FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the Krystine May pumps are designed with a low block heel and a Moulded Contour Cushion footbed to provide excellent support and comfort, making them highly suitable for all-day wear in office or professional settings.

How do I determine my size?

We recommend referring to the Clarks official sizing guide available on our website. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size first, especially with new leather shoes that may require a slight break-in period.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray to offer some resistance against light moisture. Avoid heavy rain or submerging them in water, as this can damage the leather and shape.

What is the heel height of these pumps?

The Krystine May pump features a comfortable and stable 25mm (approximately 1 inch) low block heel.

How do I care for the different leather types (matte and patent)?

For matte leather, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning and a black leather conditioner/polish. For patent leather, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe clean and buff with a dry, soft cloth for shine. Avoid using conditioners on patent leather unless specified.

Is the insole removable?

The Moulded Contour Cushion footbed is integrated into the shoe's design for optimal support and is not designed to be removable. It provides custom comfort and support without the need for additional inserts.

Info needed: What is the warranty on these shoes?

Info needed: Please refer to the specific warranty information provided at the point of purchase or on the official Clarks website for details regarding product guarantees and returns.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods around the house. For persistent tightness, consider using a shoe stretcher or taking them to a professional cobbler for stretching.

Squeaking sound when walking

A common cause is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole. If the squeak persists and comes from the sole, a professional repair might be needed.

Leather appears dull or scuffed

For matte leather, clean with a damp cloth, then apply a black leather polish. For patent leather, wipe with a damp cloth and buff with a soft, dry cloth to restore shine. Use a dedicated patent leather cleaner for stubborn marks.

Sole appears worn or detached

While the TPR outsole is durable, extensive wear can cause issues. For minor wear, a shoe repair adhesive might work. For significant damage or detachment, consult a professional cobbler for repair to ensure the longevity of the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Krystine May pumps require no complex setup. Simply unbox them and they are ready to wear. For the best fit, ensure you try them on with the type of hosiery or socks you typically wear with dress shoes.

Compatibility

These classic black leather pumps are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of wardrobe choices:

  • Professional Wear: Ideal with tailored suits, pencil skirts, dress trousers, and blouses.
  • Business Casual: Pairs well with smart casual dresses, chinos, or dark-wash jeans.
  • Semi-Formal Attire: Complements cocktail dresses or elegant separates for evening events.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine appearance of your leather shoes:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe the matte leather surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the patent leather toe cap, a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry polish with a soft cloth will restore its shine.
  2. Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather conditioner suitable for black leather every few months to keep the matte leather supple and prevent cracking. Avoid conditioners on patent leather unless specifically designed for it.
  3. Polishing: Apply a black shoe polish specifically for matte leather to maintain color and shine on the main body of the shoe. For the patent leather, a patent leather cleaner and shiner can be used.
  4. Protection: Apply a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before initial wear.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in their original dust bag or a breathable fabric bag to prevent dust accumulation and scratches.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
