Product Information
Full details
The Clarks Motion Trek LO Trainers are designed for active adults who prioritize comfort and effortless style in their daily footwear. These trainers offer the significant benefit of advanced impact absorption and natural gait support, making them ideal for long periods of walking or standing. A notable caveat for potential buyers is that the engineered knit upper, while highly breathable, does not provide the same water resistance as leather or synthetic overlays, making them less suitable for heavy rain or rugged off-road terrain.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered knit upper is designed for breathability and will not repel water effectively.
Can I use these for heavy athletic training?
These are primarily walking and casual trainers. While they have excellent impact absorption, they lack the lateral stability required for high-intensity gym workouts or sports.
How do I ensure the correct size?
These follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a UK 8.5 in Clarks, this model should fit consistently with your other pairs.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which allows for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The flexible nature of the knit upper provides more "give" than rigid materials, making them accommodating for many foot shapes, though they are built on a standard width last.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper showing signs of dirt or discoloration
Use a soft brush to gently remove surface dust and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stain removal. Avoid submerging the entire shoe.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to ensure a secure lockdown across the midfoot.
Reduction in cushioning feel over time
Check if the factory insole has compressed; replacing the insert with a fresh aftermarket insole can revitalize the cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clarks Motion Trek LO Trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The lace-up closure provides a standard UK 8.5 fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not constricting to allow for the natural expansion of your feet throughout the day.
- Cleaning: Because of the knit material, avoid machine washing if possible. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to spot clean. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the rubber outsole for trapped debris or small stones that can get lodged in the tread pattern, as this will maintain optimal traction.
