FAQs
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the Clarks size guide or try on the shoes in-store. Ensure there is enough room for comfort without being too loose.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain. The hair-on and suede materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.
How do I clean the tiger print hair-on material?
Use a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, consult a specialist cleaner for hair-on hides and follow instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the material.
What is the main benefit of the crepe sole?
The natural pebble crepe sole provides cushioning and flexibility, offering signature Clarks comfort for everyday wear.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
Due to the bold animal print and casual silhouette, these shoes are best suited for casual to smart-casual occasions rather than formal events.
How do I maintain the suede accents?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for marks. Consider applying a suede protector spray for added protection.
What does 'hair-on' mean in the product description?
'Hair-on' refers to the use of calf hair as the primary upper material, featuring the animal's natural coat and pattern.
Troubleshooting
Tiger print appears inconsistent.
This is characteristic of natural hair-on materials, where slight variations in pattern and texture are normal and contribute to the unique nature of each shoe.
Crepe sole feels sticky or appears to be degrading.
Natural crepe rubber can be affected by heat and prolonged exposure to certain chemicals. Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight or hot environments. Clean with a damp cloth only.
Suede detailing is marked or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Hair-on material is matted.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently try and restore the natural direction of the hair. Avoid wetting the material excessively.
