FAQs
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear the Polden Moc in heavy rain. Suede and canvas are porous materials and can be damaged by water. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then treat them with a suede brush and protectant.
Are the insoles removable for custom orthotics?
Yes, the Clarks Polden Moc features a removable Contour Cushion footbed, making it compatible with most custom orthotics if you prefer.
How do I clean the red suede without damaging the color?
For red suede, use a specialized suede cleaner designed for colored suedes to prevent color fading or discoloration. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Regular brushing with a suede brush is also key to maintaining its appearance.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
The Polden Moc can be worn with a variety of socks, from no-show socks for a more minimalist look to traditional dress or casual socks, depending on your outfit and the weather. Ensure socks are breathable to enhance comfort.
Is the C360 EVA sole durable for everyday wear?
Yes, the C360 EVA sole is designed to be ultra-lightweight and soft while providing good durability for everyday smart-casual wear. Like all soles, its lifespan depends on usage and terrain.
What does the embossed Glastonbury Tor logo signify?
The embossed Glastonbury Tor logo is a subtle nod to Clarks' British heritage and its roots in Somerset, England, where Glastonbury Tor is a notable landmark. It adds an authentic touch to the design.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel tired or uncomfortable after extended wear.
While the Contour Cushion footbed offers excellent comfort, ensure the laces are not too tight, which can restrict circulation. If discomfort persists, consider removing the footbed and trying a custom orthotic for personalized arch support, as the footbed is removable.
The red suede and canvas upper is showing dirt or minor scuffs.
For dirt and light scuffs on suede, use a suede brush to restore the nap and a suede eraser for marks. For canvas, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede/canvas cleaner. Always let the shoes air dry naturally after cleaning.
The shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the authentic laces. If they feel too loose, tighten them evenly from the toe up. If too tight, loosen them to allow more room. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the size consistently feels off, refer to Clarks' sizing guide or consider trying a half size up or down.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your Clarks Polden Moc shoes, simply loosen the laces and insert your foot. Adjust the laces to a comfortable tension, ensuring the shoe feels snug but not overly tight across the instep and around the ankle. The heel pull tab can assist in guiding your foot smoothly into the shoe. Take a few steps to confirm the fit, making sure there's adequate room in the toe box and your heel doesn't slip excessively.
Compatibility
These Polden Moc shoes are designed for adult males and are highly versatile for smart-casual dressing. They pair excellently with:
- Chinos and a button-down shirt for a polished yet relaxed look.
- Jeans and a t-shirt for an elevated casual ensemble.
- Shorts (weather permitting) for a stylish summer outfit.
- They are suitable for various occasions, including office wear (where smart-casual is acceptable), social gatherings, weekend outings, and light travel.
Care
Maintaining the premium red suede and canvas upper is crucial for longevity and appearance:
- Brush Regularly: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust from both suede and canvas surfaces. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning (Suede): For minor marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the stain. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner foam or spray can be applied, following product instructions.
- Spot Cleaning (Canvas): For canvas areas, a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of gentle soap can be applied with a soft brush or cloth. Gently rub the stained area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Avoid Water: Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage both suede and canvas. If they get wet, blot excess water with a clean cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for both suede and canvas before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps create a barrier against spills and environmental elements.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
