FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense workouts?
No, the Motion Trek LX is designed as a sports-inspired casual shoe for athleisure and light walking. It is not engineered for the high impact or specialized support required for running or intense athletic activities.
How should I clean the leather upper?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While it can withstand light moisture, it's not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather.
Do these shoes come with removable insoles?
While the shoe features integrated comfort technology, the insoles are generally not designed to be easily removed or replaced. The Motion Tread Technology is built into the overall sole unit for optimal support.
What kind of traction can I expect from the outsole?
The Motion Trek LX features a grippy rubber outsole that provides excellent traction on a variety of urban and light outdoor surfaces, including pavements, indoor floors, and dry paths. It offers reliable stability for everyday wear.
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks shoes are generally known for fitting true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are unsure, it's always best to consult a Clarks sizing chart or try them on.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace tension. For tightness, loosen the lower laces slightly. For looseness, tighten the laces more firmly, ensuring even pressure across the foot. Consider trying different lacing patterns if standard lacing doesn't provide the desired comfort.
Squeaking sound when walking
A common cause can be the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is separating, though this is rare for new shoes.
Leather looks dull or dry
Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Once dry, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream, rubbing it in gently with a soft cloth. This will restore moisture and luster to the leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Environment: Best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Not recommended for heavy rain, muddy terrains, or demanding sports.
Care
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes get wet or are exposed to dry environments.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry them away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Outsole Care: Brush off any accumulated dirt or debris from the rubber outsole to maintain optimal traction.
