FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, the Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes feature an integrated GORE-TEX membrane, making them reliably waterproof and breathable. They are designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I clean the dark tan leather?

Wipe the leather with a damp, soft cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it as per the product instructions. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?

Yes, despite their 'winter-ready' features, the GORE-TEX membrane is breathable, and the leather lining helps regulate temperature, making them suitable for comfortable wear in milder to warm conditions as well.

What is the Contour Comfort™ footbed?

The Contour Comfort™ footbed is an ergonomically designed insole that contours to the natural shape of your foot, providing superior cushioning, arch support, and shock absorption for enhanced comfort during prolonged wear.

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

These shoes are well-suited for light country tracks, urban walking, and casual outdoor strolls. They are not designed for strenuous hiking, technical trails, or heavy-duty mountaineering where specialized hiking boots would be required.

What is the best way to dry my GORE-TEX shoes if they get wet?

Always air dry your GORE-TEX shoes naturally at room temperature. Remove any insoles to speed up drying. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight, as high heat can damage the leather and the GORE-TEX membrane.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp or wet inside the shoes despite GORE-TEX.

First, ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking material (not cotton). If the issue persists, check the leather upper for any cuts or deep abrasions that might compromise the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure the top of the shoe is not submerged above the GORE-TEX line. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.

The leather upper appears dull, dry, or cracked.

This is a sign that the leather needs conditioning. Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a quality leather conditioner or cream, rubbing it in gently with a soft cloth. Buff to a gentle sheen. Regular conditioning will prevent this issue.

The shoes feel less comfortable or supportive over time.

While the Contour Comfort footbed is durable, constant wear can lead to some compression. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, inspect the footbed for excessive wear or damage. If needed, some insoles can be replaced, but for integrated footbeds, consult with Clarks customer service.

Reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces.

Check the rubber outsole for any accumulation of dirt, mud, or small stones that might be reducing traction. Clean the tread thoroughly. If the outsole appears excessively worn smooth, especially in high-contact areas, it may indicate that the sole is nearing the end of its effective life.

  • Superior all-day comfort and support from the Contour Comfort footbed

  • Not intended for heavy-duty hiking or extreme outdoor conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes require no complex setup. Simply put them on and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and adapt to your foot's unique shape.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for versatility. They pair well with a range of attire from casual jeans and chinos to more smart-casual trousers. Their robust design and weather protection make them suitable for diverse environments, including city streets, office settings (where appropriate), and light country walks.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Regularly wipe down the dark tan leather with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the leather type. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Conditioning the Leather: To keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking, apply a quality leather conditioner every few weeks or as needed. This will help maintain its appearance and durability.
  3. GORE-TEX Membrane Care: The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe. Do not use oil-based products directly on the membrane as this can affect its breathability. Ensure the outer leather is clean and treated, as this protects the underlying membrane.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as these can damage the leather and adhesives.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Outsole Maintenance: Periodically check the rubber outsole for embedded debris and clean it to maintain optimal grip.
