FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Clarks Funny Dream in this variant comes in a standard 'D' width fitting. If you typically require a wider fit, these shoes might feel snug. We recommend trying them on to ensure comfort.
How do I clean the black leather?
To clean, gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.
Are the soles replaceable?
The lightweight curvy wedge soles are an integrated part of the shoe's design and are not designed for easy replacement by the user. For significant sole wear, a professional cobbler might be able to assist, but it's not a standard feature.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
These shoes are versatile. You can wear them with thin or medium-thickness socks depending on personal preference and weather. Moisture-wicking socks can enhance comfort during extended wear.
Will the leather stretch over time?
Yes, as these shoes are made from full-grain leather, they will naturally soften and may stretch slightly over time and with wear, conforming better to the shape of your foot. This process contributes to personalized comfort.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, the Clarks Funny Dream features lightweight curvy wedge soles, specifically designed to provide comfort without adding excessive weight, making them suitable for all-day wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure you are tying a double knot (surgeon's knot) for extra security. Also, check that the laces are fed correctly through all eyelets without excessive slack.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after wearing for a short period.
Verify you have the correct 'D' width fitting for your foot. Leather shoes can take some time to break in; wear them for shorter periods initially, or consider using a shoe stretcher if discomfort persists in a specific area. Ensure socks are not too thick.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the shoes thoroughly and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Polish with a soft cloth to restore shine and nourish the leather.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur if moisture is trapped between the insole and outsole. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole if it's removable. If not, the squeak might be from the leather upper and should diminish with wear.
Developing an odor.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odors. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
