FAQs
How do I best clean the white leather of my Polden Moc shoes?
Gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated white leather cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions. Always let them air dry completely.
Are these shoes suitable for all-weather wear?
While the leather is durable, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Heavy rain or wet environments are not recommended without prior application of a high-quality waterproof leather protector to prevent water damage and staining.
What is Clarks' 'Contour Cushion' technology?
'Contour Cushion' is an advanced insole technology designed by Clarks to provide targeted underfoot cushioning and anatomical arch support, enhancing comfort for all-day wear and reducing foot fatigue.
Can I replace the insoles in my Polden Moc shoes?
The Contour Cushion is typically integrated into the shoe's design for optimal performance and fit. While you may be able to add thin overlays, replacing the primary insole might alter the intended fit, support, and comfort characteristics of the shoe.
Do I need to 'break-in' these shoes?
As with many quality leather shoes, a short break-in period is often beneficial. Wear them for gradually increasing durations to allow the leather to soften and mold comfortably to the unique shape of your feet for optimal comfort.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and to maintain the shoe's freshness, we recommend wearing socks, ideally cotton or bamboo blends, that wick away moisture. The versatile style pairs well with no-show socks for a casual, contemporary look or dress socks for more formal settings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using thinner socks during this phase to ease the process.
White leather appears dirty or stained easily.
Clean regularly after each wear with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized white leather cleaner. Apply a leather protector spray to help prevent future staining and make cleaning easier.
Scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather surface.
For light scuffs, a soft cloth and a dab of leather conditioner or a leather eraser can sometimes buff them out. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair specialist or use a specialized leather repair balm.
Soles feel less cushioned or supportive over time.
While the EVA sole and Contour Cushion are designed for longevity, excessive wear can compress cushioning. Consider using aftermarket insoles designed for added arch support or cushioning if needed, ensuring they fit properly within the shoe.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your leather Polden Moc shoes, especially the white variant.
- Regular Cleaning: For white leather, gently wipe down the surface with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
- Stain Removal: Address stains immediately. Use a leather-specific stain remover, following product instructions carefully.
- Protection: Apply a high-quality leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
- Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use artificial heat sources.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
