FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, as leather shoes, the Clarks Polden Moc are not designed to be fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable water and stain protector for leather to help repel light moisture, but avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions.
How do I clean the white leather upper?
For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized white leather cleaner and conditioner. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first, and follow the product's instructions carefully.
Is the footbed glued in?
No, the Contour Cushion footbed is designed to be removable. This allows for easy airing, cleaning, or replacement if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made from a lightweight C360 EVA material, which provides excellent cushioning and flexibility for enhanced comfort.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, you should never machine wash leather shoes. The harsh detergents and agitation can damage the leather, stitching, and sole. Always follow the specific care instructions for leather footwear.
How should I store my Polden Moc shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is highly recommended to help them retain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Clarks Polden Moc line is available in various colors and materials. However, this specific guide focuses on the White leather variant.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also explore different lacing techniques that provide a tighter hold.
Footbed feels less supportive or worn out.
The Contour Cushion footbed is removable. Take it out and air it regularly. If significant wear is evident, consider replacing it with a new Clarks footbed or a compatible orthopedic insert.
Leather appears dry, cracked, or stained.
Immediately clean with a suitable leather cleaner for white leather, then apply a quality leather conditioner to rehydrate and protect the material. For stubborn stains, professional leather cleaning may be required.
Shoes feel uncomfortably tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern and tension. Consider the thickness of your socks; thinner or thicker socks can impact fit. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size as per Clarks' sizing guide.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoes.
Remove the Contour Cushion footbed and air it out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and footbed overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure your feet are clean and dry before wearing, and consider rotating shoes daily.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Comfort: The combination of the removable Contour Cushion footbed and lightweight C360 EVA sole provides superior support and cushioning, ideal for extended wear.
- Versatile Smart-Casual Style: Its archival design and clean aesthetic make it suitable for a wide range of smart-casual outfits, from denim to chinos.
- Durable Leather Construction: The high-quality leather upper (for this variant) ensures longevity and a refined appearance that can age beautifully with proper care.
- Distinctive Brand Details: Authentic laces and the subtle debossed Glastonbury Tor logo add unique character and showcase Clarks' craftsmanship.
Cons
- Material-Specific Care: As a leather shoe, it requires dedicated cleaning, conditioning, and protection to maintain its quality and appearance, unlike canvas variants.
- Not Water-Resistant: Leather shoes are not inherently designed for heavy rain or wet conditions and should be protected to prevent damage.
- Fit Preference: While designed as a regular fit, individual foot shapes and comfort preferences may necessitate trying on to ensure the best fit.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Thread the authentic cotton laces through the eyelets, ensuring a comfortable but snug fit. You may need to adjust the lacing pattern to best suit your foot shape.
- First Wear: Wear your Polden Moc shoes around the house for a short period to allow the leather to soften and the footbed to conform to your feet. This helps prevent discomfort during initial use.
Compatibility
- Fit: The Clarks Polden Moc is designed with a `regular fit`. For precise sizing, refer to the official Clarks size guide or try on a pair to confirm your ideal size (UK 10 in this instance).
- Style: These shoes are highly versatile for smart-casual wardrobes, pairing well with chinos, jeans, tailored shorts, and casual trousers.
Care & Maintenance (for Leather Upper)
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt and dust after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for white leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks (or as needed) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is crucial for maintaining the material's integrity and appearance.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain protector specifically designed for leather shoes. While not waterproof, this will help repel light moisture and prevent stains.
- Drying: If the 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 your Polden Moc shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases.
- Footbed Care: The `removable Contour Cushion footbed` can be taken out and aired regularly to maintain freshness and prolong its lifespan. If it becomes heavily soiled, it can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.
