FAQs

What is the main inspiration for the Cleyhill Seam?

The Cleyhill Seam is inspired by the classic and iconic Clarks Originals Wallabee™ silhouette, incorporating its minimalist lines and traditional lace fastening.

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

These are best described as dress-casual. While versatile, their suede material and distinctive outsole make them more appropriate for smart-casual settings rather than formal events.

How should I clean the beige suede?

Regularly use a suede brush to maintain the texture. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended for minor marks. Always protect the suede with a suitable spray.

What makes the outsole unique?

The shoes feature a distinctive XL Extralight® outsole, which provides a modern aesthetic and contributes to the overall lightweight comfort of the shoe.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in prolonged wet weather to protect the suede.

What kind of socks are best with these shoes?

Thin to medium-weight socks are generally recommended to ensure a comfortable fit. For added comfort or to prevent rubbing, consider wearing them with dress socks or casual crew socks depending on your outfit.

What other colors or materials are available for the Cleyhill Seam?

The Cleyhill Seam is available in various colors and materials, including different shades of brown and beige, and may feature both leather and suede options, as well as boot styles.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

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

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, try using a suede eraser or brush. Consider a professional cleaning for persistent stains.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Thicker socks can sometimes help alleviate rubbing points.

Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The XL Extralight® outsole provides grip, but like all footwear, performance can vary on highly polished or wet surfaces. Consider a professional resoling with a different compound if this is a persistent issue in specific environments.
