FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Clarks Funny Dream features a square toe design and a generous toe box, making them ideal for those who prefer extra width and room across the toes, enhancing overall comfort.
How do I clean the blue leather?
Wipe the smooth leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a reputable leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather. Always follow the product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes feature integrated Contoured Comfort and Cushion Plus technologies for optimal support. While the insoles are often part of this system, replacing them with aftermarket insoles might alter the intended comfort profile. If you require custom orthotics, consult with a foot specialist for advice.
Are these shoes good for standing all day?
Absolutely. With Cushion Plus, Cushion Soft, and a lightweight, flexible sole, these shoes are engineered to absorb impact and provide lasting comfort, making them an excellent choice for prolonged standing or walking.
What makes the design 'quirky'?
The 'quirky' design refers to the distinctive square toe shape, the unique short lacing system, and the overall iconic silhouette which sets it apart from more traditional shoe styles. It's a hallmark of the Funny Dream series.
Is this specific model only for women?
This particular variant (Clarks Funny Dream - Blue Leather - Size 4 UK) is described as 'womens navy comfort lacing shoes'. While the Funny Dream series might have other variants, this specific one is marketed for women.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the short laces for a more customized fit. The design is intended for comfort, so ensure laces are not overtightened or too slack. Consider wearing them for a short period to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot shape.
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish in a matching blue shade. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather repair cream can be used after cleaning.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear.
While designed for comfort, individual foot needs vary. Ensure you've chosen the correct size (this model is UK 4) and that the fit is snug but not constricting. If discomfort persists, consider using thin, supportive socks or consulting a foot specialist.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes new shoes can squeak, often due to friction between parts or on certain surfaces. Try sprinkling a little talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb any moisture causing friction. If the squeak persists, it might diminish with further wear.
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean.
Establish a routine of wiping down the leather after each wear with a damp cloth. Apply a leather protector spray regularly to repel water and stains, making subsequent cleaning easier.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather shoes.
- Cleaning: Wipe the smooth blue leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a good quality leather conditioner every few weeks or as needed. This helps to moisturize the leather and protect it from drying out.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray (suitable for smooth leather) to guard against water damage and stains. Reapply periodically, especially if frequently exposed to elements.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, which can cause the leather to fade or dry. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your leather shoes.
