FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is designed for all-day comfort, making them suitable for extended wear during daily activities and moderate walking.
How do I clean the brown suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the TR sole made of?
TR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a durable material known for providing excellent traction and longevity.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the TR sole offers good traction, suede is not ideal for heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to protect the material. If they do get wet, dry them thoroughly away from heat.
Is there a way to adjust the fit of these slip-on shoes?
These are slip-on shoes, so they do not have laces or straps for adjustment. The fit relies on the shoe's shape and your foot size. Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable, snug fit.
What type of occasions are these shoes best suited for?
The Clarks Aldwin Step is best suited for casual occasions, everyday wear, running errands, and relaxed social gatherings. Their design offers a blend of comfort and smart-casual style.
How should I store my Aldwin Step shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag will protect the suede.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The Contour Cushion footbed may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, consider if the slip-on style is suitable for your foot shape.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean. For stubborn stains, try a suede eraser or a cleaning kit specifically designed for suede. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While the TR sole offers good traction, all footwear may have reduced grip on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is free from debris. Exercise caution when walking on wet or slippery conditions.
Shoe shape is distorted.
Avoid storing heavy items on top of the shoes. Use shoe trees or stuff them with paper when not in use to help maintain their shape. Ensure proper drying if they become wet.
