FAQs

How do I determine my correct size for Clarks Funny Dream shoes?

Clarks shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend using a Brannock device or referring to the official Clarks sizing chart available online to measure your foot accurately. Always consider the UK sizing specified for this model.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Funny Dream series typically offers a standard fit. While the lacing allows for some adjustability, if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the fit snug. Info needed: Check if Clarks offers width options for this specific model.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

These shoes are made of leather and are not designed to be waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and condition the leather afterward.

What is a TPR sole?

TPR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It is a durable, flexible, and lightweight material commonly used for shoe soles. It offers good grip, shock absorption, and resistance to abrasion, contributing to the shoe's comfort and longevity.

Do I need to break in these shoes?

While the leather is soft, it's common for new leather shoes to require a short break-in period to fully adapt to the shape of your foot. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time until they feel perfectly comfortable.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on how often you wear the shoes and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general rule, conditioning every 1-2 months, or whenever the leather starts to look dry, will help maintain its suppleness and appearance.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing carefully. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across your foot. If discomfort persists, re-check your size using a Brannock device or consult a Clarks sizing guide, as a different size may be needed.

The leather looks dull or dry.

Clean the shoes thoroughly with a soft cloth and a gentle leather cleaner. Once dry, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. This will nourish the leather and restore its natural sheen.

My shoes are squeaking when I walk.

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new shoes or if moisture gets trapped. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole if it's removable. If the sole itself is squeaking, ensure it is completely dry and clean. Sometimes, a new shoe just needs to be 'broken in'.

Setup and First Use 1. Lacing: Upon receiving your shoes, unlace them slightly and slide your foot in. 2. Adjust Fit: Tighten the laces evenly, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit around your foot without being too restrictive. There should be enough room for your toes to wiggle. 3. Walk Test: Walk a few steps to assess the fit and comfort. Adjust the laces as needed. ### Compatibility These shoes, with their classic cream leather and low-profile design, are highly versatile. They pair beautifully with: - Casual Wear: Jeans, chinos, skirts, and dresses for a relaxed yet put-together look. - Workwear (Casual): Can be styled with tailored trousers or smart-casual dresses for environments with a relaxed dress code. - Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for spring, summer, and autumn wear. ### Care and Maintenance To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks Funny Dream leather shoes, follow these care instructions: 1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. 2. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully. 3. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., once a month or as needed) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. 4. Water Protection: Leather is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. 5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. 6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the leather.
