FAQs
How do I clean my grey suede Polden Mocs?
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution, following the product's instructions. Always let them air dry naturally.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the grey suede material is not inherently waterproof. It's recommended to apply a suede protector spray to offer some resistance against light moisture, but avoid heavy rain or puddles.
What does 'C360 EVA sole' mean?
C360 EVA refers to a type of Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) sole that is engineered to be ultra-soft, lightweight, and provide 360-degree comfort and cushioning around your foot for superior shock absorption.
Can I wear these shoes with formal attire?
The Clarks Polden Moc, with its suede material and moccasin style, is generally best suited for casual or smart-casual outfits. For more formal occasions, a polished leather shoe would be more appropriate.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The authentic laces allow for a personalized fit. Adjust them to be snug but not uncomfortably tight across your foot. The heel pull also helps ensure your foot is properly seated.
What is the Glastonbury Tor logo?
The Glastonbury Tor logo is an embossed detail on the shoe, referencing a historical landmark near Clarks' origins in Street, Somerset, UK. It signifies the brand's heritage.
Is the Grey Suede color durable?
Suede, while durable in terms of wear, requires care to maintain its aesthetic, especially lighter colors like grey. Regular cleaning and protection will help preserve its appearance over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to lift dirt and restore nap. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the authentic laces. Loosen or tighten them evenly across the vamp to achieve your desired secure and personalized fit.
Shoes are getting wet and stained easily.
Ensure you have applied a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing and reapply regularly, especially in damp conditions. Avoid heavy rain.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear.
While designed for comfort, ensure the lacing is not too tight. Consider wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, an aftermarket insole might provide additional support, though the C360 EVA sole is highly cushioned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
- Lacing: Upon first wear, untie the laces fully and insert your foot. Tighten the laces evenly from the toes upwards to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. Double knot if desired for extra security.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period (a few hours of wear) for the shoe to fully conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility
- Attire: Best paired with casual and smart-casual outfits such as jeans, chinos, corduroys, and tailored shorts. Its grey suede finish offers versatility with various color palettes.
- Occasions: Suitable for everyday errands, casual work environments, social gatherings, weekend trips, and light outdoor activities.
Care for Grey Suede
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a suede brush to gently brush in one direction. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, then brush once dry.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain shape and prevent creasing. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade the suede color.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
