Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care### Initial SetupYour Clarks Clarkwood Low shoes come ready to wear. Simply unlace them, slip your feet in, and adjust the cotton laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Take a few steps to ensure the fit is correct before heading out.### CompatibilityThese shoes are designed for casual and smart-casual attire. They pair exceptionally well with denim, chinos, linen trousers, and shorts. Their refined nubuck finish makes them suitable for relaxed office settings, weekend brunches, or evening social events.### Care & MaintenanceTo ensure your Clarks Clarkwood Low shoes remain in excellent condition, follow these guidelines:1. Nubuck Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a specialized nubuck brush to gently buff the surface. For stains, use a nubuck-specific cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.2. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede before initial wear and reapply periodically. This helps protect against moisture and spills.3. Leather Care: For any leather components, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning and a suitable leather conditioner sparingly to keep the leather supple.4. Lacing Care: If the cotton laces become dirty, they can be carefully hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried. Replace them if they show signs of wear and tear.5. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the nubuck.6. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture from the inside, extending their lifespan.
