FAQs

How do I clean the black leather on these shoes?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Afterwards, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and a black polish to maintain its finish.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Clarks Funny Dream shoes come in a standard D width fitting. They may not be suitable for individuals who typically require a wide-fit shoe.

What is the heel height of these shoes?

These shoes feature a 30mm heel height, provided by the lightweight curvy wedge sole.

What material is the outsole made from?

The outsole is made from grippy and flexible TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber), designed for good traction and durability.

Are these shoes good for all-day wear?

Yes, their lightweight curvy wedge sole and breathable leather sock and lining are designed to provide everyday comfort, making them suitable for extended wear.

Is there a break-in period for the leather?

Like most quality leather footwear, these shoes may require a short break-in period for the leather to soften and conform perfectly to the shape of your feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly. Leather shoes often require a short break-in period to mold to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size and width, as these are a standard D fitting.

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner. For scuffs, use a black leather polish to restore the finish.

Soles feel slippery.

Clean the TPR outsole with a brush and water to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure they are fully dry before wearing.

Laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces.

Cons

  • Leather Maintenance: Requires regular care to maintain the leather's appearance and condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply unbox and wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug yet comfortable fit.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed with a standard D width fitting. This means they are best suited for individuals with average foot width. If you typically require narrow or wide fit footwear, these may not provide the optimal comfort. They are specifically for adult females, based on product attributes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
  2. Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent drying or cracking, apply a quality leather conditioner every few weeks or as needed.
  3. Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs on the leather upper.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
