FAQs
How do I clean the grey canvas material?
For general dirt, use a soft brush. For stains, gently dab with a cloth moistened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the canvas and color. Allow to air dry completely.
Can I replace the footbed with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Clarks Polden Moc features a removable Contour Cushion footbed, allowing you to easily insert your preferred custom orthotics or insoles for personalized comfort and support.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
The canvas material of the Polden Moc offers minimal water resistance. They are best suited for dry conditions. For protection, you can apply a canvas-specific water and stain repellent spray, but they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments.
How should I choose the right size?
This particular model is a UK size 11. Clarks generally runs true to size. If you're unsure, measure your foot length and consult a Clarks size chart. Remember to allow for comfortable toe room.
What is the 'archival Clarks design'?
The 'archival Clarks design' refers to the shoe's classic moccasin silhouette, inspired by historical Clarks styles. It embodies a timeless aesthetic and traditional craftsmanship that has been a hallmark of the Clarks brand for decades.
How do I break in these shoes?
The canvas material and Contour Cushion footbed usually require minimal break-in. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. The canvas will soften and conform to your foot's shape over a few wears.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Adjust the lacing to loosen them slightly. If the issue persists, try wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow the canvas to stretch and mold. Remember the footbed is removable, so consider if a different insole would improve comfort.
Canvas has developed a stain.
For fresh stains, gently dab with a clean, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water, and use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the stained area. Blot dry with a clean towel and allow to air dry completely.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying the laces securely. Try a double knot for added security. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of a similar style and length.
Feet feel hot or sweaty in the shoes.
The canvas material is generally breathable. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking). If the issue persists, ensure the shoes are airing out properly between wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Upon receiving, ensure the authentic laces are tied securely but not too tightly. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around your foot.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes around your home for a few hours to allow the canvas and footbed to begin molding to your foot shape.
Compatibility
- Attire: The Grey Canvas Polden Moc is highly versatile for casual wear. It pairs well with a variety of outfits including denim jeans, chinos, linen trousers, and shorts. Its relaxed aesthetic makes it suitable for smart-casual events, daily wear, or weekend activities.
- Foot Type: The removable Contour Cushion footbed makes these shoes adaptable. If you require custom orthotics or specific arch support, you can easily remove the existing footbed and insert your preferred insoles.
Care
- Cleaning Canvas: For light dirt or dust, use a soft brush or a dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. For stains, mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with cool water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution, wring it out well, and gently dab the stained area. Avoid saturating the canvas.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a canvas-specific protective spray to help repel water and stains, especially before initial wear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain shape.
