FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for heavy-duty hiking?
The ATL Trek Run GTX trainers are designed for outdoor activities like walking and light hiking. For very demanding or technical terrains, specialized hiking boots might offer more support and grip.
How do I best clean the leather and textile upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more thorough cleaning, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally.
Will my feet stay completely dry in heavy rain?
Yes, the GTX (Gore-Tex) technology is designed to be waterproof, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions. Ensure all laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What is the main difference between the ATL Trek Run GTX and other Clarks trainers?
The ATL Trek Run GTX specifically features a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, making it ideal for wet weather and outdoor use, differentiating it from trainers focused solely on casual wear or indoor activities.
How long does the waterproof protection last?
The Gore-Tex membrane is durable and designed for long-lasting waterproofing. Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain its effectiveness over time.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite the waterproof claim.
Ensure laces are securely tied to seal out water. Check for any damage to the shoe that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Allow shoes to dry completely after use if they have been exposed to significant moisture.
Traction seems insufficient on slippery surfaces.
The synthetic sole offers good grip for general use. For extremely slick conditions, consider that specialized hiking boots with deeper lugs may provide enhanced traction. Ensure the sole is clean of mud and debris.
Discomfort during initial wear.
Leather and textile materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size is being worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied to your desired tightness for a secure fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males seeking outdoor footwear. They are designed for a range of activities including walking, hiking, and general outdoor wear. They pair well with activewear and casual outdoor clothing.
Care: To maintain the waterproof qualities and appearance:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing: While the GTX membrane is inherently waterproof, regular cleaning helps preserve its effectiveness. Avoid prolonged submersion in water.
