FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for these shoes?

These Clarks Funny Dream shoes are designed with a regular fit in UK sizing. We strongly recommend trying them on to ensure the best possible fit, paying particular attention to the comfort and width provided by the square toe design.

Are these shoes suitable for extended periods of walking or standing?

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the integrated Contoured Comfort and Cushion Plus technologies, these shoes are specifically engineered for all-day wear, providing excellent support and cushioning that is beneficial for extended periods of walking or standing.

What does 'chrome-free tanned leather lining' mean?

This term refers to the tanning process used for the inner lining of the shoe. 'Chrome-free' signifies that no chromium sulfates were used in the tanning, which can be advantageous for individuals with sensitive skin and is generally considered a more environmentally conscious tanning method.

Can I wear these blue leather shoes in wet weather?

While the smooth leather offers a degree of natural resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. We advise avoiding heavy rain and prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the leather. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

How often should I clean or condition the leather on my shoes?

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth as needed to remove any surface dirt. The frequency of conditioning depends on how often you wear them and your local climate, but typically every few months, or whenever the leather begins to look dry, will help preserve its life and appearance.

Is the 'quirky design' of the Funny Dream shoes adjustable?

The 'quirky design' refers to the overall distinctive aesthetic of the Funny Dream series, including its unique shape and lacing style. This design is an integral part of the shoe's iconic identity and is not adjustable beyond customizing the tightness of the laces for fit.

Troubleshooting

My new shoes feel stiff or cause rubbing initially.

New leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Pairing them with quality, well-fitting socks can also help prevent rubbing and discomfort during this period.

The smooth leather upper is starting to look dull or dry.

After cleaning the shoes with a damp cloth to remove any surface grime, apply a suitable leather conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather. This will help moisturize the material and restore its natural luster and suppleness.

The laces seem to come undone frequently during wear.

Ensure you are tying a strong, secure knot. For added security and to prevent frequent untying, a double knot can be used, especially during more active periods.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional All-Day Comfort: Advanced Contoured Comfort and Cushion Plus technologies ensure feet stay comfortable and supported for extended periods.
  • Iconic & Distinctive Style: The Funny Dream series is known for its quirky and timeless design, offering a unique fashion statement.
  • Generous Toe Box Width: The square toe design provides ample room, ideal for those who prefer more space or have wider feet across the toes.
  • High-Quality Leather Construction: Made from smooth leather with a chrome-free lining, ensuring durability and a luxurious feel.
  • Lightweight & Flexible: The sole reduces foot fatigue and allows for natural movement, making them suitable for active use.

Cons

  • Specific Aesthetic: The unique 'quirky' design might not align with all personal fashion tastes or wardrobes.
  • Lace-Up Closure: Requires manual tying, which some users might find less convenient than slip-on or hook-and-loop styles.
  • Leather Care Required: As a natural leather product, these shoes need regular cleaning and conditioning to maintain their appearance and longevity.

Setup

To prepare your Clarks Funny Dream shoes for wear, simply lace them up through the short eyelets to achieve a secure and customized fit. Adjust the laces as needed throughout the day to maintain optimal comfort.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adult women and feature a regular fit, specifically in UK size 5.5. The distinctive square toe is particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer or require additional width and room across the toes.

Care

To ensure your smooth leather Clarks Funny Dream shoes remain in pristine condition and last for years:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of the shoes with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt or dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather.
  2. Drying: Should the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically formulated for smooth leather. This practice helps to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevents it from drying out and cracking.
  4. Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
