FAQs
Are these sneakers fully waterproof?
Yes, the Clarks ATL Trek Run GTX features a GORE-TEX Flux performance membrane which provides durable waterproof protection and breathability, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I use my own insoles with these shoes?
Absolutely. These sneakers come with a removable footbed, allowing you to easily replace it with your preferred custom orthotics or insoles for personalized comfort and support.
How should I clean my ATL Trek Run GTX sneakers?
Brush off loose dirt, then gently clean the textile upper with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents. Air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
They are suitable for light hikes and outdoor walks. Their GORE-TEX protection, comfortable padding, and durable construction make them a good choice for varied terrains and weather conditions, though they are not designed for extreme mountaineering.
What is the purpose of the reflective webbing?
The reflective webbing is designed to enhance your visibility in low-light environments, such as during dusk, dawn, or nighttime. It reflects light from external sources, making you more noticeable to others.
What material is the shoe upper made from?
The upper is constructed from a breathable black textile, ensuring comfort and air circulation while providing a durable outer layer.
What does 'recycled EVA' in the footbed mean?
Recycled EVA refers to the use of repurposed Ethylene-vinyl acetate foam in the footbed. This indicates a commitment to sustainability by using recycled materials while still providing cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel wet despite GORE-TEX.
Ensure the water isn't entering from the top opening (e.g., splashing over the ankle in deep puddles). Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Prolonged exposure to very heavy rain might saturate the outer material, but the membrane should keep your feet dry inside.
The shoes feel uncomfortable after long walks.
Adjust your lacing to ensure a secure yet not overly tight fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns. Consider if the removable footbed provides adequate arch support for your foot; if not, try replacing it with a specialized insole that matches your foot type.
The reflective webbing isn't very bright.
The reflective webbing works by bouncing back light from external sources (like car headlights or flashlights). Ensure there is a light source directed at the webbing for it to illuminate effectively. It does not glow independently.
The textile upper looks dirty quickly.
Regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For light stains, use a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized textile shoe cleaner or a mild soap solution applied with a soft brush can help. Always allow them to air dry completely.

Care:
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the breathable textile upper, gently brush off loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- GORE-TEX Membrane Care: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid using strong detergents or fabric softeners, as these can impede its waterproof and breathable properties. Air dry your shoes completely after cleaning, away from direct heat sources.
- Footbed Care: The removable footbed can be taken out and air-dried if it becomes damp or requires refreshing. If heavily soiled, wash gently by hand with mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Do not machine wash or put them in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use.
