Clarks Pace - Blue - UK 12

The Clarks Pace shoes are specifically engineered for the performance activity of walking, providing optimal propulsion, cushioning, and stability for that purpose. While they offer good traction, they are not specifically designed for the higher impact of running or the varied, often rugged terrain of trail hiking.

No, thanks to the innovative S-curve moulded heel counter and advanced cushioning, the Clarks Pace shoes are designed to provide instant comfort right out of the box, with no break-in period required.

The Infinity Energy Capsules™ are embedded in the sole. They compress under the force of your foot striking the ground and then rapidly rebound, releasing energy to help propel your foot forward, enhancing momentum with each step.

C360 Foam™ is Clarks' most advanced two-part foam cushioning system. It's integrated into the dual-layer sole to reduce impact effectively and provide excellent stability for your stride.

For the woven fabric upper, it's best to gently clean it with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, and always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

The product description mentions a 'moulded footbed' that delivers maximum underfoot comfort. While it provides comfort, it's typically integrated and not designed for easy removal.

The unique C-tread rubber outsole is designed to offer maximum traction and grip on all surfaces, providing confidence and stability whether you're walking on dry pavement, wet paths, or slightly uneven ground.

The advanced cushioning system is designed for durability, but consistent heavy use can gradually reduce its responsiveness. Ensure proper fit, and consider the age of the shoes. Regular cleaning can also help prevent material breakdown. If the issue persists after significant use, it might be time to replace them.

The woven upper promotes circulation, but individual foot perspiration varies. Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. You can remove and wash the insoles (if removable) or use a shoe deodorizer spray. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help.

Inspect the C-tread rubber outsole for wear and tear. Over time, the tread can wear down, reducing grip. Clean the outsole regularly to remove embedded dirt, small stones, or debris that might be impacting its effectiveness. If the tread is significantly worn, replacement might be necessary.

Use a soft brush and a solution of mild soap and water to gently scrub the affected area. For stubborn stains, a specialized fabric shoe cleaner might be effective. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.
