FAQs
Are the Clarks Motion Trek LX shoes waterproof?
The Motion Trek LX features a leather upper, which is naturally water-resistant but not fully waterproof. We recommend using a water and stain protector specifically for leather to enhance their resistance to moisture and protect against splashes.
Can I use these shoes for running or intense workouts?
No, the Motion Trek LX shoes are designed for athleisure and casual everyday wear, not for high-performance running or intense athletic activities. Their Motion Tread Technology is optimized for natural walking comfort and support.
How do I clean the leather upper of my Motion Trek LX shoes?
To clean, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth or brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is Motion Tread Technology?
Motion Tread Technology is an innovative feature integrated into the outsole and midsole of the shoe. It's engineered to support and enhance your foot's natural walking motion, providing superior comfort, flexibility, and energy return with every step.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The lace closure allows for a custom fit. Adjust the laces to be snug across your foot without being too tight, ensuring your heel feels secure without slipping. It's often best to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly expanded.
Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?
Their leather construction makes them suitable for most seasons. However, in very hot climates, the leather might feel warmer than mesh alternatives. For cold, wet conditions, additional protection (like a waterproof spray) and warm socks are recommended.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug, but not overly tight, fit.
The leather looks dull or dry.
Clean the shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This will help moisturize the leather and restore its natural sheen.
I'm experiencing less grip than expected.
Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. For new shoes, ensure the soles are clean. For older shoes, significant wear might reduce traction, indicating it's time for replacement.
The laces come untied frequently.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of a suitable length and material.
My feet feel hot or sweaty.
While leather offers some breathability, ensure you're wearing appropriate socks for the weather conditions. Allowing the shoes to air out between wears can also help. For persistent issues, consider moisture-wicking insoles or foot powder.

Care
As the Motion Trek LX features a leather upper, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This helps maintain the material's natural look and feel.
- Drying: If the 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 or sunlight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain protector specifically designed for leather to add an extra layer of defense against the elements.
