FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable for easier cleaning or replacement.
Are these slip-on shoes secure enough for running?
No, these are casual shoes and are not designed for running or high-intensity athletic performance.
What material is the upper made of?
The Bradley Free features a high-quality leather upper.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The Clarks Bradley Free uses standard UK sizing; it is recommended to buy your usual shoe size for the best fit.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof shoes.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels slightly tight when first worn
Leather will naturally soften and stretch to the shape of your foot with time; wear them for short periods at first.
Footbed feels damp after a long day
Remove the OrthoLite insoles after use and let them air out overnight to allow moisture to evaporate completely.
Scuffs appearing on the leather surface
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to nourish the leather and cover minor abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Fit: These shoes are designed to fit true to size. Ensure you wear appropriate socks when trying them on to account for the snug fit provided by the elastic gores.
Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Footbed Care: If the OrthoLite footbed becomes damp, remove it from the shoe to allow for complete air circulation and drying to maintain moisture-wicking properties.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the leather upper when not in use.
