FAQs

How do I properly clean the grey suede material?

For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, gently use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

No, suede is not naturally water-resistant. We strongly recommend avoiding wet conditions to protect the material. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance but will not make them waterproof.

Do I need to break in the Polden Moc shoes?

Thanks to the ultra-soft C360 EVA sole, these shoes are designed for comfort from day one. However, like any new footwear, a short break-in period during light activities can help them conform perfectly to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

These shoes are versatile. You can wear them with no-show socks for a casual, sockless look, or with thin dress socks for a smarter appearance. Comfort is key, so choose socks that feel best for you and complement your outfit.

Are the Polden Moc shoes true to size?

Clarks footwear generally runs true to size. For this specific model, a UK size 9 is provided. If you typically wear a UK size 9, this should be an accurate fit. We recommend consulting a Clarks sizing chart if you are unsure.

What is the C360 EVA sole?

The C360 EVA sole is Clarks' advanced lightweight and ultra-soft Ethylene-vinyl acetate sole technology. It's engineered to provide superior cushioning, flexibility, and shock absorption for enhanced comfort throughout the day, adapting to your foot's movement.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the authentic laces are designed to be replaced if needed. You can find replacement laces of a similar style, color, and length to maintain the shoe's original look and secure fit. Ensure they are the correct length for a comfortable tie.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For set-in stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution following its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel loose or don't provide enough support.

Adjust the authentic laces. Ensure they are tied securely for a personalized, snug fit across the top of your foot to improve stability and comfort.

Suede nap looks flat or matted.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to lift and restore the natural texture and nap of the material.

Difficulty putting shoes on.

Fully loosen the laces before attempting to put the shoes on. Utilize the integrated heel pull tab to guide your foot into the shoe smoothly without creasing the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Upon receiving your Polden Mocs, unlace them sufficiently before inserting your foot. This prevents strain on the material.
  2. Adjust Fit: Insert your foot and adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure your heel sits securely in the heel cup.
  3. Use Heel Pull: Utilize the integrated heel pull tab to assist in pulling the shoe on without creasing or damaging the back.

Compatibility

  • Sizing: These Polden Mocs are designed for adult males and are a UK size 9.
  • Style: Their classic aesthetic makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing, including denim, chinos, tailored shorts, and light trousers.
  • Environment: Best suited for dry environments due to the suede material's susceptibility to water.

Care

  • Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  • Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks or liquid stains, gently rub with a suede eraser. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution, following the product's instructions carefully.
  • Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store your Polden Mocs in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
