FAQs
What kind of activities is the Motion Trek LX best suited for?
The Motion Trek LX is designed for everyday casual wear, urban commuting, light walking, and athleisure activities. Its comfort features make it ideal for prolonged periods on your feet.
How do I clean the blue leather on these shoes?
For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain the leather's appearance and suppleness. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the Motion Trek LX is not waterproof. It is made of leather, which offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but it is not designed to be submerged or worn in heavy rain without additional waterproofing treatment.
Can I use these shoes for running or intense sports?
While sports-inspired, the Motion Trek LX is not designed for high-performance athletic activities like running, jogging, or intense sports. It is intended for casual wear and light activity.
What is Motion Tread Technology?
Motion Tread Technology is a design feature that supports your foot's natural walking motion, providing a more comfortable and effortless stride. It works in conjunction with the rocker heel for smooth heel-to-toe movement.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Clarks shoes are generally designed to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are unsure, it's always best to try them on to ensure the perfect fit.
What materials are used in the Motion Trek LX?
The upper is crafted from premium leather. It features a lightweight, impact-absorbing EVA midsole and a grippy rubber outsole for traction and durability.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the laces to be looser, especially across the instep. Wear with appropriate socks (not too thick or thin) to see if it improves comfort. Give the leather a short break-in period to conform to your foot.
The leather is scuffed or marked.
For light scuffs, a soft, dry cloth can sometimes buff them out. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner or a specialized leather repair cream in a matching color. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
My feet feel sweaty or the shoes feel hot.
Leather can be less breathable than some synthetic materials. Ensure you wear moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. If possible, alternate between different pairs of shoes.
The outsole feels slippery.
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or icy surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. If the shoes are new, the outsole may need a short break-in period to achieve full grip.
The shoes are making a squeaking noise.
Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. If the squeak persists, it might be the outsole, which can sometimes be resolved with wear or by ensuring the shoes are completely dry.

Setup & Fit

- Adjusting the Fit: Loosen the laces completely before putting on the shoe. Once your foot is comfortably inside, tighten the laces from bottom to top, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Tie a secure knot.
- Break-In Period: Like most leather footwear, allow a short break-in period for the leather to mold to your foot for optimal comfort.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Motion Trek LX shoes, follow these care guidelines for leather:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after wear.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes get wet or appear dry.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
