FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Clarks Polden Moc is designed for all-day comfort. Its removable Contour Cushion footbed and ultra-lightweight C360 EVA sole provide excellent support and reduce foot fatigue.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the canvas material offers breathability, it is not highly water-resistant. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the shoes. You can apply a canvas protector spray for light moisture resistance.
How do I clean the grey canvas upper?
For light dirt, brush gently with a soft brush. For stains, use a clean cloth dampened with a mild soap solution and dab the area. Always air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.
Is the footbed removable?
Yes, the Polden Moc features a removable Contour Cushion footbed. This allows for airing, cleaning, or replacement with custom orthotics if desired.
What kind of outfits pair well with these shoes?
The Grey Canvas Polden Moc is perfect for smart-casual styling. It pairs well with chinos, jeans, casual trousers, and shorts for a versatile and comfortable look.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, the shoes feature an ultra-soft and lightweight C360 EVA sole, making them feel exceptionally light on your feet, contributing to all-day comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the authentic laces. Loosen them for a more relaxed fit or tighten them for greater security. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
The removable Contour Cushion footbed may need to be aired out or gently cleaned. If significant wear occurs, consider replacing it with a new insole or an appropriate orthotic.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
For light dirt, use a soft brush. For stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry completely. Consider applying a canvas protector spray after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Upon receiving your Polden Moc, ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Adjust them to achieve a comfortable, snug fit without being too tight.
- First Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the footbed to conform to your foot's unique shape. The removable Contour Cushion footbed will adapt over time for personalized comfort.
Compatibility
- Wardrobe: These shoes are highly compatible with a smart-casual wardrobe. Think chinos, jeans (dark wash or light), linen trousers, shorts, and even some casual suits. Their grey canvas finish is versatile and pairs well with most colors.
- Occasions: Suitable for daily wear, office environments with a casual dress code, social gatherings, weekend errands, and travel. Their lightweight nature makes them great companions for long days.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Polden Moc canvas shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt or dust, gently brush the canvas upper with a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush) or use a clean, dry cloth.
- Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn spots, lightly dampen a clean cloth with mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water) and gently dab the stain. Avoid saturating the canvas.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the material or cause fading. Stuffing them with crumpled newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Footbed Care: The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be taken out and aired regularly to keep your shoes fresh. If needed, the footbed can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.
- Protection: Consider using a canvas protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in varied weather conditions.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
