FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The ATL Trek River sandals are suitable for light hiking on well-maintained trails. The Mimic Grip™ technology provides good traction, but the open-toe design offers limited protection against rocks and roots on more rugged terrain.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Clarks or the retailer. These sandals are available in standard adult UK men's sizes. Ensure you measure your foot accurately from heel to toe.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
Yes, these sandals are designed for outdoor use and can handle getting wet. The textile upper and EVA components are generally water-friendly, but it's recommended to let them air dry thoroughly afterwards to prevent odor and maintain material integrity.
What is Mimic Grip™ technology?
Mimic Grip™ is a traction technology integrated into the Rock™ rubber outsole. It is designed to provide optimal grip and stability on a variety of surfaces by mimicking natural foot movements and adapting to the terrain.
How durable is the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole is known for its lightweight and shock-absorbing properties, offering good durability for everyday wear and moderate activities. For extremely demanding or prolonged use, its resilience might be less than denser materials.
What is the main difference between the ATL Trek River and other Clarks sandals?
The ATL Trek River specifically emphasizes performance for outdoor exploration with features like the Rock™ rubber outsole and Mimic Grip™ technology for superior traction, alongside an EVA footbed designed for comfort and support during active use.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the three riptape straps accordingly. For a tighter fit, overlap the straps more; for a looser fit, reduce the overlap. Ensure straps are secured evenly.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Mimic Grip™ outsole and your feet are clean. Remove any mud or debris that might be obstructing the grip pattern. The grip may be reduced on exceptionally slick surfaces regardless of technology.
Discomfort from the footbed arch support
If new to sandals with arch support, allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, the arch support may not align with your foot's needs.
Textile upper appears dirty after use
Gently clean the textile with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the riptape straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit for your foot. Ensure the straps are fastened evenly to distribute pressure.
Compatibility:
The ATL Trek River sandals are designed for adult male footwear sizes. They are compatible with general outdoor activities and casual wear. Due to their open design and focus on traction, they are best suited for environments where full foot protection is not the primary concern.
Care Instructions:
- Upper: Clean the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Footbed & Midsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Outsole: Remove any debris by hand or with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth.
- Straps: Ensure riptape straps are clean to maintain their adhesion. Fasten them before cleaning to prevent damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity.
