FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product name 'ATLTrekRun GTX' suggests the incorporation of GORE-TEX technology, which typically provides waterproof and breathable properties. While the general description doesn't explicitly detail the waterproof rating, GTX usually means they are designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I clean the premium leather upper?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a reputable leather cleaner and conditioner designed for premium footwear. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.
Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?
Yes, it is common for premium leather shoes with contour footbeds to require a short 'break-in' period. This allows the materials to mold to the unique shape of your foot, enhancing personalized comfort over time. Start with shorter wears and gradually increase duration.
What does 'responsibly sourced premium leather' mean?
This indicates that the leather used in the shoe's upper is obtained from suppliers who adhere to ethical and sustainable practices, often involving reduced environmental impact and fair labor standards in their tanning processes.
Are these suitable for running or intense sports?
While the 'Run' in the name might suggest it, the ATLTrekRun GTX is primarily designed for walking, light trekking, and daily versatile use, emphasizing comfort and support. For intense running or specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear is generally recommended.
How does the arch support benefit me?
The integrated arch support helps distribute pressure evenly across your foot, supporting the natural curve of your arch. This can reduce strain on your feet, ankles, and knees, leading to greater comfort and less fatigue during prolonged periods of standing or walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
New leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing the time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, double-check your size.
Foot odor develops after wear.
Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each use. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or shoe deodorizers. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to moisturize and restore its luster. This should be done periodically based on usage.
Slipping on wet or smooth surfaces.
While the rubber outsole is designed for flexibility and grip, certain extreme conditions might still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. If the tread appears worn, it might indicate the need for replacement.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX shoes.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Footbed Maintenance: The footbeds are designed for durability, but allowing the shoes to air out after each wear can prevent odor build-up. If removable, they can be gently wiped clean. Do not machine wash.
- Outsole Care: Brush off any mud or debris from the rubber outsole to maintain traction. Check regularly for embedded small stones that could damage the sole.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Water Resistance (GTX): If your shoes feature GORE-TEX technology, they are designed to be waterproof and breathable. While the leather itself might be treated, it's beneficial to periodically reapply a suitable water and stain protector specifically designed for leather and GORE-TEX fabrics to maintain their protective qualities.
