FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather offers some protection against light splashes, these shoes are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are designed to work with the Active Air system, but if necessary, they may be replaced with thin orthotic inserts.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing; if you are between sizes, it is recommended to try the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

What is the best way to clean the sole?

A damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient to wipe down the synthetic outsole to remove dirt and grime.

Can these be worn for formal events?

They are best suited for smart-casual settings and may be too informal for black-tie or highly formal events.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff upon first wear

Leather shoes often require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are not worn. If the issue persists, consider replacing the laces with a slightly more textured set.

Minor scuffs on the leather surface

Use a matching brown shoe cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the leather finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Clarks Oakland Sun shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
  3. Lacing: Ensure laces are untied before removing the shoe to prevent unnecessary stress on the heel counter.
  4. Moisture: If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp or stiffen the leather.
