Clarks Pace - Black - UK 11

The Clarks Pace shoes are specifically engineered and scientifically backed for the performance activity of *walking*. While they offer excellent cushioning and energy return, their design is optimized for walking mechanics, not high-impact running.

These capsules are embedded in the sole and function by compressing when your foot strikes the ground, absorbing impact. They then rebound, releasing that energy to propel you forward with each step, maximizing momentum during your walk.

No, the Clarks Pace is designed for instant comfort right out of the shoe box. The S-curve moulded heel counter provides a secure fit and reduces pressure on the Achilles, meaning no break-in period is needed.

Thanks to the unique C-tread rubber outsole, these shoes offer maximum traction and grip on all surfaces. They are suitable for various terrains encountered during walking, from pavement and concrete to park paths and light trails.

For the woven black fabric (Polyester) upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Information regarding specific waterproofing or water resistance is not provided. The woven fabric upper promotes circulation, suggesting it's not primarily designed for heavy wet conditions. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water.

Ensure the shoe size is correct and lacing is not too tight or too loose. While designed for comfort, individual foot shape can influence fit. Consider using specialized walking socks. If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist.

Check the C-tread rubber outsole for any dirt, mud, or small stones lodged in the grooves. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water. If the sole appears worn smooth, it may be time to consider replacement for optimal safety.

Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each use, preferably in a well-ventilated area. Remove insoles if possible to aid drying. Consider using shoe deodorizers or natural odor absorbers like baking soda in socks placed inside the shoes overnight.
