FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the premium navy suede and canvas upper are not inherently waterproof. We highly recommend treating them with a quality suede protector spray before wearing them in damp conditions to help repel water and stains.
How do I clean the navy suede material?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialist suede cleaning product, following the manufacturer's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Can I remove the footbed to use my own orthotics?
Yes, the Clarks Polden Moc features a removable Contour Cushion footbed, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or insoles for personalized support.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The heel height of the Clarks Polden Moc is approximately 3.5cm (1.38 inches).
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks shoes are generally designed to fit true to size based on standard UK shoe measurements. We recommend choosing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are unsure, it is best to refer to a Clarks sizing guide.
What does C360 EVA sole mean?
C360 EVA refers to a type of Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) sole that is ultra-soft and lightweight, designed to provide 360-degree comfort and flexibility for a light-as-a-cloud feeling with every step.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers and revive the texture.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. Over time, laces can stretch; consider replacing them if they become worn or too smooth to hold a knot.
Shoes feel too tight or loose after initial wear.
Adjust the lacing. Ensure you've tightened them evenly across the foot. If still uncomfortable, verify you have the correct size, as the removable footbed is designed for lasting comfort.
Minor scuffs or marks on the suede.
Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser. For stubborn marks, a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied according to instructions can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Upon first wear, adjust the authentic laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit around your foot. Ensure the tongue sits flat and the laces are evenly tightened to prevent pressure points. Double-knot for extra security if preferred.
- Break-In Period: While the Contour Cushion footbed offers immediate comfort, a short break-in period may help the shoe fully adapt to your unique foot shape.
Compatibility
- Outfits: Best suited for smart-casual attire. Pairs well with chinos, tailored trousers, dark wash jeans, and casual blazers. The navy suede offers a versatile color that complements a wide range of palettes.
- Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, office casual environments, weekend outings, social gatherings, and travel.
Care Instructions
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions.
- Cleaning Suede: For light dirt or dust, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush in one direction. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions carefully. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can damage the nap.
- Cleaning Canvas: For the canvas sections, a mild soap solution and a soft cloth can be used. Gently dab and wipe, then allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes on the suede.
