FAQs
Are these trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, the ATL Trek Run GTX trainers feature a Gore-Tex (GTX) waterproof finish designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How should I clean my Clarks ATL Trek Run GTX trainers?
Clean the upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
They are designed for outdoor use and perform well on varied terrains including trails, gravel paths, and wet or uneven surfaces due to their grippy tread.
Can I wear these for running?
While they offer cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as outdoor trainers for walking and light hiking rather than performance running.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of synthetic material, designed for durability and grip.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Use the lace-up fastening to adjust the shoes to your foot. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel is secure without slipping.
What is the main benefit of the GTX technology?
The GTX (Gore-Tex) technology provides a waterproof and breathable barrier, ensuring your feet stay dry from external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lace-up fastening to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. If discomfort persists after adjustment, the size may not be suitable.
Water seeping through the material
Ensure the laces are tied tightly and the tongue is properly positioned. If water penetration continues, the waterproof membrane may be compromised; contact customer support.
Tread losing grip on surfaces
Clean the sole of any accumulated mud or debris. If the tread is visibly worn down, the shoes may need replacement for optimal safety.
Discoloration of materials
Follow the care instructions for cleaning. Avoid exposure to prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading. If discoloration is significant, consider it normal wear and tear for outdoor footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult men. Designed for outdoor use, including walking, hiking, and casual wear in varied weather conditions. They are compatible with standard sock wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and leather upper, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the GTX finish is durable, regular cleaning helps maintain its effectiveness. Avoid prolonged submersion in water.
