FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Clarks Motion Trek Mix are performance-enhanced trainers designed for everyday casual wear, walking, and light activity. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running or intense athletic training.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the knit upper and midsole integrity. Please refer to the 'Care and Maintenance' section for proper cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The lace closure allows for a custom fit. Adjust the laces to be snug around your foot without being too tight, ensuring your heel doesn't slip and your toes have enough room to move comfortably. Wear them with the type of socks you typically use.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The breathable engineered knit upper provides excellent ventilation but offers limited water resistance. They are suitable for dry conditions or light drizzle, but not designed to be waterproof in heavy rain or wet environments.
What is 'Motion Tread Technology'?
Motion Tread Technology is an innovative design feature integrated into the sole that is crafted to power forward motion, optimizing each step by enhancing the natural gait cycle and providing dynamic support.
How long do these shoes typically last?
The lifespan of the Clarks Motion Trek Mix depends on usage frequency, type of activity, and care. With proper care and appropriate use for casual activities, they are designed for durable, season-long wear. Regular cleaning and proper storage will help extend their life.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across the top of your foot for a secure yet comfortable fit. If sizing is consistently off, consider trying a half size up or down.
Foot discomfort during extended wear
While designed for comfort, initial wear may require a brief break-in period. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider adding an aftermarket insole for additional personalized support.
Knit upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dab, rather than rub, to avoid spreading the stain. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully. Air dry.
Squeaking sound while walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with a little talcum powder, and replacing the insole. If the issue persists, check the outsole for any embedded debris.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks Motion Trek Mix, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning the Knit Upper: Gently wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the material. For tougher spots, a soft-bristled brush can be used carefully. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Sole: Use a damp cloth to wipe dirt from the midsole and outsole. A small brush (like an old toothbrush) can help clean grooves in the tread.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Air dry at room temperature.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
