FAQs
What does 'C360 EVA sole' mean?
The C360 EVA sole is Clarks' proprietary lightweight and ultra-soft Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate sole. It's engineered to provide exceptional cushioning, flexibility, and comfort for the wearer throughout the day.
How should I clean the grey suede of my Polden Moc shoes?
To clean grey suede, first use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For minor stains, gently rub with a suede eraser. For more significant cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, and always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather conditions?
Suede is not naturally water-resistant. It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing the shoes in damp or wet conditions. Avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to preserve the material's quality.
What is the significance of the 'Embossed Glastonbury Tor logo'?
The embossed Glastonbury Tor logo is a subtle design detail that pays homage to Clarks' deep roots and heritage in Somerset, England, where the iconic Glastonbury Tor is located. It represents a connection to the brand's origins.
Can I replace the laces on my Clarks Polden Moc?
Yes, the authentic laces are designed to be replaceable. If they become worn or if you wish to customize the look of your shoes, you can easily find suitable replacement laces.
How do I ensure I get the best fit for my 11 UK size?
The Polden Moc in 11 UK corresponds to standard adult male UK shoe sizing. The authentic laces allow you to adjust the fit. Lace them up to be comfortably snug, providing support without causing any pressure points. Allow for a short break-in period for the suede to conform to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dull
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Always brush in one direction to revive its texture and appearance.
Water spots or light stains on the suede
Allow the shoes to dry completely and naturally. Once dry, gently buff the affected area with a suede eraser or the rubber side of a suede brush. For tougher spots, a professional suede cleaner may be needed.
Laces frequently come untied during wear
Ensure you are tying a secure knot, such as a square knot. For extra security during active periods, a double knot can be used.
Shoes feel tight or slightly uncomfortable initially
Suede material often requires a brief break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations at first to allow the material to conform to your foot shape. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, not overly tight, fit.

Care
Maintaining the premium suede material is crucial for longevity and appearance:

- Regular Cleaning: For surface dirt and dust, use a dedicated suede brush. Gently brush in one direction to restore the nap of the suede.
- Stain Removal: For more stubborn marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the stain. For liquid stains, allow to dry completely, then brush or use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help absorb moisture and preserve their original shape.
