FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they are significantly more comfortable than standard dress shoes due to the EVA sole and OrthoLite footbed, they are designed primarily for office and formal use, not as dedicated walking shoes.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the internal footbed is designed to be comfortable and can generally be swapped out if you need to use your own custom orthotics.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth for daily maintenance and apply a professional leather cream periodically to keep the leather hydrated and prevent cracking.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Clarks Bowburn Tip follows standard UK sizing. If you have worn Clarks shoes in the past, you should find that your standard size remains consistent.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray, but avoid submerging them in deep puddles.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Clean the surface with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality leather conditioner or polish to restore the sheen.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or check if the laces have become waxed or worn, which may require a replacement of the same length.
Sole feels slightly slippery on wet surfaces
Lightly scuff the bottom of the EVA sole with a fine-grit sandpaper to increase traction if the shoes are brand new.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Clarks Bowburn Tip shoes, proper maintenance is essential:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-specific protector spray before your first wear to help repel water and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner followed by a matching shoe cream to maintain the color and suppleness.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees helps the leather maintain its shape and absorbs residual moisture after a day of wear.
- Compatibility: These shoes feature a standard UK sizing profile. If you have specific arch requirements, the removable OrthoLite footbed allows for the easy insertion of custom orthotic insoles.
