FAQs
How do I clean the white canvas material of the Polden Moc shoes?
For minor dirt, gently spot clean with a soft cloth or brush using a mild soap and lukewarm water. For tougher stains, a paste made of baking soda and water can be applied, gently scrubbed, and then wiped clean. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Is the footbed in these shoes removable?
Yes, the Clarks Polden Moc features a removable Contour Cushion footbed, allowing for airing, cleaning, or replacement if desired.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Absolutely. With their removable Contour Cushion footbed and ultra-soft, lightweight C360 EVA sole, these shoes are designed for exceptional all-day comfort and support.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
The canvas material is breathable but not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the shoes and ensure comfort. A water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What kind of sole do these shoes have?
The Clarks Polden Moc features an ultra-soft and lightweight 4 cm high C360 EVA sole, providing superior cushioning and flexibility.
What fit do these shoes offer?
These shoes are designed with a regular fit, offering a comfortable and standard fit for most foot types.
Troubleshooting
White canvas appears dull or dirty quickly.
Regularly spot clean the canvas using a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush. For tougher stains, a baking soda paste can be effective. Consider applying a canvas protector spray after cleaning and drying to repel future dirt.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also experiment with different lacing techniques that provide better tension and security.
Feet feel uncomfortably warm or sweaty.
While the canvas is breathable, ensure you're wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking cotton blends). The removable footbed can be taken out and aired regularly to help with freshness. If needed, consider replacing the footbed with an alternative for enhanced breathability.
Footbed loses its cushioning over time.
The Contour Cushion footbed is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can cause compression. As it is removable, you can air it out regularly or, if significantly worn, purchase a replacement Clarks Contour Cushion footbed or a suitable aftermarket orthotic.

Care Instructions for White Canvas
Maintaining the pristine look of your white canvas shoes requires regular attention:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) and lukewarm water. Gently rub the affected area.
- Deeper Clean: For more stubborn stains, create a paste with baking soda and a small amount of water. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a brush and wipe clean.
- Lace Care: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with soap and water, or place them in a mesh bag for a gentle machine wash.
- Drying: Always air dry your canvas shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause yellowing or damage. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a canvas protector spray to help repel water and stains, applying it periodically as per product instructions.
- Footbed Care: The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be taken out and aired after wear to help reduce odor and prolong its life. Avoid submerging the footbed in water.
