FAQs
What is the best way to clean these sandals?
For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied according to the product's instructions.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The flexible cushioning provides some adaptability, but the fixed cross-strap design may be less accommodating for very wide feet. It's best to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It's best to avoid wearing suede sandals in heavy rain, as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
How do I maintain the softness of the suede?
Regular brushing with a suede brush helps maintain the nap and softness. You can also use a suede conditioner sparingly, following the product's guidelines.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
While the flexible cushioning provides comfort, specific arch support levels can vary. For personalized needs, consider consulting with a foot health professional.
What size should I order?
Clarks generally fit true to UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for optimal comfort, especially for sandals.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, apply a specific suede cleaner following product instructions.
Sandals feel stiff initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the flexible cushioning to conform to your foot shape. The high-quality materials will soften with use.
Unpleasant odor from sandals
Allow sandals to air out naturally after each wear. Consider using a shoe deodorizer or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.
Suede color looks faded
Protect sandals from prolonged direct sunlight exposure. Some suede protectors can also help maintain color vibrancy.

Care
Maintaining the beauty of your suede sandals requires specific attention:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher marks or stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions. If your sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Stuffing the sandals with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
