FAQs
What is the best way to clean these Cream leather shoes?
For the leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner suitable for cream-colored leather to maintain its texture and color. Always avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Clarks Funny Dream are specifically designed for everyday comfort with a breathable leather sock and lining, making them well-suited for extended periods of wear.
How do I achieve the best fit with the lacing?
Thread the laces evenly through all eyelets. Start from the bottom and pull snugly, but not too tight, ensuring even tension across your foot. Adjust as needed to achieve a personalized and comfortable fit that supports your foot.
Is the sole non-slip?
The sole is made from grippy and flexible TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber), which is designed to provide good traction and stability for everyday walking on various common surfaces.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While leather offers some natural resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the leather's quality and appearance. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are there other colors or materials available for the Funny Dream style?
Yes, the Funny Dream collection is available in other colors and materials, such as Light Pink, Light Green, or Leopard Suede. Please check our product listings for available variants.
What does 'Patsy shoe silhouette' mean?
A 'Patsy shoe silhouette' typically refers to a low-profile, often lace-up, shoe design that sits low on the foot, offering a classic and often slightly retro aesthetic with clean lines.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are not overtightened; loosen them slightly. The full leather construction may require a short break-in period to soften and conform to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially to aid this process.
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the shoes gently with a damp cloth to remove any surface grime. Then, apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for cream-colored leather to restore its moisture and luster.
Laces frequently come undone
Practice a double knot when tying your laces for added security. Also, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and evenly through all the Clarks-branded eyelets to provide a consistent and secure hold.
Squeaking sound while walking
Sometimes new leather can cause squeaking. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole or inside the shoe to reduce friction. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris.

Care
Given the premium leather upper, lining, and footbed, proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your Clarks Funny Dream shoes.
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for cream-colored leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and maintain its natural luster. Always test conditioners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray, especially if you anticipate occasional exposure to light moisture, though avoiding heavy rain is always recommended.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
