FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

While they provide excellent support for office wear, they are primarily dress shoes and are not designed for long-distance athletic walking.

Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?

Yes, the Craft Emile features a fully removable moulded EVA footbed, making it highly compatible with most aftermarket orthotic inserts.

How do I maintain the leather finish?

Use a quality leather cleaner and polish periodically. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the leather in water.

What size should I choose?

The Craft Emile fits standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a 6.5 in dress shoes, that size should provide the correct fit.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather is durable, but these are not waterproof shoes. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray if you live in a rainy climate.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first wear

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them with thicker socks for short durations at home to help the leather stretch gradually.

Footbed feels worn or flattened

The EVA footbed is fully removable. Replace it with a new standard insole or a third-party orthotic for continued support.

Scuffs appearing on the leather

Apply a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the original finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Clarks Craft Emile shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods indoors during the first week to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Use a high-quality leather cream or polish occasionally to maintain the shine and prevent cracking.
  3. Footbed Maintenance: Periodically remove the EVA footbed to air it out, which helps manage moisture and keeps the interior fresh.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or warping.
  5. Customization: Because the footbed is removable, you can easily swap it for specialized orthotic insoles if required.
