FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the 'GTX' in the product name indicates that these shoes feature GORE-TEX technology, providing durable waterproofing and breathability to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How should I clean the premium leather upper?

Gently wipe away dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a soft brush can be used. After cleaning, allow them to air dry completely. To maintain the leather's quality, occasionally apply a suitable leather conditioner.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

Absolutely. The Clarks ATLTrekRun GTX features a `wrapped contour cushion footbed with arch support` and a `moulded contour cushion lined footbed`, specifically designed to provide excellent support and comfort for your arches.

Can I wear these for light hiking or just city walking?

These shoes are versatile. The `rubber outsole` provides good grip and flexibility for light hiking trails, while the `premium leather upper` and comfortable `footbed` make them equally suitable for extensive city walking and daily wear.

How often should I re-waterproof them?

The frequency depends on usage and exposure to wet conditions. As a general guide, re-apply a GORE-TEX compatible waterproofing spray every few months, or if you notice water no longer beads off the surface as effectively.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to complement the shoe's breathability, it's recommended to wear moisture-wicking socks. These will help manage sweat and keep your feet dry, especially during active use.

Are the insoles removable?

Info needed: While many Clarks shoes have removable insoles for custom orthotics or replacement, this specific detail is not provided. You can typically check by gently attempting to lift the insole from the heel.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp or wet inside the shoes.

First, confirm if the GORE-TEX waterproofing is compromised (e.g., a cut or puncture). More commonly, this can be due to sweat build-up if wearing non-wicking socks or in extremely hot conditions. Ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks and that the shoes are properly dried after each use. Re-apply a GORE-TEX compatible waterproofing treatment to the exterior if needed.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can often be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, dusting a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be the outsole on certain surfaces.

Leather looks dry or cracked.

The `responsibly sourced premium leather upper` requires conditioning. Use a high-quality leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for shoes. Apply a small amount with a soft cloth, let it absorb, then buff gently. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Lack of expected comfort or support after some wear.

The `moulded contour cushion lined footbed` and `high-rebound foam footbed` are designed for lasting comfort. If comfort diminishes, check the insoles for excessive wear or compression. Replacement insoles designed for arch support and cushioning can often restore the shoe's comfort level. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.

Sole appears less flexible or grip is reduced.

The `rubber outsole` is designed for flexibility and grip. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris, which can reduce flexibility and traction. If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoe's performance will naturally decrease.
