Full details
The Clarks Hollyrose Zip trainers are designed for adult women seeking versatile, comfortable, and stylish casual footwear.

FAQs
What type of leather is used for the Hollyrose Zip trainers?
The trainers feature smooth leather for the upper, lining, and sock, providing a premium feel and breathability.
How do I adjust the fit of the trainers?
The fit can be adjusted using the laces. Loosen or tighten them as needed for a secure and comfortable feel. The zip provides easy entry but the laces ensure the final fit.
Are these trainers suitable for wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are primarily designed for dry or mildly damp conditions. They are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
What is the heel height of the Hollyrose Zip trainers?
The heel height is approximately 35mm, which is equivalent to up to 2.5 inches.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
The trainers feature a leather sock. Depending on the size and shape of your orthotic, you may be able to replace the existing sock liner, but this may affect the overall fit and comfort. It is recommended to try them on with your orthotics if possible.
How should I clean the cream-colored leather?
Use a slightly damp cloth for general dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. It's advisable to test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
What makes the Strobel construction beneficial?
Strobel construction involves stitching the upper directly to a lightweight fabric layer (in this case, the sole unit). This method allows for greater flexibility and a full range of motion in the foot.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping or unzipping
Ensure there is no fabric or debris caught in the zipper. If the zipper feels stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. Wear with appropriate socks. Leather can take time to mold to your foot; consider wearing them for short periods initially to break them in.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a good quality leather conditioner following the product instructions. This will restore moisture and suppleness to the leather.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. If a lack of grip persists, consider consulting a cobbler about applying grip-enhancing sole protectors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes. For stubborn marks on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions.
- Conditioning: Periodically, use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or use a hairdryer, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a protective spray suitable for leather to help repel water and stains, especially given the cream color.
