Extended Product Information

The Clarks Mapstone Lo Gtx is engineered for daily wear across various environments. Its Gore-Tex technology is a standout feature, ensuring your feet remain dry during unexpected rain showers or walks through damp conditions, while also allowing internal moisture to escape, preventing overheating. The responsibly sourced leather upper not only contributes to the shoe's sophisticated aesthetic but also offers flexibility that molds to your foot over time, enhancing comfort with each wear. The adjustable lace fastening is crucial for achieving a personalized, snug fit, preventing foot slippage and providing support during active periods. Whether you're navigating city streets, commuting, or enjoying a casual stroll, the durable grippy rubber outsole offers confident traction, reducing the risk of slips on diverse surfaces. The internal sheepskin sock and lining combined with the padded heel tab guarantee all-day comfort, making these shoes ideal for those who spend extended periods on their feet.

Setup: Getting the Right Fit 1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes fully and insert your foot. 2. Adjust Tightness: Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, gradually tightening as you move up, ensuring a snug but not restrictive fit. The adjustable laces are key to a secure fit. 3. Heel and Toe Space: Ensure your heel is comfortably seated against the padded heel tab and you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. ## Compatibility: Designed for Standard Wear These shoes feature a G - Standard Fit, making them compatible with most foot shapes that fall within a typical width range. They are suitable for adult males seeking a reliable and comfortable everyday shoe. ## Care and Maintenance To ensure the longevity and performance of your Clarks Mapstone Lo Gtx shoes, follow these care instructions: 1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: - Regularly wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. - For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for smooth leather. Follow the product instructions carefully. - Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. - Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as these can damage the leather and Gore-Tex membrane. 2. Gore-Tex Care: - The Gore-Tex membrane requires minimal special care beyond keeping the exterior clean. Avoid using waxes or oils on the leather, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce breathability. 3. Drying: - If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause leather to crack or shrink. 4. Storage: - Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. 5. Outsole Maintenance: - Periodically check the rubber outsole for embedded debris and clean as needed to maintain optimal grip.
