FAQs
How often should I clean my suede Polden Moc Derbies?
Regular cleaning with a suede brush after each wear is recommended to remove surface dust. Deep cleaning and re-application of protector spray should be done every few months, or as needed, depending on usage and exposure to elements.
Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?
Suede is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray helps repel light moisture, it's best to avoid wearing your Polden Moc Derbies in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining and damage to the material.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are authentic and replaceable. You can use standard shoe laces of a similar style and length to refresh the look of your shoes.
Is the Contour Cushion footbed truly removable?
Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is designed to be easily removable. This allows for cleaning, airing out, or replacement with custom orthotics if preferred, ensuring personalized comfort and hygiene.
How do I ensure the olive suede color remains vibrant?
To maintain the vibrant olive color, regularly clean the suede to prevent dirt buildup that can dull the shade. Store the shoes away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consider using a suede color restorer specifically designed for green tones, if needed, after testing in an inconspicuous area.
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks shoes are generally known for being true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the removable Contour Cushion footbed allows for some internal adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied with a damp cloth can be effective. Always let the shoe dry completely before re-brushing.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the authentic laces for an optimal fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If persistent, verify your shoe size against Clarks' sizing guide, especially if your foot size has changed over time.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This can sometimes be caused by the removable footbed. Try removing the Contour Cushion footbed, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the footbed. This can reduce friction.
Water spots on suede.
If the shoes get wet, blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn watermarks, a very light, even mist of water over the entire shoe, followed by drying and brushing, can sometimes help.

Care Instructions for Olive Suede
Maintaining the premium olive suede requires specific attention to preserve its appearance and longevity:
- Protection: Before the first wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher marks, brush back and forth.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat, as this can damage the suede. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
