FAQs

How do I best protect my Desert Treks from water and stains?

Before first wear, treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or exposure to wet conditions.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

While treated suede offers some resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, as it can damage the suede and potentially affect the crepe sole. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What does 'FSC-certified rubber crepe sole' mean?

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means the rubber used in the sole comes from responsibly managed forests, providing environmental, social, and economic benefits. It indicates a sustainable and renewable material choice.

Are Desert Treks true to size?

Clarks Originals generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. If you are unsure, it's often recommended to try them on. The unique comfort last is designed to accommodate a natural foot shape.

How should I store my Desert Treks when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, prevent creasing, and absorb moisture, extending their lifespan.

What is the distinctive central seam for?

The distinctive central seam is a signature design element of the Desert Trek, contributing to its iconic and instantly recognizable aesthetic. It's a key part of its heritage design.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Apply a suede protector regularly.

Crepe sole attracts excessive dirt

Gently clean the sole with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. A specialized crepe sole cleaning block can also be effective for tougher debris. Avoid walking on heavily soiled or oily surfaces.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Desert Treks often require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few hours at a time over several days to allow the premium suede and unique comfort last to mold to your feet for optimal comfort.

Laces frequently come untied

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, durable laces of a similar style.

Pros - Timeless, iconic design suitable for various outfits. - Exceptional comfort for prolonged wear due to unique last and crepe sole. - Durable construction with high-quality suede and rubber crepe. - Sustainable choice with FSC-certified sole material. - Highly versatile, pairing well with casual and semi-formal attire. ### Cons - Suede material requires regular cleaning and protection to prevent stains. - Crepe soles can attract dirt and debris more easily than other sole types. - Initial wear may require a brief break-in period for optimal comfort.

Setup To prepare your Desert Treks for wear, simply lace them up and adjust for a snug, comfortable fit. No complex setup is required. We recommend a brief break-in period of a few hours over several days to allow the suede to conform to your foot shape. ### Compatibility These shoes are highly versatile, complementing a wide range of wardrobe styles. They pair well with denim, chinos, corduroys, and even tailored trousers for a smart-casual aesthetic. Their neutral sand hue ensures easy integration into most color palettes. ### Care - Suede Upper: To maintain the premium look of the sand suede, regularly brush with a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains. For minor stains, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth (water only) and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals. - Crepe Sole: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt. Clean gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized crepe sole cleaner can be used, following product instructions. Avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh solvents which can damage the material. - Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
