FAQs
What does 'GTX' mean?
'GTX' stands for GORE-TEX, a waterproof and breathable membrane technology. It's designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture while allowing perspiration to escape, ensuring comfort in varying weather conditions.
How do I clean the leather upper?
For general cleaning, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner if needed. Always air dry away from direct heat and apply a leather conditioner periodically to maintain the leather's quality.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The ATLTrekRun GTX is designed for light trekking and walking, offering excellent comfort, support, and waterproofing. While they can handle varied terrain, for heavy-duty, multi-day hiking or very rugged trails, a more robust hiking boot might be preferred.
Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?
Yes, as they feature a premium leather upper, a short break-in period is often beneficial. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to the unique shape of your feet for optimal comfort.
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks generally fit true to size. However, foot shape can vary. It's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the footbed's contouring.
Can I use these in hot weather?
While the GORE-TEX membrane is breathable, the leather upper and waterproof lining can make them feel warmer than non-waterproof, highly ventilated shoes in very hot conditions. They are most comfortable in moderate to cooler climates or when weather protection is needed.
What kind of socks should I wear?
For best performance and comfort, especially with GORE-TEX, wear moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic materials or wool. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture and can lead to discomfort and blisters.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes often require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Consider wearing thinner socks if they are only slightly snug.
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Check if water is entering over the top of the shoe (e.g., from deep puddles or rain without proper gaiters). Also, ensure your socks are suitable for moisture-wicking, as cotton socks can retain sweat. The GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof, but extreme conditions or physical damage can compromise it. Clean the outer material to ensure breathability is not blocked.
Squeaking noise when walking
Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder, or placing a thin cloth beneath the insole. If the squeak is from the outsole, ensure it's clean and free of debris.

Setup: Simply unbox and wear. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal comfort and fit. * Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adults and are suitable for various casual and light outdoor activities. They pair well with activewear, jeans, or smart casual attire. * Care: 1. Cleaning the Leather: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher grime, wipe with a damp cloth. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. 2. Maintaining GORE-TEX: Do not use oil-based cleaners or conditioners on the GORE-TEX membrane as this can impair breathability. If the outer water repellency diminishes, use a GORE-TEX approved re-proofing spray. 3. Drying: If wet, stuff with newspaper and allow to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather. 4. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the premium leather supple and prevent cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. 5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
