FAQs
Are Nalle Zen sneakers suitable for all weather conditions?
The Nalle Zen sneakers, with their leather upper, are not waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suitable leather protector spray can enhance their water resistance.
Can I remove or replace the Contour Cushion footbed?
The Contour Cushion footbed is an integral part of the Nalle Zen's design, providing specialized support and comfort. While it might be possible to remove it, it is not designed to be easily replaceable or regularly removed, as this could impact the shoe's intended fit and comfort.
What is the recommended cleaning method for the silver leather?
For routine cleaning, gently wipe the silver leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to address specific stains, use a specialized leather cleaner formulated for metallic finishes, following the product's instructions carefully and testing on a hidden area first.
What is the heel height of the Nalle Zen sneakers?
The Nalle Zen sneakers feature a comfortable 20mm heel height. This provides a slight lift while maintaining the casual and comfortable feel of a sneaker.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Clarks footwear is generally designed to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend consulting the Clarks sizing guide or trying them on to ensure the most accurate and comfortable fit for you.
Are these shoes appropriate for running or intense workouts?
No, the Nalle Zen sneakers are designed as a 'smart sneaker' for everyday comfort, casual wear, and light activity. They are not engineered with the specific performance features required for running, high-intensity workouts, or athletic sports.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose during wear.
The Nalle Zen sneakers feature both laces and a side zip. The laces are crucial for adjusting the fit across the instep and around your foot's width. Try loosening or tightening the laces until you achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. The side zip primarily aids in easy entry and exit.
A subtle squeaking sound is heard when walking.
This can sometimes occur if there's minor friction or moisture between the footbed and the sole. Carefully remove the Contour Cushion footbed (if easily removable without damage) and sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinsert the footbed. Ensure your shoes are completely dry before wearing.
Scuffs or minor marks appear on the silver leather upper.
For very light surface scuffs, gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a leather conditioner or polish specifically formulated for metallic or silver leather. Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure no discoloration or damage occurs.

Care for Leather Uppers
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the silver leather upper with a soft, clean, damp cloth to remove any surface dirt or dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for metallic finishes, applying it sparingly according to the product's instructions on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: To safeguard the leather from water and stains, consider applying a leather protector spray specifically designed for finished leather. Apply periodically as directed by the product manufacturer.
- Drying: If your sneakers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as these can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or discolor.
- Storage: When not in use, store your Nalle Zen sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing the shoes with crumpled paper can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
Sole Care
Periodically clean the durable rubber sole with a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt and debris, which helps maintain its grip and extend the lifespan of the sole.
