FAQs
Can I replace the insole in the Aldwin2?
Yes, the shoe features a removable moulded EVA footbed, making it compatible with most aftermarket or custom orthotic insoles.
Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, they are made of leather and should not be submerged in water. Use a leather water-proofer spray to add a layer of protection against light rain.
How do I determine if these are the right size?
The Aldwin2 fits standard UK sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes good for walking long distances?
They are designed for all-day comfort, but they are constructed as dress-casual shoes rather than performance walking shoes.
What is the best way to polish the leather?
Use a high-quality black shoe cream or wax polish applied with a soft cotton cloth, then buff with a horsehair brush to achieve a clean shine.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Feet often swell during the day; ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit in the morning, and consider wearing thin moisture-wicking socks.
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a matching black leather cream or wax polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the original finish.
Footbed is uncomfortable
Ensure the removable footbed is seated flatly against the bottom of the shoe; if it continues to be uncomfortable, consider replacing it with an aftermarket insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clarks Aldwin2 Derby shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter periods during the first few days to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Use a premium leather cleaner and a soft brush for deeper stains.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and absorb excess moisture.
- Footbed Management: If you use custom insoles, simply lift the existing EVA footbed and replace it with your own.
