FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, this specific variant of the Clarks Howard Walk is designed with a wide fit to provide extra comfort and accommodate broader feet more effectively.

How do I clean the black leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth for general dirt. For a deeper clean, use a specialized leather cleaner, followed by a leather conditioner and black shoe polish to restore shine and protect the material.

Are the soles replaceable?

The lightweight sole is integrated with the shoe's comfort technologies. While not designed for easy user replacement, a professional cobbler might be able to repair or resole them if necessary.

Do these shoes need to be 'broken in'?

Like most quality leather shoes, a short break-in period is recommended. The leather will soften and conform to your foot's shape, while the comfort technologies adapt to provide personalized support.

What is Cushion Plus™ technology?

Cushion Plus™ is a Clarks-developed technology featuring a cleverly concealed, high-rebound foam inlay inside the shoe. It's designed to absorb the impact of every step, providing supreme softness and lasting comfort.

Are these shoes environmentally friendly?

Clarks has incorporated recycled rubber and bio-based materials in the sole, footbed, laces, and sock components of the Howard Walk shoes to help minimize their environmental footprint.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and mould to your feet. The Cushion Plus™ technology will adapt over time.

Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather

For light scuffs, a quality black shoe polish can often conceal them. Clean the area first, apply polish, and buff gently. For deeper scratches, professional repair may be needed.

Squeaking sound when walking

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by moisture between the sole layers or rubbing between internal components. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole if removable, or to the edges where the upper meets the sole. If it persists, consult a cobbler.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Use

  1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
  2. Adjust Fit: Once your foot is comfortably in, tighten the laces evenly. The hidden elastic will help to conform the shoe to your foot's shape, providing a snug yet flexible fit.
  3. Initial Wear: Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to mould to your foot, especially if you're new to leather formal shoes.

Compatibility

  • Attire: Best paired with formal wear such as suits, blazers, dress trousers, or smart business casual outfits. The classic black leather makes them highly versatile for coordinating with various formal palettes.
  • Socks: For optimal comfort and breathability, wear with quality dress socks that wick moisture.

Product Care

Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your Clarks Howard Walk shoes.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to product instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks or months (depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to maintain the rich lustre of the leather. Apply sparingly and buff to a shine.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially in inclement weather. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store your shoes with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  6. Sole Care: Periodically check the lightweight sole for any embedded debris and remove carefully.
