FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the 'GTX' in the product name indicates that these shoes feature GORE-TEX technology, providing durable waterproof and breathable protection for your feet.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for premium leather. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Are they suitable for running?
The 'Run' in the name suggests they are designed for active movement, including light jogging or trail running. However, they are built for comfort and support across varied terrain, rather than as dedicated high-performance running shoes for intense road running.
What type of terrain are they best suited for?
These shoes perform well on varied terrains, including urban environments, paved paths, and light to moderate trails. The flexible outsole and cushioned footbed provide comfort and stability for mixed surfaces.
Do I need to break them in?
As with many quality leather shoes, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather and footbed to conform to your unique foot shape for optimal comfort.
What does 'ATL Trek' mean?
ATL Trek is a Clarks series designed for 'All-Terrain Leisure,' combining athletic-inspired comfort with durable, supportive features suitable for an active lifestyle and varied environments.
Are the insoles removable?
Info needed: Typically, insoles in modern active footwear are designed to be removable for cleaning or to accommodate custom orthotics. Please check your specific product for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with premium leather footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods (1-2 hours) over several days to allow the leather and footbed to mold to your feet.
Foot odor develops after prolonged wear.
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Remove the insoles (if possible) and allow the shoes to air out completely between wears. A foot powder or shoe deodorizer can also help.
The leather appears dry or cracked.
Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner to moisturize and protect the leather. Clean the shoes before conditioning for best results.
Slipping on certain surfaces despite the rubber outsole.
While the rubber outsole offers good grip, extreme conditions like ice or very slick, wet surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from embedded debris that could reduce traction.
Water seems to be getting in.
Check the condition of the leather upper for any damage or excessive wear. While GTX is waterproof, sustained exposure to deep water or heavy wear can compromise the outer material. Clean and re-treat the outer leather with a suitable water repellent spray.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ATL Trek Run GTX shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is crucial for premium leather.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While GTX provides inherent waterproofing, the outer leather can still benefit from a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather and GORE-TEX materials. This helps water bead off the surface and keeps the leather looking good.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Insole Care: Info needed: If insoles are removable, remove them occasionally to air out and prevent odor.
