FAQs
How do I clean the premium cola suede and canvas upper?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. For canvas, a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft brush, then air dry. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Is the Contour Cushion footbed removable?
Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is removable, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if desired.
What kind of sole does the Polden Moc feature?
It features an ultra-soft and lightweight C360 EVA sole, designed for excellent cushioning and comfort. EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is known for its shock absorption properties.
What does 'moc toe pattern' mean?
A moc toe (or moccasin toe) pattern refers to the visible seam that runs around the top of the vamp, creating a U-shaped design that resembles traditional moccasin construction. It adds a distinctive, casual-smart aesthetic.
What is the approximate heel height of these shoes?
The heel height of the Polden Moc is approximately 3.5cm (1.38 inches).
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the premium suede offers a stylish look, it is generally not recommended for heavy wet weather as suede can stain or get damaged by water. Consider using a protective spray designed for suede and fabric to offer some resistance against light moisture.
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks typically aims for a true-to-size fit. However, individual foot shapes vary. It's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, utilizing the lacing for a personalized adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull, dirty, or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner following its instructions, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing or water directly.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the authentic lacing system to achieve a secure, personalized fit. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across the foot, providing support without restricting circulation.
Comfort decreases over time or shoes feel less supportive.
Check the removable Contour Cushion footbed. Ensure it is properly seated without creases. If the footbed shows significant wear, consider replacing it with a new, supportive insole (Clarks or compatible).
Shoes make squeaking noises.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the footbed and the sole. Remove the Contour Cushion footbed, clean both surfaces, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. A sprinkle of talcum powder inside the shoe can also sometimes help.

Care Instructions
Maintaining your Polden Moc shoes, especially the suede and canvas components, is crucial for longevity:
- Suede Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner according to the product's instructions, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Canvas Cleaning: For canvas areas, a mild soap and water solution applied with a soft brush can clean most dirt. Blot dry with a clean cloth and allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and fabric before the first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Footbed Care: The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be taken out for airing or hand-washed gently with mild soap and water if needed. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
