FAQs
Are the Clarks Nalle Zen sneakers true to size?
Clarks shoes are generally designed to fit true to size. It is recommended to select your usual UK shoe size for the Nalle Zen sneakers.
How do I best clean the metallic nubuck and suede upper?
For light dirt, use a soft, dry brush specifically designed for nubuck and suede. For deeper cleaning, a specialized cleaning kit for these materials is recommended, followed by a protective spray.
Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?
While the rubber sole offers good grip, the nubuck and suede upper are not inherently waterproof. To protect them from light moisture, it is advisable to apply a water-resistant protective spray designed for these materials.
What is the heel height of the Nalle Zen sneaker?
The Nalle Zen sneaker features a comfortable heel height of 20mm.
Are the insoles removable for custom orthotics?
The Contour Cushion footbed is a molded, integrated feature designed to provide specific support and comfort. It is generally not intended to be removed.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The laces and side zip allow for some degree of adjustability to accommodate various foot shapes. However, Clarks does not specifically list these as a wide-fit option. For specific concerns, it's best to try them on.
Troubleshooting
Side zip feels stiff or difficult to operate.
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like silicone spray) or rub a graphite pencil lead along the teeth of the zipper. Operate the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant.
Foot discomfort or rubbing, especially around the ankle.
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a secure yet not overly tight fit. The padded toplines are designed for comfort, but a break-in period might be needed for new shoes. Wear with appropriate socks.
Metallic nubuck/suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized nubuck and suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated nubuck/suede cleaner following the product's instructions. A protective spray can prevent future dullness.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new soles. Try dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of cornstarch or baby powder to absorb moisture. Wearing the shoes more frequently should also help break them in and reduce squeaking.

Care Instructions
To ensure your Nalle Zen sneakers maintain their appearance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe down the nubuck and suede. For deeper cleaning, specialized nubuck and suede cleaning kits are recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protecting the Material: As the upper features nubuck and suede, it's advisable to apply a protective spray designed for these materials. This helps repel water and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
- Leather Care: For any leather sections, wipe gently with a damp cloth. If the leather appears dry, a small amount of leather conditioner can be applied, following the product instructions.
- Zipper Maintenance: If the side zip feels stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or rub a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your Nalle Zen sneakers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
