FAQs
What does 'H Fit' mean?
'H Fit' indicates that these shoes are designed with a wider width, providing more room and comfort for individuals with broader feet.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
The Clarks Cotrell Free is a casual shoe. While its leather construction offers a neat appearance, it is best suited for informal or smart-casual settings, not formal events.
How should I break in new leather shoes?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking on different surfaces can help break them in naturally. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper can be treated with a waterproofing spray for some protection. However, these are not waterproof boots and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
What is the heel height of the Cotrell Free?
The heel height is 40mm.
What materials are the upper, sock, and lining made from?
The upper is made of leather. The sock and lining are made of textile.
What type of sole does this shoe have?
The sole is made from EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), known for its lightweight, flexible, and cushioning properties.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite being wide fit.
Ensure the socks worn are not excessively thick. Leather may need a short break-in period to fully conform to the foot.
Leather scuff marks.
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, a leather repair crayon in a matching color might be necessary.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. Some synthetic soles may have reduced grip on very smooth or wet surfaces. Consider adding grip enhancers if this is a persistent issue.
Inside lining feels rough.
This is uncommon with textile linings. Ensure no debris is trapped inside. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
