FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the authentic leather offers some natural resistance, the Clarks Craft Swift is not waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable waterproof and stain-resistant spray designed for nubuck/leather to provide better protection against moisture.
How should I clean the nubuck upper?
For light dirt, use a dry nubuck brush to gently buff the surface. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid using water or harsh detergents directly on nubuck.
What is a Contour cushion footbed?
The Contour cushion footbed is an advanced cushioning technology designed by Clarks to provide enhanced arch support, heel stability, and overall comfort, molding to the shape of your foot for personalized support and shock absorption.
Can I use these shoes for running or sports?
No, the Clarks Craft Swift is designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact activities like running or sports. Its flexible sole and cushioning are optimized for walking and general daily use.
How long does the break-in period usually last?
While many find these shoes comfortable from the start, a short break-in period of a few days to a week of regular wear can help the leather and footbed conform perfectly to your foot shape, maximizing comfort and fit.
Are replacement laces available?
Info needed: Please contact Clarks customer service or a local shoe repair shop for information on replacement laces that match the authentic cotton lacing.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time.
Allow for a break-in period. The Contour cushion footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.
The nubuck material looks dull or has developed marks.
Use a dedicated nubuck brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper marks or stains, consider a specialized nubuck cleaner following the product's instructions.
The shoes squeak when I walk.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole and allowing both the insole and shoe interior to air dry completely. If the squeaking persists, gently apply a small amount of baby powder under the insole.
The laces come untied frequently.
Ensure you are using a secure knot. Double-knotting can provide extra security. While cotton laces are durable, wear and tear can occur over time. Replacement laces can be found at shoe repair shops.

Care
Due to the nubuck leather upper, specific care is recommended to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning: For dust and light dirt, use a specialized nubuck brush to gently buff the surface. For deeper stains, a nubuck cleaner or mild leather cleaner formulated for nubuck can be used, following the product's instructions.
- Protection: Apply a waterproof and stain-resistant spray designed for nubuck or leather before initial wear and periodically thereafter to protect against water damage and spills.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
