Their hardwearing leather upper ensures they stand up to the rigors of daily use, making them a reliable choice for your work week or frequent events.

The black leather finish makes them highly adaptable, pairing effortlessly with suits, tailored trousers, or dark wash jeans and a smart shirt. The Glastonbury Tor debossed logo adds a subtle touch of Clarks' heritage, perfect for those who appreciate understated brand details.
Setup:
Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
Initial Try-On: Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure a comfortable fit with adequate room for your toes.
Break-in Period: Like most quality leather shoes, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape. Wear them for shorter periods initially.
Compatibility:
Attire: Perfectly compatible with formal office wear (suits, dress trousers), smart-casual outfits (chinos, tailored jeans, blazers), and special event attire.
Occasions: Ideal for business meetings, corporate events, weddings, formal dinners, and smart weekend outings.
Care:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner following product instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., monthly, or as needed based on wear) to keep the leather supple, prevent drying and cracking, and maintain its luster.
Polishing: Use black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a cloth, let it dry, then buff to a shine with a clean brush or cloth.
Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray designed for leather to guard against the elements. Reapply as directed by the product.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
Avoid Excessive Moisture: While hardwearing, leather is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
