FAQs
Are these Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX shoes waterproof?
Yes, the 'GTX' in the product name indicates that these shoes feature Gore-Tex technology, making them both waterproof and breathable to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How should I clean the leather upper of my ATLTrekRun GTX shoes?
To clean the premium leather, gently wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Allow to air dry naturally.
What type of activities are these shoes best suited for?
The Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX shoes are ideal for everyday wear, urban exploration, casual walks, and light-to-moderate trail use. Their comfort, support, and weather resistance make them versatile for various casual and active scenarios.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
Yes, they feature a 'Wrapped contour cushion footbed with arch support' designed to provide excellent stability and comfort, especially for longer periods of wear.
How can I extend the lifespan of my ATLTrekRun GTX shoes?
Regular cleaning and conditioning of the leather, allowing them to air dry thoroughly after use, and storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight will significantly help prolong their lifespan.
Are Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX shoes true to size?
Clarks footwear generally fits true to size. However, it's always recommended to consult a size guide or try them on to ensure the best possible fit, especially given the UK sizing standard.
Can the footbed be removed or replaced?
The footbed in the ATLTrekRun GTX is designed as a 'moulded contour cushion lined footbed' and is integrated for optimal comfort and support. While some footbeds might be technically removable, replacing it might alter the shoe's intended fit and performance.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or sweaty after prolonged wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. While the breathable leather lining helps, certain synthetic socks can trap heat. Consider switching to moisture-wicking materials like merino wool or specialized athletic socks.
The leather looks dry, dull, or has minor scuffs.
Clean the leather with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Then, apply a suitable leather conditioner or protector to restore its appearance, moisturize the leather, and help protect against future scuffs.
The shoes feel stiff or slightly uncomfortable initially.
Allow a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially, around the house or for light walks. This allows the premium leather and moulded footbed to conform to your unique foot shape for optimal comfort.
I notice a slight squeak when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new outsoles or if moisture gets between the insole and shoe base. Try removing and reinserting the footbed, or ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. A small amount of talcum powder under the footbed can sometimes help.
The outsole grip seems less effective than expected.
Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris, mud, or wear. Clean the tread thoroughly with a brush and water if necessary. If the tread is significantly worn down, it might be time to consider replacement.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
- For tougher grime, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap (specifically for leather).
- Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Outsole Care: Regularly check the rubber outsole for trapped dirt or debris and clean with a stiff brush and water if necessary to maintain grip.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, remove the footbeds (if removable) and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Gore-Tex Maintenance: The waterproof breathable membrane requires no special care beyond keeping the outer material clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the membrane.
