Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clarks Newford Lace shoes last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort level. Avoid overtightening as the leather will naturally soften and stretch slightly over the first few wears.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For tougher marks, use a leather-specific cleaner and a soft brush.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially in dry climates.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade or dry out the leather. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the derby silhouette.
