FAQs

Can I machine wash these white canvas shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and materials. Please refer to the 'Care for White Canvas' section for detailed manual cleaning instructions.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

The canvas material is not inherently water-resistant. While they can handle light splashes, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or excessively wet conditions to preserve the shoe's appearance and integrity. Consider a water-repellent spray specifically designed for canvas for added protection.

What is the 'Contour Cushion' footbed?

The Contour Cushion footbed is an innovative Clarks technology designed for superior underfoot comfort and support. It's anatomically shaped to cradle and support the natural contours of your foot, providing cushioning and stability throughout the day.

Are the laces purely decorative or fully functional?

The authentic laces on the Clarks Polden Moc are fully functional. They allow you to adjust the fit of the shoe, ensuring it's snug and secure on your foot for optimal comfort and support.

How do I maintain the white color and prevent yellowing of the canvas?

To prevent yellowing, always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or harsh heat sources after cleaning. Stuffing them with white paper towels while drying can also help absorb moisture and maintain their shape without transferring unwanted color.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Clarks shoes are generally known for running true to size. For the Polden Moc, we recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size, which for this specific product is UK 6 for men. If you are unsure or between sizes, it is often advisable to consult a sizing guide or try them on.

Troubleshooting

My white canvas shoes are stained or look dirty quickly.

Regularly spot clean with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, follow the detailed care instructions in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section. Consider applying a canvas protector spray to help repel future stains.

The laces keep coming undone during wear.

Ensure you are tying a proper, secure knot, such as a square knot, which holds better than a granny knot. For extra security during active periods, you can double-knot the laces.

My feet feel uncomfortable after long wear, despite the Contour Cushion footbed.

While the Contour Cushion provides excellent support, personal foot shapes vary. Ensure the shoes are properly broken in by wearing them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, remember the footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics if recommended by a foot health professional.

The shoes feel too stiff when I first wear them.

New canvas shoes may feel a bit stiff initially. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot's shape. The authentic laces can also be adjusted to relieve any initial pressure points.

Care for White Canvas

  1. Spot Cleaning: For small marks or scuffs, use a soft brush or clean cloth with a mild soap solution (such as diluted dish soap or a dedicated canvas cleaner) and gently scrub the affected area. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth, avoiding oversaturation.
  2. Deeper Cleaning: For overall cleaning, mix a small amount of mild detergent with lukewarm water. Use a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) to gently scrub the entire canvas upper in small circular motions.
  3. Rinsing: Wipe down thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth to remove all soap residue. It's crucial to remove all soap to prevent yellowing.
  4. Drying: Stuff the shoes with white paper towels or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause yellowing or damage to the canvas.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a canvas protector spray after cleaning and drying to help repel water and stains, offering an extra layer of defense.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash, as this can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and materials.
  7. Footbed Care: The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be aired out regularly. If it needs cleaning, wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
