Un Abode Go Loafer - Clarks - Black - UK 9.5

Clarks typically aims for consistent sizing. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. If you are unsure, consider trying them on or consulting a Clarks sizing guide.

While the black leather upper offers some natural resistance, these loafers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. If they do get wet, follow the drying instructions in the 'Care Instructions' section.

Cushion Max™ is a proprietary Clarks cushioning system integrated into the sole. It's designed to provide superior shock absorption and enhanced underfoot comfort, reducing fatigue during extended wear.

The product information does not specify a wide fit. Leather can stretch over time, but for optimal comfort with wide feet, it's best to try them on or seek advice from a footwear specialist.

For average use, conditioning every 1-3 months is generally sufficient to keep the leather supple. If worn frequently or exposed to dry conditions, you may need to condition more often.

The Un Abode Go Loafer features a dual density footbed integrated into the shoe's design for optimal comfort. While technically possible, replacing the insole may alter the intended fit and comfort provided by the Cushion Max™ technology. It's generally not recommended.

The lightweight EVA and rubber sole provides good everyday traction on typical surfaces. However, they are not specifically designed or certified as slip-resistant footwear for industrial or high-risk environments.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) daily to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your feet. You can also use shoe stretchers for a gentle expansion.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner followed by a black shoe polish. Buff gently with a soft brush or cloth to restore shine.

Sometimes moisture or trapped air can cause squeaking. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole. If the squeak persists, check for any small debris lodged in the sole's tread.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Consider using cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and natural deodorizers, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing).

For light stains, a damp cloth might suffice. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for black leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
