FAQs
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, these shoes are made with premium suede and should not be machine washed. Refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
Are the Contour Cushion footbeds replaceable?
Yes, the Contour Cushion footbeds are removable, allowing for easy airing or replacement with custom orthotics if desired.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort, wear socks that wick moisture away from the foot, such as cotton or merino wool blends. This will enhance the breathability provided by the shoe's design.
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks generally fits true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the perfect fit for your UK 8.5 size.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While treated with a water-repellent spray, suede is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material and appearance of the shoes.
What is the significance of the Glastonbury Tor logo?
The embossed Glastonbury Tor logo is an archival design element, celebrating Clarks' rich heritage and connection to its origins in Somerset, England.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers and revive the texture.
Shoes feel less comfortable after extended wear.
The Contour Cushion footbed is removable. Take it out, air it out, and inspect for wear. If needed, consider replacing it or ensuring your socks are appropriate for comfort.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot (like a double knot). You can also try re-lacing the shoes to ensure even tension, which can help prevent loosening.
Suede appears to have a water stain.
Allow the shoe to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently buff the affected area. For stubborn stains, a small amount of distilled white vinegar or a specialized suede cleaner can be dabbed on with a clean cloth, then blotted dry and brushed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Upon first wear, adjust the authentic laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit around your foot. Ensure even tension across the eyelets.

- Seasonal Wear: Suitable for spring, summer, and autumn wear. Less ideal for heavy rain or snow due to the suede material.

Care
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, use a soft suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
