Product Information

Full details

The Clarks Polden Moc Derby is designed for men who value classic style and all-day comfort. Its key win is the blend of distinctive archival design with modern comfort features like the removable Contour Cushion footbed, making it ideal for both casual and smart-casual occasions. A minor consideration is that the green suede material requires specific care to maintain its appearance, making it less suitable for harsh weather conditions.

FAQs

How do I protect my green suede Polden Moc Derby shoes from water and stains?

Before wearing them for the first time, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions to maintain protection against moisture and stains.

Can the Contour Cushion footbed be removed?

Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is removable. This feature allows for easy cleaning, airing, or replacement with custom orthotics if preferred.

Are these shoes suitable for all-weather wear?

Due to their suede material, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Suede can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water or mud. Always apply a protector spray and avoid heavy rain or snow.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture, extending their lifespan.

What is the best way to clean the laces?

The laces can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried. If they are heavily soiled or worn, replacing them can refresh the look of your shoes.

Are these shoes true to size?

Clarks shoes typically run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If you are unsure, it's always recommended to consult a sizing guide or try them on to ensure the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner as directed, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or tight

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If the discomfort persists, try wearing them for shorter periods to break them in. The removable Contour Cushion footbed can also be replaced with a custom orthotic if needed.

Laces keep coming undone

Ensure you are using a proper knot, such as a double knot or a 'reef knot' (square knot) for better security. Check if laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are too slick or frayed.

Shoes got wet and look discolored

Blot any excess moisture immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Stuff the shoes with crumpled newspaper to absorb internal moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore the nap.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your green suede Polden Moc Derbys.

  1. Water & Stain Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. Reapply periodically as per product instructions. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and loose dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution following the product's directions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying Wet Suede: If the shoes get wet, blot excess moisture with a clean cloth. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb internal moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  6. Avoid: Do not use water or harsh chemicals directly on suede as it can stain or damage the material.
