Fit and Sizing
Clarks Craft Speed shoes fit true to Clarks standards. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort with winter socks. Available in standard EU sizes.
Not Suitable If
These shoes are not recommended if you are looking for footwear for trekking or hiking on rough terrain, intense sports activities, prolonged heavy rain (suede requires extra protection with waterproofing spray), formal settings that require classic dress shoes (ceremonies, corporate office), or technical running/trail shoes.

Maintenance and Care
Remove dust and dirt with a soft brush. For stains on suede, use a specific eraser or crepe brush. Apply waterproofing spray for suede every 2-3 weeks for protection. Do not machine wash. Dry at room temperature away from direct heat. Store in a dry place with shoe trees to maintain structure. The insole is removable for separate cleaning or replacement with orthopedic inserts.
