FAQs

What type of socks are best with Desert Treks?

Thin to medium-weight socks are generally recommended. Cotton or wool blends work well for comfort and breathability.

How do I break in my new Desert Treks?

The Desert Trek is designed for comfort from the start. Wear them for short periods initially and they will naturally conform to your foot shape.

Are Desert Treks waterproof?

No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray to offer some water resistance.

How often should I clean my suede Desert Treks?

Regular brushing after wear helps maintain the suede. Deep cleaning or reapplication of protector spray should be done as needed, typically every few months depending on wear and environmental conditions.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not advisable to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the material can be easily damaged and stained.

What is the main difference between Desert Treks and other Clarks Originals?

The Desert Trek is distinguished by its unique 'Trekker's' nature-form last, central seam, and the characteristic crepe sole, offering a distinct silhouette and feel compared to other models like the Desert Boot.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner.

Crepe sole has collected debris

Gently wipe the sole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the natural rubber.

Shoes feel slightly stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede to mold to your foot. This is normal for new suede footwear.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. Consider applying a suede protector for future prevention.
