FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

Suede is not naturally waterproof. It is highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray to your Polden Moc Derby shoes to help repel water and prevent stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

How do I clean the blue suede?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or a cleaner designed for colored suede is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.

Is the footbed removable?

Yes, the Polden Moc Derby features a removable Contour Cushion footbed, allowing for easy cleaning or the insertion of personal orthotics if desired.

What is the sole height?

The shoes feature an ultra-soft and lightweight C360 EVA sole with a height of 4cm, providing both comfort and a subtle lift.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are authentic cotton laces and can be replaced with standard shoe laces of a similar style and length to maintain the original look, or customize if preferred.

Are these shoes true to size?

Clarks generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit, as these shoes are designed for a regular fit. If unsure, refer to a Clarks sizing guide.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dust. Brush consistently in one direction.

Stains on suede

For fresh stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. For oil stains, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder, let it sit overnight, then brush off.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the authentic laces. The lacing system allows for a personalized fit. Ensure you're wearing the correct size and socks.

Squeaking sound while walking

Remove the Contour Cushion footbed and check if the squeaking stops. If it does, a light dusting of baby powder under the footbed might help. Also check for debris caught in the outsole.

Sole has reduced grip

Clean the rubber sole to remove any embedded dirt or debris. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing on slippery surfaces. If significant wear is visible, consider replacement or repair by a professional cobbler.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your suede shoes:

  1. Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and reapply periodically to guard against moisture and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede eraser.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a suede cleaner product following the manufacturer's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture.
