FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking in all weather conditions?
Yes, the ATL Trek Run GTX trainers are designed with a waterproof GTX finish, making them suitable for various weather conditions including rain and wet terrain. The Mimic Grip sole also offers enhanced traction.
How should I clean the trainers if they get muddy?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away mud and dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the 'Mimic Grip' sole technology?
Mimic Grip refers to the synthetic sole's design, engineered to provide confident traction and stability on a variety of outdoor surfaces, helping you maintain grip in challenging conditions.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, the waterproof membrane, and the sole's adhesion. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is the preferred method.
How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?
Ensure all laces are tied tightly and the tongue is correctly seated to prevent water entry. Periodically check for any damage to the shoe that might compromise the waterproof barrier.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of durable textile and leather, offering both support and resilience for outdoor activities.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the Black variant, Clarks often offers popular models in a range of colors. Please check the product listing or other available variants for color options.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite 'waterproof' claim
Ensure laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly positioned to seal the shoe. Check for any visible damage to the upper or sole. Extreme submersion may exceed the waterproof limit.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the Mimic Grip sole thoroughly as accumulated dirt or mud can reduce grip. The sole's grip may naturally decrease with significant wear over time.
Discomfort during wear
Adjust the lace tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the correct size or shape for your foot.
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner sparingly to the leather sections of the trainers, following the product's instructions. Allow it to absorb before wearing.
