FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Clarks Funny Dream shoes feature 'Contoured Comfort' and 'Cushion Plus' technologies with a padded footbed and lightweight sole, making them designed for supreme softness and lasting comfort throughout the day.
How do I best clean the blue nubuck material?
Gently brush the nubuck with a dedicated nubuck brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a nubuck eraser or specialized cleaner. It's also recommended to apply a nubuck protector spray to guard against water and stains.
Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, the nubuck material is known for its breathable feel, contributing to overall foot comfort by allowing air circulation.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Nubuck is not inherently waterproof. It's highly recommended to treat the shoes with a water and stain protector specifically designed for nubuck before wearing them in wet conditions. Avoid heavy rain.
Is the sizing standard?
Clarks typically runs true to size. This specific pair is a UK size 4. If you have concerns, refer to Clarks' official sizing guide or try them on to ensure the best fit.
What kind of support do these shoes offer?
These shoes are powered by 'Contoured Comfort' technology, providing targeted support where it is needed most, combined with 'Cushion Plus' for impact absorption and a padded footbed for overall foot comfort.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck appears dull or flattened.
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently restore the nap and velvety texture. Brush in small, consistent strokes.
Shoes feel a bit snug initially.
The padded footbed and leather upper will conform to your foot over a short break-in period. Wear them for brief periods at first, gradually increasing wear time.
Stains appear on the nubuck.
For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a nubuck eraser or a dedicated nubuck cleaning product, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes happen as components settle. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, check if it's the sole or an internal component.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
- Lace Up: Adjust the short laces for a snug, comfortable fit.
- Break-In: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet, especially around the apron stitch and padded footbed.
Compatibility
- Attire: Best suited for casual and smart-casual outfits. Pairs well with denim, corduroys, casual trousers, or relaxed dresses.
- Environment: Ideal for everyday wear, light walking, and social activities. Not recommended for strenuous athletic activities or heavy-duty work.
Care Instructions
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush the nubuck surface with a dedicated nubuck brush to remove dust and dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Stain Removal: For small stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner or a slightly damp cloth (ensure it's not too wet). Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Water Protection: Apply a nubuck protector spray before first wear and reapply periodically to guard against water damage and stains.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight) to prevent cracking or hardening of the nubuck.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape if desired.
