FAQs

What material are the Clarks Originals Desert Trek shoes made of?

These shoes feature butter-soft suede uppers and a natural crepe sole.

How do I clean the suede uppers?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. It's also advisable to use a suede protector spray.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Desert Trek has a natural shape that can accommodate various foot types, but the fit is generally considered standard. Trying them on is recommended if you have particularly wide feet.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance, suede is not ideal for heavy rain. The natural crepe sole can also become slippery when wet. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.

What is the main benefit of the natural crepe sole?

The natural crepe sole provides comfortable cushioning and a distinctive aesthetic that has become a hallmark of the Desert Trek.

How should I store my Desert Trek shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It's recommended to keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.

What kind of socks are best with Desert Treks?

Thin to medium-thickness cotton or wool socks work well. Avoid very thick socks, which might make the shoes feel too tight.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For persistent marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Crepe sole attracting excessive dirt

Wipe the sole with a slightly damp cloth after wear. Allow to air dry naturally.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length and color.

Shoes feel slightly loose

Tighten the laces. If the shoe still feels too loose, consider using an insole for a snugger fit.
