FAQs

How do I determine my correct size?

Clarks typically run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, consult the Clarks size guide, and consider your usual UK shoe size.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Romsey Lace is a standard fit. If you typically require a wide fit, these might feel snug. It's always best to try them on or check for specific wide-fit versions if available.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are replaceable. You can use standard waxed cotton laces to maintain the shoe's formal aesthetic. Ensure the replacement laces are of similar length and thickness to the originals for the best look and fit.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Romsey Lace shoes are made of leather and are not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, heavy rain or standing water should be avoided. For enhanced protection, consider applying a suitable leather water repellent spray.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

Light cleaning should be done as needed, typically after a few wears. Conditioning the leather every 2-3 months is generally sufficient to keep it supple and prevent drying, depending on how often they are worn and the conditions they are exposed to.

Are these shoes heavy?

No, the Romsey Lace features a lightweight EVA outsole, which contributes to a very light and comfortable feel, especially for a durable leather shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using thick socks can also help stretch the leather slightly. Ensure the sizing is correct.

Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather.

For light scuffs, a quality leather shoe polish in black can often conceal them. Apply a small amount, let it dry, and then buff. For deeper scratches, specialized leather repair creams or a professional shoe repair service may be needed.

Squeaking sound when walking.

A common cause is friction between parts of the shoe or between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is securely attached or consult a shoemaker.

Leather appears dry or dull.

This indicates the leather needs conditioning. Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream. This will nourish the leather, restoring its moisture and natural sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

No complex setup is required for your Romsey Lace shoes. Simply unbox, adjust the laces to your preferred snugness, and they are ready to wear.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed to be a versatile staple in a smart wardrobe:

  • Office Wear: Ideal for pairing with suits, dress trousers, or chinos for a professional look.
  • Smart-Casual: Perfectly complements jeans, corduroys, or tailored shorts when aiming for a relaxed yet polished style.
  • Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for year-round wear, though best in dry conditions to preserve the leather.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps maintain its natural luster.
  3. Polishing: For a high shine, use a quality shoe polish in black. Apply in small circular motions, let dry, then buff with a clean cloth or brush.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector specifically designed for leather to guard against spills and moisture.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
