FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is crafted from butter-soft navy leather, offering both comfort and a premium aesthetic.
How do I clean my Clarks Tivoli Zip sneakers?
For cleaning, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth for dust. For marks, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner designed for navy leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these sneakers suitable for all seasons?
The Tivoli Zip is designed as a versatile everyday trainer, particularly well-suited for spring and summer due to its lightweight and flexible construction. While it can be worn in milder autumn weather, it's not designed for extreme cold or heavy rain.
Is the footbed removable?
The pillow-top Contour Cushion footbed is integrated into the design to provide optimal comfort and support. It is not designed to be easily removed or replaced.
What type of activities are these shoes best for?
These sneakers are ideal for casual everyday wear, light walking, city exploration, running errands, and casual social gatherings. They are not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic activities.
Are these true to size?
Clarks generally runs true to UK sizing. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The butter-soft leather will conform to your foot over time.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel a bit stiff initially.
While the leather is butter-soft, a short break-in period may still be beneficial. Wear them for short durations around the house for the first few days to allow the leather to fully conform to your foot.
The side zip feels a bit sticky or hard to move.
Occasionally, zippers can become stiff. Rub a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant along the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down a few times to distribute the lubricant.
I've noticed scuff marks on the leather.
For light scuffs, you can often buff them out gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair cream or polish in a matching navy color can help restore the appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
My feet feel warm or sweaty after prolonged wear.
Although the leather sock enhances freshness, prolonged wear, especially in warmer weather, can cause this. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. You can also use a foot powder before wearing to help absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Clarks Tivoli Zip sneakers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Gently wipe dirt or dust off the leather with a soft, dry cloth.
- For tougher marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner, specifically designed for navy leather, following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the leather.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause cracking.
- Odor Control: The leather sock helps with freshness. For additional odor control, you can use shoe deodorizers or allow them to air out after wear.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
