FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
The sandals are made of leather and are water-resistant but not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.
Can I replace the footbed?
No, the high-rebound foam inlay is built into the sandal and is not designed to be removed or replaced.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or shoe polishes that could affect the finish of the leather.
Do these sandals run true to size?
Clarks generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since these are open-toed sandals, a snug fit is recommended for optimal support.
Can I wear these for hiking?
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, these are designed as sports-casual sandals for urban and paved environments rather than technical hiking trails.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels tight during the first wear
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape over time. Wear them with socks indoors for short periods to gently stretch the material.
Slippage on smooth surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for debris or dust buildup; wipe the soles with a damp cloth to restore original traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clarks April Cove sandals maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While the sandals are comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter periods during the first few days to allow the leather to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the sandals in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or the foam inlay from degrading.
- Compatibility: These sandals feature a fixed footbed design; avoid inserting additional insoles as this will alter the ergonomic benefits of the Cushion Plus system.
