FAQs
Are the Clarks Polden Moc shoes waterproof?
No, the Dark Grey Suede Polden Mocs are not inherently waterproof. Suede is susceptible to water damage. We highly recommend applying a suede protector spray before wear and reapplying periodically.
How do I clean the suede material?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For specific stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners.
What is the C360 EVA sole?
The C360 EVA sole is an ultra-soft and lightweight Ethylene-vinyl acetate material specifically engineered by Clarks to provide exceptional cushioning and flexibility for maximum comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in formal settings?
The Clarks Polden Moc has a distinctive archival design that leans towards casual or smart-casual. While versatile, they are generally not suitable for strictly formal occasions.
How should I store my Polden Mocs when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture, extending their lifespan.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Clarks footwear generally runs true to size based on UK sizing. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. The authentic laces allow for personalized adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the entire surface with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the authentic laces. Untie and re-lace, ensuring an even tension across all eyelets. This allows for a customized fit to your foot shape.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. A double knot can provide extra security, especially during active periods. You might also consider replacing worn laces if they've lost their texture.
Suede is stained by water or liquid
Blot the wet area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent water stains, a professional suede cleaner may be required.

Proper care for your suede Polden Mocs will help maintain their appearance and longevity:
