FAQs
How do I clean the white canvas material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Lightly scrub with a clean cloth, then rinse by dabbing with a damp cloth. Air dry away from direct heat.
Is the Contour Cushion footbed removable?
Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is designed to be removable. This allows for easy cleaning or the insertion of personal orthotics if desired.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Clarks Polden Moc comes in a `regular fit`. While it might accommodate some foot shapes, individuals with particularly wide feet may find it snug. It's recommended to try them on or check Clarks' specific sizing guides for wide fit options.
Can I wear these in the rain?
As these shoes are made from breathable canvas, they are not waterproof and offer minimal protection against rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to prevent soaking and potential damage.
What kind of sole do these shoes have?
They feature an `ultrasoft and lightweight C360 EVA sole` that is 4 cm high, providing cushioning and comfort.
Do I need to break them in?
While the Contour Cushion footbed offers immediate comfort, some initial wear might be beneficial to allow the canvas upper to conform to your foot shape for optimal personalization.
Troubleshooting
White canvas appears dirty quickly
Regularly brush off loose dirt with a dry, soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a clean cloth to gently spot clean. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly and not too tight. Check that the removable Contour Cushion footbed is seated correctly. If discomfort persists, verify your size; Clarks Polden Moc comes in a `regular fit`.
Footbed slides around inside the shoe
Remove the footbed and ensure there's no debris underneath. Reinsert it, pressing firmly to seat it properly. If it continues to slide, contact customer support or visit a Clarks store.
Squeaking sound from the sole
A squeak can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the footbed and the sole, or if the sole is very new. Try removing the footbed, cleaning the inside, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch to reduce friction. If it persists, ensure the footbed is dry before reinsertion.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the pristine look of white canvas shoes is key to their longevity and aesthetic.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a soft brush or a dry cloth to gently wipe the canvas surface. For tougher spots, create a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent or dedicated canvas cleaner. Use a clean cloth or soft brush to gently scrub the stained area.
- Spot Treatment: For isolated stains, immediately blot the area with a damp cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. A gentle stain remover formulated for fabric can be used, following product instructions carefully.
- Drying: After cleaning, always allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as these can yellow the canvas or damage the sole material. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Footbed Care: The `removable Contour Cushion footbed` can be taken out and wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Lace Care: Laces can be hand-washed separately with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
- Storage: Store your Polden Mocs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, especially during off-season storage.
- Avoid Waterlogging: As they are canvas, these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.
