FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Clarks Pace trainers are specifically designed and scientifically backed for the performance activity of walking. While they offer comfort and support, they are not optimized for the higher impact and different mechanics of running.
Do I need to wear special socks with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and performance, especially with the advanced cushioning and secure fit, wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks is recommended. This helps manage temperature and prevent potential irritation.
How do the Infinity Energy Capsules work?
The Infinity Energy Capsules™ are embedded within the sole. They are engineered to compress under the pressure of your step and then rebound, releasing stored energy to help propel you forward with each stride.
What makes the C360 Foam™ different?
Clarks' C360 Foam™ is a dual-layer foam system designed to provide advanced cushioning. It works to reduce impact forces and offers a stable platform, contributing to a more comfortable and secure walking experience.
Can I use these trainers for everyday casual wear?
Yes, while optimized for walking performance, the comfort and cushioning make them suitable for general casual wear. However, their specialized design might feel different from typical casual shoes.
What is the primary benefit of the S-Curve Moulded Heel Counter?
The S-Curve Moulded Heel Counter is designed to provide a secure fit around the heel. Its specific shape helps to reduce pressure on the Achilles tendon during the heel strike, enhancing comfort during walking.
How long will the cushioning and energy return features last?
The longevity of these features depends on usage intensity and frequency. Like all footwear, the cushioning and energy return properties will naturally diminish over extended periods of wear. Regular care and avoiding excessive strain can help prolong their effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
While designed for instant comfort, some users may need a short period for the materials to fully adapt to their foot shape. Try wearing them around the house for short durations before longer walks.
Reduced energy return after prolonged use
The performance of the energy capsules and foam may gradually decrease over extended periods of heavy use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might impede sole function. Consider replacement if wear and tear are significant.
Discomfort around the Achilles
Although the S-Curve heel counter is designed to reduce pressure, ensure the laces are not tied too tightly around the ankle. Check that no debris has become lodged in the heel area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Clarks Pace trainers are designed for immediate use. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring you have the correct size. The internal design aims for a secure fit right away.
Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for the activity of walking. They are compatible with various walking surfaces, including paved paths, urban environments, and light trails. They are not specifically designed for high-impact sports like running or court sports.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Clarks Pace trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush.
- Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
