FAQs
Are the Motion Trek LX shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
No, the Motion Trek LX is designed as a sports-inspired casual shoe for athleisure and everyday wear. While it offers excellent comfort and support for walking, it is not engineered for the demands of running or high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I clean the leather on my Motion Trek LX shoes?
For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a reputable leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is 'Motion Tread Technology'?
Motion Tread Technology is an innovative feature integrated into the outsole and midsole of the Motion Trek LX. It is designed to work with your foot's natural biomechanics, supporting your walking motion for enhanced comfort and fluidity.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The Motion Trek LX features a grippy rubber outsole for good traction. However, as they are made of leather, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray to help repel water and prevent stains, especially if you anticipate exposure to wet conditions.
How important is the 'rocker heel' feature?
The rocker heel is a key design element that complements the Motion Tread Technology. It's shaped to encourage a smooth heel-to-toe transition during walking, contributing to a more natural and energy-efficient stride.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Motion Trek LX is designed with supportive features like Motion Tread Technology and an EVA midsole for overall comfort during walking. While it provides good general support, individuals with specific arch support needs may find additional inserts beneficial. Info needed: Specific arch support level.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try re-lacing the shoes, ensuring even tension, not too tight. Leather may stretch slightly with wear. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size larger or wider fit if available.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
The grippy rubber outsole is designed for excellent traction. Check for any debris lodged in the tread that might reduce grip. Clean the outsole thoroughly. Avoid extremely slippery conditions as no shoe can guarantee absolute traction.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Once dry, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturiser to restore its luster and suppleness. Regular conditioning is key for leather care.
Shoes develop an odour.
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Remove insoles if possible and let them air. Use foot powder or shoe deodorisers to combat odour. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda underneath it, and then reinserting it. If the squeak is from the outsole, it may be due to moisture or a new surface; this often resolves itself with wear.

Setup: Getting Started with Your Motion Trek LX
- Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging.

- First Wear: Wear your new shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. Leather naturally softens and adapts over time.

Care: Maintaining Your Leather Motion Trek LX
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather Motion Trek LX shoes:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to the product instructions.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the leather appears dry.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, particularly before first use.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
