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.

Care
