Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by classic running shoes and are not designed for high-performance athletic training.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash suede trainers, as water can damage the material and affect the shoe's shape.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the foam footbed is removable, making it easy to swap for custom inserts or orthotics.

What is the best way to protect the suede?

Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear to help protect against elements.

Do these fit true to size?

Clarks generally follow standard sizing, but because these are a lace-up trainer, you can adjust the tension to match your preferred fit.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels loose

Ensure the foam footbed is fully seated flat against the interior heel and forefoot area.

Suede appears dull

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its texture.

Difficulty keeping laces tight

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider a double knot for a more secure hold.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction minimizes foot fatigue
  • Stylish vintage-inspired design
  • Customizable comfort via removable foam footbed
  • Reliable traction from the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep the suede looking clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Clarks Franco Lace trainers last, focus on proper care for the suede finish. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust regularly. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water. If you require specialized arch support, you can easily pull out the factory foam footbed and swap it for your own orthotic insoles. When not in use, store these shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the blue suede from fading.
