To maintain the appearance and extend the lifespan of your Clarks Tapa Pure Y shoes:
Cleaning: Info needed: Specific care instructions for patent leather vs. supple leather. Generally, for supple leather, wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and use appropriate leather cleaner/conditioner. For patent leather, a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient to restore shine and remove marks.
Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), to prevent leather damage or cracking.
Odour Control: The Microban® lining helps maintain freshness. For continued optimal performance, allow shoes to air out between wears, especially after active days.
Protection: Consider using a suitable leather protector spray or cream, especially for supple leather, to help repel water and stains and maintain the leather's quality.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Stuffing with newspaper can help maintain their shape if stored for extended periods.
