These women's Clarks shoes are super easy to use. Just slip them on and you're ready to go on your adventures. When it comes to the weather, they're weatherproof, so you don't have to worry about a little rain or wind. For maintenance, use a soft brush to clean the nubuck upper regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the material. If they get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. Also, remember that the 40mm heel height gives you a bit of lift, so walk carefully at first if you're not used to it.
