FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Clarks shoes generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size for the best fit. These are a Standard Fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While a suede protector can offer some resistance to light moisture, suede is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain and wet conditions to prevent water damage and staining.

How do I clean the ribbed outsole?

The bold rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush, like an old toothbrush, can help remove dirt from the distinctive grooves and ensure grip is maintained.

What is the 'Big Gripper profile'?

The 'Big Gripper profile' refers to the unique, bold ribbed design of the outsole. It's inspired by archive Clarks styles from the 1990s, known for their distinctive look and reliable traction.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

These shoes are described as 'Standard Fit.' If you typically require a wide fit, you might find them snug. We recommend trying them on to ensure comfort if you have wider feet.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

These shoes are versatile; they pair well with various socks, from no-show socks for a streamlined look to patterned crew socks for a pop of style, depending on your outfit and personal preference.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap in one direction, restoring its texture.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Wear them for short periods at first to break them in, allowing the premium suede to mold to your foot for optimal comfort.

Water stains on suede.

If fresh, blot immediately with a clean cloth. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, then brush to restore the nap.

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure a double knot is tied securely. If the problem persists, consider replacing the laces with a different material or texture for better grip.

Care and Maintenance:

  3. Stains: For more stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
