FAQs
What material are the Clarks Funny Dream shoes made from?
The Clarks Funny Dream shoes are crafted from earthy soft black full-grain leather, providing both durability and a premium feel.
What is the fit of these shoes?
They are designed with a standard D width fitting, suitable for most adult female feet. If you typically wear a wider shoe, you might find them a snug fit.
How should I clean and care for my black leather Funny Dream shoes?
Regularly wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning or to maintain shine, use a quality black leather polish or cream, following the product's instructions for application. Consider a leather protector for water resistance.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the lightweight curvy wedge soles are specifically designed for everyday comfort, making them an excellent choice for extended wear and active lifestyles.
What makes the 'Funny Dream' style distinctive?
The style is characterized by its iconic Clarks DNA, chunky eyelet lacing, and asymmetric stitched seam, which contribute to its handcrafted and unique aesthetic. It's affectionately known as the 'pasty shoe' due to its distinct shape.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the full-grain leather offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to treat them with a water-resistant leather protector and avoid heavy rain to prolong their life and appearance.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, Clarks Funny Dream shoes run true to their UK size. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, you might consider trying a half size up, keeping in mind they are a standard D width.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying a proper double knot. The chunky eyelets may require a slightly firmer pull to secure the knot effectively. Alternatively, consider replacing the laces with a slightly thicker material if the issue persists.
Leather appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Apply a small amount of quality black leather polish or cream using a soft cloth, then buff gently to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Repeat as necessary.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many quality leather shoes, the Clarks Funny Dream may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations (1-2 hours) initially to allow the leather to soften and mould to the unique contours of your feet for optimal comfort.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak is from the outsole, check for debris or uneven wear.

Setup
To wear your Clarks Funny Dream shoes, simply loosen the chunky eyelet laces, slip your foot comfortably inside, and then pull the laces to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit. It's recommended to tie a secure double knot to prevent the laces from coming undone during activity.
Compatibility

Care
Leather Care: The black full-grain leather requires regular maintenance to keep it looking its best.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or superficial dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Conditioning/Polishing: To maintain the leather's suppleness and shine, periodically apply a high-quality black leather cream or polish. Buff gently with a clean, soft cloth after application.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance, especially in unpredictable weather.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent drying or cracking of the leather. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
