Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Clarks Etch Pure K shoes:
- Cleaning Patent Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the patent leather uppers regularly. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap diluted in water can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which can damage the patent finish.
- Scuff Marks: For minor scuffs, a patent leather cleaner or a dab of petroleum jelly can sometimes help restore shine.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
- Odor Management: The antimicrobial linings help, but for best results, allow shoes to air out after wear, especially if feet have been particularly sweaty. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
