FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

While they feature a sports-inspired design and offer excellent comfort for walking, the Motion Trek LX sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and light walking, not high-impact activities or intensive sports.

How do I determine my correct size?

We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. For the most accurate fit, please refer to our detailed sizing chart [Info needed: Add link to sizing chart] on the product page, or visit a Clarks store for a professional fitting.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light splashes, we advise applying a leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance if you anticipate wearing them in rainy or very damp conditions.

What is Motion Tread Technology?

Motion Tread Technology is an advanced design feature integrated into the outsole and midsole. It is engineered to support your foot's natural walking motion, providing superior comfort, flexibility, and stability during everyday activities.

How often should I condition the leather upper?

The frequency of conditioning depends on how often you wear the shoes and the environmental conditions. As a general guideline, conditioning every 1-2 months should be sufficient to keep the leather soft, prevent drying, and maintain its appearance.

Are the insoles removable for custom orthotics?

Info needed: Please check the specific product description or consult with customer support to confirm if the insoles in the Motion Trek LX are designed to be removable and replaceable with custom orthotics.

Will the white sole get dirty easily?

As with any light-colored sole, it may show dirt more readily. We recommend wiping the sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed) to keep it clean and preserve the shoe's fresh appearance.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner using a circular motion. Buff gently with a clean, dry cloth to restore shine and suppleness.

Shoes feel too tight or loose during wear

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot, providing a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if necessary, or consider trying a thinner/thicker sock.

Squeaking sound while walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe to reduce friction. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.

Setup

Getting started with your Motion Trek LX sneakers is straightforward:

  1. Unlacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot into the shoe.
  2. Fitting: Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
  3. Lacing: Gently pull the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit across the top of your foot. Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict circulation. Adjust until the shoes feel secure without pinching.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile, designed to complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are an excellent match for:

  • Denim jeans or shorts
  • Chinos or casual trousers
  • Cargo pants
  • Casual button-down shirts, t-shirts, or polos

Care

Given the premium leather upper, proper care is crucial for maintaining the appearance and extending the lifespan of your Motion Trek LX sneakers:

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 1-2 months, or as needed, to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out and cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains, especially if you plan to wear them in varying weather conditions.
  • Drying: If your shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
