FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Clarks shoes are generally designed to fit true to standard UK sizing. However, individual foot shapes vary. If you are between sizes or unsure, it's recommended to consult a sizing guide or try them on.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather upper offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. For protection in wet conditions, it's advised to treat them with a water-resistant leather protector spray and allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on how often you wear the shoes and the environmental conditions. As a general rule, conditioning every 1-3 months, or when the leather appears dry or loses its suppleness, is a good practice.

Are the insoles removable?

The Cushion Soft inlay is cleverly concealed inside the shoe and is not designed to be easily removed. It is integrated into the shoe's design for optimal comfort and support.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

The choice of socks is largely personal preference. Cotton or wool socks are generally comfortable and breathable. Due to the square toe design, you have ample room for various sock thicknesses.

Is the 'quirky' design adjustable?

The 'quirky' design refers to the shoe's overall aesthetic, including its silhouette, lacing style, and sole. This design is integral to the Funny Dream style and is not adjustable.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods around the house before extended use. The leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a quality leather conditioner to moisturize and restore the leather's natural luster. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.

Laces come undone frequently

Try a double knot, or consider using a different lacing technique for a more secure fit. Ensure the laces are not worn out and providing enough friction.

Foot discomfort despite cushioning

While highly cushioned, ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. An ill-fitting shoe can negate cushioning benefits. Also, consider the type of socks you are wearing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior All-Day Comfort: Advanced cushioning technologies ensure lasting comfort, even with extended wear.
  • Foot-Friendly Design: The square toe box accommodates a wider foot, preventing pressure and discomfort.
  • Durable Leather Construction: High-quality leather provides longevity and can be maintained for years.
  • Unique & Stylish Aesthetic: Offers a distinctive look that adds character to casual outfits.
  • Lightweight Flexibility: Allows for natural movement without feeling bulky or restrictive.

Cons

  • Distinctive Style: The 'quirky' design may not appeal to all fashion tastes.
  • Leather Care Required: Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and conditioning, is necessary to preserve the leather.
  • Casual Focus: Primarily designed for casual wear; less suitable for formal or athletic activities.
  • Lace-Up Closure: Requires manual lacing, which some users might find less convenient than slip-on styles.

Setup

Your Clarks Funny Dream shoes come ready to wear. Simply adjust the short laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement throughout the day.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for casual and everyday wear. Their distinctive blue leather and unique style pair well with a variety of casual outfits, including jeans, chinos, skirts, and dresses. They are best suited for environments where comfort and a relaxed aesthetic are appropriate.

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Clarks Funny Dream blue leather shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly according to the product instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and to prevent drying and cracking. This helps to restore moisture and maintain its natural sheen.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions. Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
