FAQs
What does "GTX" in the product name signify?
The "GTX" in Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX typically refers to GORE-TEX, a waterproof and breathable membrane. This technology helps to keep your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape.
How should I clean the premium leather upper?
For routine cleaning, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
With the implied GTX technology, these shoes offer good water resistance and breathability, making them suitable for damp or rainy conditions. However, they are not designed for extreme winter conditions or prolonged submersion in water.
What is the benefit of the high-rebound foam footbed?
The high-rebound foam footbed provides exceptional cushioning that absorbs impact and returns energy with each step. This helps to reduce fatigue and provides lasting comfort, especially during long periods of walking or standing.
Are Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX true to size?
Clarks generally follows standard UK sizing. We recommend consulting a Clarks size guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit for your feet. Proper sizing is crucial for maximizing comfort and support.
What does "responsibly sourced premium leather" mean?
This indicates that the leather used in the shoe's upper comes from tanneries that meet high environmental and social standards, often certified by organizations like the Leather Working Group (LWG). It signifies a commitment to sustainable and ethical practices.
Can I replace the footbed?
The product description mentions a "moulded contour cushion lined footbed." This often implies it's integrated into the shoe's design, but some moulded footbeds can still be removed. Info needed: Please check if your specific model's footbed is removable. If so, it can be replaced with custom orthotics or fresh insoles.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size; an improper fit is a common cause of discomfort. Allow for a short break-in period for the premium leather to fully conform to your foot. Wear appropriate socks to prevent rubbing.
Squeaking sound while walking.
Check if there's any trapped moisture between the insole and the shoe's sole. Remove the footbed (if removable - Info needed: Confirm removability) and sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. Also, check the outsole for any embedded debris.
Leather appears dry, dull, or scuffed.
Clean the leather upper thoroughly with a specialized leather cleaner. Once dry, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or polish to restore its luster and moisture. For scuffs, use a cream polish in a matching color.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX shoes, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Always follow the product instructions for the cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the premium leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain its water-resistant properties.
- Outsole Maintenance: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris, which can affect grip.
- Lining Care: Allow the shoes to air out after each wear to maintain the freshness of the breathable leather lining. If needed, you can gently wipe the interior with a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is completely dry before wearing again.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
