FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for school use?

Yes, the Porto Lace is designed to update classic school shoe styles with a modern, slimline aesthetic.

Is the leather waterproof?

The leather is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray if you live in a damp climate.

How do I find my size?

The Clarks Porto Lace uses standard UK sizing. Ensure you measure both feet, as one is often slightly larger than the other.

Can I replace the insoles?

While the shoes feature a comfortable footbed, it is generally recommended to stick with the manufacturer's design for the best fit.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using shoe trees to maintain the structural shape.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface appearing dull or dusty

Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and apply a leather-specific black shoe polish to restore the luster.

Shoes feel too tight across the instep

Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets to provide more room, or wear the shoes for short periods to allow the leather to naturally soften.

Creasing appearing on the leather

Use wooden shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep-set creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Clarks Porto Lace shoes, it is important to follow proper maintenance procedures. Since these are leather shoes, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or moisture, which can damage the finish. Use a soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt daily. For minor scuffs, apply a high-quality black shoe cream and buff with a soft brush to restore the shine. Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to avoid rubbing; if the laces fray over time, they are easily replaceable with standard flat shoe laces.
