Clarks Funny Dream - Black Leather - 5.5 UK

The Clarks Funny Dream typically runs true to size. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to Clarks' official size guide, or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. This specific pair is a UK size 5.5, which is generally consistent with standard sizing.

Clarks often offers different width fittings for some styles. While this specific product doesn't explicitly state a width, the soft leather upper and adjustable lacing may offer some flexibility for slightly wider feet. If you typically require a wide fit, it's best to try them on or check if a specific wide fitting is available in the Funny Dream series.

The premium leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided. For added protection against moisture and stains, consider applying a leather-specific waterproof spray.

TPR stands for ThermoPlastic Rubber. It's a synthetic material widely used for shoe outsoles due to its excellent flexibility, durability, and slip resistance. It provides a good balance of grip and comfort for everyday wear, contributing to the lightweight feel of the shoe.

For the eyelets, use a soft, damp cloth or a cotton swab with a tiny amount of mild soap solution to gently wipe away dirt. Be careful not to get the soap solution on the leather upper. Afterwards, wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.

No, one of the key features of the Funny Dream series is its 'lightweight, curvy wedge soles.' These soles are specifically designed to provide ample comfort and support without adding significant weight, making them suitable and comfortable for all-day wear despite their chunky aesthetic.

Clean the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a suitable black leather polish. Buff gently with a soft brush or cloth to restore shine and minimize the appearance of scuffs.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot. You can also use a shoe stretcher or consult a professional cobbler for stretching if needed. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists and seems to come from the outsole, check for embedded debris.

While the TPR outsole is designed to be grippy, some very smooth or wet surfaces can still present challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud, dirt, or debris. If consistently an issue, consider adding adhesive anti-slip pads to the bottom of the sole for added traction.
