FAQs
How do I best clean the leopard print suede?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always use a suede protector spray before wearing to help repel water and stains. Avoid water or harsh cleaning agents directly on the suede.
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks generally have consistent sizing. It's recommended to order your usual UK shoe size. The lacing system allows for some adjustability to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Due to the suede material, these shoes are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be damaged and stained by water. A suede protector spray can offer some minor resistance but will not make them waterproof.
What does 'TPR outsole' mean for the shoe's performance?
TPR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a material known for being lightweight, flexible, and having good grip (traction). This ensures your shoes are comfortable for walking, offer good stability, and are durable against everyday wear.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the lightweight curvy wedge soles and breathable leather sock and lining are designed for comfort, making them suitable for all-day wear in casual settings.
What kind of outfits do these shoes complement?
The distinctive leopard print and casual design make them ideal for enhancing everyday outfits. They pair well with jeans, chinos, casual skirts, and simple dresses, adding a touch of unique style.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or cleaner is recommended. Always brush in one direction.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. The chunky Clarks-branded eyelet lacing allows for adjustment; try loosening or tightening the laces for a more comfortable fit. The leather lining will mold slightly over time.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
While the TPR outsole is grippy, certain extremely smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. If the sole appears worn down significantly over time, consider if replacement is necessary for safety.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe
Ensure the shoes air out between wears. The breathable leather sock and lining help, but for persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing).

Suede Care Instructions:
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can lift scuffs. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then allow to air dry before brushing.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Avoid: Do not use water or harsh chemicals directly on the suede as this can damage the material and print. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or snow.
Internal Care: The breathable leather sock and lining can be wiped gently with a damp cloth if needed.
