such environments. Ensure the tread is clean of debris.

Care Instructions
To ensure your Clarks Craft Swift trainers maintain their premium look and extend their lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or alcohol-based products, as these can damage the leather.
