FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Clarks Motion Trek Mix trainers are designed for elevated casual style and light activity, such as brisk walking or everyday wear, benefiting from Motion Tread Technology for forward motion. While comfortable for light exercise, they are not specifically engineered as high-performance running shoes for intense or long-distance running.

How do I determine my correct size?

We recommend trying on the shoes to ensure the best fit. Clarks shoes typically follow standard UK sizing. Ensure your toes have enough room to wiggle freely without touching the end of the shoe, and the heel feels secure without slipping.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The engineered knit upper provides breathability but is not fully waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wet feet. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or using a water-repellent spray designed for knit footwear if you anticipate wet conditions.

What is 'Motion Tread Technology'?

Motion Tread Technology is an innovative design integrated into the outsole and midsole of the Clarks Motion Trek series. It's crafted to optimize and power your forward motion, making each step feel more effortless and efficient by enhancing the natural gait cycle.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the engineered knit, midsole, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the 'Product Care' instructions provided, which suggest gentle hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The Clarks Motion Trek Mix features an ultra-lightweight midsole designed for impact absorption and comfort. While it provides inherent support for general wear, individuals requiring specific or high arch support may find additional benefit from custom or orthotic insoles.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and breathability, we recommend wearing socks made from moisture-wicking materials (e.g., athletic socks made of synthetic blends or merino wool). Cotton socks can sometimes trap moisture and reduce the shoe's natural breathability.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel hot or sweaty.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks made from moisture-wicking materials. The engineered knit is breathable, but certain sock types can impede airflow. If needed, allow shoes to air out between wears.

The fit feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the lace closure. Loosen or tighten the laces evenly across your foot until you achieve a comfortable, secure fit without any pinching or slipping. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.

There's a squeaking sound when I walk.

Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the shoe's interior, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help. Also check for loose outsole components.

The shoes look dirty or scuffed.

Refer to the 'Product Care' section for detailed cleaning instructions for the knit upper, midsole, and outsole. Promptly cleaning dirt can prevent it from setting in and prolong the shoe's appearance.

My feet still ache after wearing the shoes for a long time.

While the ultra-lightweight midsole provides excellent impact absorption, prolonged periods of standing or walking can still cause fatigue. Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for support. If discomfort persists, consider adding custom insoles for additional arch support or cushioning specific to your foot type, or consult a footwear specialist.

Product Care

To ensure your Clarks Motion Trek Mix trainers remain in excellent condition and deliver optimal performance, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the engineered knit upper, gently wipe any dirt or dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove mud and grime. A soft brush can help with textured areas.
  • Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can deform the material or cause fading.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Odour Control: If needed, use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda sachets to keep the interior fresh.
