FAQs

Are the Clarks Motion Trek Mix shoes waterproof?

No, the engineered knit upper is designed for breathability and comfort, but it is not fully waterproof. While it can handle light splashes, it's not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions.

What activities are these shoes best suited for?

The Motion Trek Mix is ideal for daily walking, urban exploration, casual wear, and light trail walking or trekking. Its design prioritizes comfort, breathability, and stability for moderate activity levels.

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

We recommend referring to the official Clarks size guide. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Keep in mind factors like foot width and preferred sock thickness when making your selection.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

Machine washing is generally not recommended as it can damage the engineered knit and internal components. Please follow the care instructions provided, which suggest hand-cleaning with mild soap and air drying.

What is 'Motion tread technology'?

'Motion tread technology' refers to the specially designed outsole pattern and material composition that provides enhanced grip and stability, allowing for more confident movement across various surfaces.

Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?

While the knit upper is generally flexible, a short break-in period of a few wears is recommended to allow the shoes to fully conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort and fit.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or reef knot. Check if the laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are too smooth or frayed.

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Verify you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lace tension; sometimes a slightly looser or tighter lace pattern can alleviate pressure points. Consider wearing appropriate athletic socks or trying different insoles for added cushioning or support.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Clean the Motion tread outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn, the shoes may need to be replaced.

Knit upper appears dirty or stained

Spot clean the affected area immediately with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Gently blot and wipe, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Unpleasant odor from shoes

Remove and air out any removable insoles. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure shoes are completely dry after use before storing them.

Getting started with your Clarks Motion Trek Mix shoes is simple. Upon unboxing, loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Motion Trek Mix shoes:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the engineered knit upper, gently wipe dirt and stains with a soft, damp cloth using a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive brushes that could damage the knit fabric. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the Motion tread outsole. This helps maintain optimal grip.
  • Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
  • Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not put them in a dryer.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • Laces: Periodically check laces for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to ensure a secure fit.
