FAQs
How should I clean the Grey Canvas material?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and cool water solution with a soft cloth or brush, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
Are the Clarks Polden Moc true to size?
Clarks shoes generally run true to UK sizing. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially given the removable footbed allows for some personalization.
Can I replace the original laces?
Yes, the authentic laces can be replaced if they become worn or if you wish to change the look. Clarks typically offers replacement laces or you can use standard shoe laces of similar length and style.
What is the 'Contour Cushion' footbed?
The Contour Cushion footbed is an ergonomic design by Clarks that provides targeted cushioning and support where your foot needs it most, enhancing comfort throughout the day. It is removable for versatility.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
The canvas material of the Polden Moc is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material and ensure foot comfort. Consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for fabric shoes.
What kind of outfits do these shoes complement best?
The Grey Canvas Polden Mocs are highly versatile. They pair well with casual outfits like jeans, chinos, and shorts, as well as smart-casual ensembles such as tailored trousers and a button-down shirt. Their classic design offers a refined touch to everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable after wearing them for a while.
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose. The Contour Cushion footbed provides support, but if discomfort persists, try airing out the footbed or consider if custom orthotics (if used) are properly inserted.
The canvas appears dirty or stained.
Follow the 'Cleaning Canvas' instructions in the Care & Maintenance section. For stubborn stains, specialized canvas cleaners may be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
The shoes feel too warm in hot weather.
While canvas is breathable, if warmth is an issue, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking cotton). Remove the footbed occasionally to air out the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
- Lacing: Upon receiving your Polden Mocs, ensure the authentic laces are tied securely but not too tightly. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around your foot.
- Break-in Period: While generally comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period, wearing them for shorter durations initially to adapt to your foot's shape.
- Footbed Adjustment: Experiment with the removable Contour Cushion footbed. If you have custom orthotics, remove the existing footbed and insert yours.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a fabric protector spray designed for canvas shoes to help repel water and stains before the first wear.
Compatibility
- Attire: Best suited for casual to smart-casual outfits. Pair them with jeans, chinos, shorts, linen trousers, or even casual suits.
- Environment: Ideal for dry, urban, or semi-urban environments. Less suitable for heavy rain or rugged outdoor activities due to the canvas material.
- Season: Excellent for spring, summer, and early autumn due to the breathable canvas.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning Canvas:
- Brush off loose dirt: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove any dry mud or dust.
- Spot clean: Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with cool water. Dip a clean cloth or soft brush into the solution and gently scrub stained areas. Avoid saturating the canvas.
- Rinse: Wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth (water only) to remove soap residue.
- Air Dry: Stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Footbed Care: Periodically remove the Contour Cushion footbeds to air them out, which helps prevent odor. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
- Lace Care: If laces become worn or dirty, they can be hand-washed or replaced with new authentic Clarks laces.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape during storage if desired.
