FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for Clarks Funny Dream shoes?
Clarks shoes typically run true to UK sizing. We recommend trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure the most comfortable fit. For online purchases, refer to Clarks' official size guide and consider measuring your foot length.
Are these shoes suitable for all-weather wear?
Due to the nubuck material, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Nubuck can be susceptible to water damage and staining. We highly recommend treating them with a waterproof nubuck protector spray for enhanced resistance to light moisture.
What is the difference between 'Cushion Plus' and 'Cushion Soft'?
Cushion Plus is an intelligent underfoot cushioning system that strategically places padding to reduce strain. Cushion Soft refers to a high-rebound foam inlay that delivers immediate and lasting comfort, absorbing impact with every step.
Can I use regular leather cleaner on the nubuck upper?
No, regular leather cleaners and polishes are not suitable for nubuck. They can damage the delicate nap and alter the material's texture. Always use products specifically designed for nubuck or suede.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles in Clarks Funny Dream shoes are generally integrated for optimal comfort and support from the contoured comfort technology. While some may be able to be carefully removed, they are not typically designed for easy replacement with custom orthotics without potentially impacting the original fit and feel.
How do I break in new Funny Dream shoes?
These shoes are designed for comfort right out of the box, but a short break-in period can help them fully mold to your feet. Wear them for increasing durations over a few days for optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck appears matted or dirty
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, apply a nubuck cleaning solution as directed, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Leather and nubuck can take a few wears to mold to your foot shape; try wearing them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, verify the size and fit with a professional.
Squeaking sound when walking
The squeak often comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole.
Stains on nubuck material
For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a nubuck eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized nubuck cleaner. Always test in a hidden area first.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
While Clarks' cushioning is designed for longevity, prolonged heavy use can cause some compression. Ensure you are allowing the shoes to air out and rest between wears. Consider replacing insoles if removable.

Care & Maintenance
Taking proper care of your nubuck shoes will extend their lifespan and maintain their appearance. Nubuck requires different care than smooth leather.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, treat your nubuck shoes with a high-quality nubuck protector spray. This helps repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a nubuck brush (often a rubber or crepe brush) to gently brush away dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the material.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks or minor stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner or eraser. Apply sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water: Nubuck can stain easily when wet. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Polishes: Do not use standard shoe polish or creams meant for smooth leather, as these will damage the nubuck texture.
