FAQs

How do I clean the canvas material of these shoes?

For light dirt, brush off with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth, gently scrub, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Is the footbed truly removable?

Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is designed to be easily removed. This allows for cleaning, airing out the shoes, or inserting personal orthotics for custom comfort.

What does 'Contour Cushion' mean for comfort?

Clarks' Contour Cushion footbed is anatomically sculpted to provide targeted support and cushioning, conforming to the natural shape of your foot to promote natural foot alignment and deliver all-day comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

Due to the canvas material, these shoes offer limited water resistance. They are best suited for dry conditions and should be avoided in heavy rain or wet environments to prevent damage and discomfort.

How accurate is the sizing for the Clarks Polden Moc?

Clarks shoes typically run true to size. This model is a UK size 6.5 for adult males. If you are unsure, it's recommended to consult a Clarks sizing guide or try them on.

Can I wear these shoes without socks?

Yes, these shoes are designed to be comfortably worn with or without socks, depending on your personal preference and the weather. The breathable canvas adds to comfort without socks.

What kind of heel does this shoe have?

The shoe features a classic, subtle heel that contributes to its traditional design and stable, comfortable wear. It's not a high heel but provides a slight lift.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

Ensure laces are tied correctly for a secure fit, not too tight or too loose. The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be taken out to air or to accommodate custom orthotics if needed for personalized support and comfort.

The grey canvas looks dirty or stained.

Brush off loose dirt first. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush, gently scrubbing the area. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

The shoes feel too loose or too tight.

Adjust the authentic laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. If they still feel too loose, consider wearing thicker socks. If too tight, check that the footbed is properly seated, or try thinner socks.

The shoes make a squeaking sound when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by the removable Contour Cushion footbed rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the footbed, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the footbed.

The canvas appears to be fading.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. When cleaning, use mild solutions and allow to air dry naturally, away from harsh heat sources. A UV-protective canvas spray may also help preserve the color.

  • Requires Specific Care: The canvas material may need particular cleaning methods to maintain its appearance and prevent staining.

Care Instructions

  1. General Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, gently brush off loose debris using a soft-bristled brush (e.g., an old toothbrush).
  2. Spot Cleaning Canvas: Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water. Dab the solution onto stains or dirty areas with a clean cloth or soft brush. Gently scrub the affected area in circular motions.
  3. Rinsing: Wipe away any soap residue thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid saturating the canvas directly under running water.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can cause fading or damage. You can stuff the shoes with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  5. Footbed Care: The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be taken out periodically to air dry, especially if it becomes damp. If cleaning the footbed, use a mild soap and water solution, rinse lightly, and allow it to dry fully before reinserting.
  6. Protection: Consider applying a canvas protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains, extending the shoe's life and appearance.
