FAQs
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Bradley Free features a removable Ortholite footbed, making it compatible with most aftermarket or custom orthotic inserts.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof; it is recommended to apply a leather protectant spray.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning, then follow up with a leather conditioner to maintain the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The elastic gores provide some flexibility for wider feet, but they are built to a standard width profile.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the moisture-wicking properties of the Ortholite footbed make them suitable for sockless wear, though breathable socks are recommended for hygiene.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels slightly loose over time
The leather may stretch slightly with use; consider adding a thin flat insole underneath the existing footbed for a tighter fit.
Footbed is damp or smells after use
Remove the Ortholite insole and allow it to air out separately; wipe the interior of the shoe with a moisture-absorbing cloth.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a high-quality black shoe cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the original sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Clarks Bradley Free shoes, begin by applying a protective leather spray upon purchase to guard against moisture and dirt. Because these shoes feature a removable Ortholite footbed, you can easily swap the insole if you use custom-molded orthotics. For general maintenance, wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink. Use a matching leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent creases.
