FAQs
How do I clean the grey suede material?
For light dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush. For tougher stains, gently use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow shoes to air dry completely.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
No, the suede material is not water-resistant and is prone to damage and staining from moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in rainy or wet conditions.
What does C360 EVA sole mean for comfort?
The C360 EVA sole is engineered to be ultra-soft and lightweight, providing superior cushioning and shock absorption. This reduces impact on your feet and joints, offering enhanced comfort throughout the day.
Do these Polden Moc shoes run true to size (UK 7.5)?
Clarks shoes generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both for the best fit.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are authentic and can be replaced if needed. You can use standard shoelaces of a similar length and style to maintain the original aesthetic.
What is the Glastonbury Tor logo?
The Glastonbury Tor logo is an embossed detail that signifies a connection to Clarks' heritage and origin in Somerset, UK, adding an authentic and unique touch to the shoe's design.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or flattened.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to lift fibers and remove surface dust.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the authentic laces. Loosen them for more room, or tighten them for a more secure fit. Allow a short break-in period for the material to mold to your foot.
Suede has a water mark or stain.
Allow the mark to dry naturally. For water marks, a light brushing with a suede brush may help. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes are squeaking during wear.
Check if the insole is properly seated. If not, remove and reinsert it. If the squeaking persists, a light application of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole can sometimes resolve the issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a suede brush to gently remove debris. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
