FAQs
How do I clean the silver suede upper?
To clean the suede, first remove loose dirt with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Are these sneakers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Nalle Zen is designed with a Contour Cushion footbed and padded ankle toplines specifically to provide superior comfort and support, making them ideal for extended periods of wear.
What type of closure do these shoes have?
These sneakers feature a dual closure system, combining traditional laces for a customizable fit with a convenient side zip for easy on and off access.
What is the heel height of the Nalle Zen?
The Nalle Zen sneaker has a heel height of 20mm, offering a subtle lift.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
Due to the suede material, it is generally recommended to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as suede can be prone to water damage and staining. Applying a water-repellent spray for suede can offer some protection.
Do Nalle Zen sneakers run true to size?
Clarks footwear typically runs true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit, but individual foot shapes can vary.
Troubleshooting
Suede/nubuck appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the entire surface with a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a recommended suede cleaner sparingly, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the laces to achieve your desired level of tightness. The side zip is for convenience, but the laces primarily control the overall fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if needed for comfort.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
While the Contour Cushion footbed provides excellent support, ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider checking if your lacing is too tight or too loose, or consult a foot specialist if pain continues.
Slipping on certain surfaces
The rubber sole is designed for grip. Ensure the sole is clean of any debris or mud that might reduce traction. If the issue persists on specific surfaces, exercise caution.

Fitting and Initial Wear
- Adjust Laces: Upon first wear, loosen the laces to allow your foot to slide in comfortably. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit across the top of your foot. The laces are key for a customized fit.
- Utilize Side Zip: The side zip is designed for ease of use. Once your laces are set, you can primarily use the zip for quick on and off, preserving your preferred lace tension.
- Break-In Period: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period may further mould the Contour Cushion footbed to your unique foot shape, enhancing long-term comfort.
Care Instructions for Suede/Nubuck
The soft suede and nubuck upper of your Nalle Zen sneakers requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to restore the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a damp, clean cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and nubuck before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps protect against moisture and spills.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the suede. Once dry, brush gently to restore the nap.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
