FAQs
What type of activities are the Clarks Motion Trek LX suitable for?
These shoes are best suited for casual wear, light walking, urban exploration, and athleisure activities. They are designed for everyday comfort and style, not high-performance sports.
How do I clean my Motion Trek LX leather shoes?
Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner as needed. For the rubber outsole, use a soft brush and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Motion Trek LX features a leather upper, which is not inherently waterproof. While it offers some natural resistance to light moisture, we recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance in wet conditions.
What is 'Motion Tread Technology'?
Motion Tread Technology is an innovative design feature by Clarks that actively supports your foot's natural walking motion. It's engineered to provide enhanced comfort, flexibility, and a smoother stride throughout your day.
Can I wear these for running or rigorous sports?
No, while they are 'sports-inspired' in aesthetics and comfort, the Motion Trek LX shoes are not designed for running, high-impact sports, or rigorous athletic training. They are intended for casual wear and light activity.
How can I ensure the best fit?
The lace-up closure allows for a customizable fit. Adjust the laces to comfortably secure your foot without being too tight. Ensure there's adequate room in the toe box and your heel doesn't slip excessively when walking.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing in certain areas of the foot
Ensure the shoes are properly laced, not too tight or too loose. Wear appropriate socks for cushioning. If new, allow for a short break-in period. Consider insoles for additional arch support if needed.
Leather appears dull, dry, or has minor scuffs
Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine. For scuffs, use a leather polish matching the shoe's brown colour, buffing gently.
Shoes feel less grippy on certain surfaces than expected
Check the rubber outsole for any embedded dirt or debris, and clean it thoroughly with a brush and water. While the outsole offers excellent traction, always exercise caution on extremely slippery or icy surfaces.
Odour developing inside the shoes
Ensure shoes are fully aired out between wears. Remove insoles if possible and allow them to dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odours.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks Motion Trek LX shoes, proper care is essential, especially given their leather construction:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialised leather cleaner, applying it sparingly according to the product's instructions.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and to prevent cracking. This is particularly important if the shoes get wet or are exposed to dry conditions.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance and guard against stains. Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, maintaining optimal traction.
- Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
