FAQs
How do I clean the black leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product instructions. Always condition the leather afterward to keep it supple.
Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?
The Un Abode Go Loafer is designed with a standard fit. While leather can stretch and mold over time, for true wide feet, it's best to try them on or consult a Clarks' sizing guide. The 'Unstructured' series generally offers a comfortable, flexible fit.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it's not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a water and stain protector spray designed for leather to offer some resistance against light rain. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to prevent damage and water stains.
What is Cushion Max™ technology?
Cushion Max™ is a Clarks-exclusive technology integrated into the footbed. It's an ultra-soft cushioning system that provides superior shock absorption and responsive comfort, reducing strain on your feet and joints throughout the day.
How durable is the lightweight EVA and rubber sole?
The sole is designed for both lightness and durability, offering good traction and resistance to wear for everyday use. Its combination of EVA for cushioning and rubber for grip ensures a long-lasting, comfortable walking experience under normal conditions.
What kind of socks should I wear with these loafers?
These loafers are versatile. You can wear them with no-show socks for a traditional loafer look, thin dress socks for a more formal touch, or even barefoot for maximum breathability in warmer weather, depending on your personal preference and comfort.
Are these shoes good for long walks or standing all day?
Yes, they are specifically designed with features like Cushion Max™ technology and a dual-density footbed to provide exceptional comfort and support for extended periods of standing and walking, making them a great choice for all-day wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream. Clean the leather first, then rub in the conditioner gently with a soft cloth, allowing it to absorb before buffing lightly.
Shoes feel a bit tight initially.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. The leather will gradually mold to your foot shape for a custom fit. If still too tight after a week, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb moisture and odors.
Sole shows signs of wear or reduced grip.
The EVA and rubber sole is designed for durability. If wear becomes significant, it's best to consult a professional cobbler for assessment and potential resoling. Regularly check for embedded debris that might affect grip.
Shoes get wet and appear water-stained.
Gently wipe off excess water immediately. Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, clean and condition the leather. Consider using a waterproofing spray for future protection.
