The Clarks Clarkwood Low Navy Nubuck shoes are crafted to deliver both comfort and style across various daily scenarios:
Everyday Wear: The Contour cushion footbed makes these shoes an excellent choice for daily use, whether you're running errands, commuting, or simply spending a casual day out. The light and flexible TR sole minimizes foot fatigue, allowing for prolonged wear without discomfort.
Smart-Casual Events: Their authentic nubuck leather upper and clean design allow them to pair seamlessly with chinos, dark jeans, corduroys, or even tailored shorts for lunches, relaxed office environments, or evening gatherings. The Navy color offers a sophisticated alternative to more traditional shoe shades.
Travel: The lightweight and comfortable design makes them a practical choice for travel. They provide ample support for walking and exploring new places while maintaining a polished appearance.
Seasonality: Best suited for dry conditions. While stylish, the nubuck finish is not inherently water-resistant and is not ideal for heavy rain or muddy environments. Applying a protective spray is recommended for enhanced durability in varied conditions.
Pair with rolled-up chinos and a button-down shirt for a relaxed yet refined look.
Combine with dark-wash jeans and a casual blazer for an elevated weekend outfit.
Wear with tailored shorts and a polo shirt for comfortable summer styling.
To ensure your Clarks Clarkwood Low shoes provide lasting comfort and maintain their sophisticated appearance, follow these guidelines:
Protection: Before the first wear, it is highly recommended to spray your Clarks Clarkwood Low shoes with a specialized nubuck protector spray. This will help guard against water and stains, preserving the material's integrity.
Lacing: Adjust the cotton laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are evenly tensioned across all eyelets to prevent pressure points and provide optimal support.
These shoes are designed for an adult male wardrobe and offer significant versatility:
They complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire, including jeans, chinos, corduroys, and various casual trousers.
The Navy Nubuck color provides a refined and modern alternative to traditional black or brown footwear, easily integrating into diverse color palettes.
Cleaning Nubuck: Nubuck requires specific care to retain its texture and color.
Brushing: Use a nubuck brush (often a brush with rubber bristles or a combination of wire and rubber) to gently remove dry dirt, dust, and scuffs. Brush in one direction to restore the material's natural nap.
Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a specialized nubuck eraser or a very slightly damp cloth (ensure it's almost dry) to blot, not rub, the affected area. Allow the shoe to air dry completely.
Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn stains or overall refreshment, consider using a nubuck cleaning solution specifically designed for this material. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole Care: The TR (Thermoplastic Rubber) sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the sole material.
Protection from Elements: Avoid wearing your nubuck shoes in heavy rain or excessively wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), then brush gently.
Storage: Store your Clarks Clarkwood Low shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases and odors.
