Product Information
Full details
The Clarks Lockford Easy Shoes in Blue (Size 8) are designed for adult men seeking a laid-back, comfortable, and stylish slip-on shoe for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the premium leather construction combined with a signature moulded footbed for all-day support. A potential caveat is that while they offer a classic lace fastening for a secure fit, they are fundamentally a slip-on design, which might not suit those requiring a very dynamic or athletic shoe.

FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
These shoes are designed for casual wear and can be worn with various types of socks, including no-show socks for a cleaner look, or casual cotton or wool socks depending on the weather and outfit.
Can I wear these shoes for walking long distances?
The moulded Contour Cushion footbed offers good support for everyday wear and moderate walking. However, they are primarily casual shoes and may not provide the specialized cushioning or support required for very long-distance or athletic walking.
How do I clean the navy leather?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it gently according to the product's instructions.
Is the lace fastening adjustable?
Yes, the classic lace fastening allows you to adjust the tightness for a secure and personalized fit.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 2 cm.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product information does not state that these shoes are waterproof. Leather can be treated to offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide excellent grip.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, and use the lace fastening to adjust the fit. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists after several wears.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area. Ensure laces are properly tied and not rubbing against each other.
Loss of grip on the sole
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from mud, oil, or other slippery substances. For worn-down soles, consider consulting a cobbler for potential repair or replacement if feasible.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a suitable leather conditioner as per the product instructions. This will help restore moisture and sheen to the leather upper.
