FAQs
What does 'SDE' in Grey SDE mean?
'SDE' typically stands for suede, indicating that the upper material of the shoe is made from suede leather. This material offers a soft texture and distinct look.
Are these shoes suitable for all-weather wear?
No, as they are made of suede, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Suede is not naturally water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. We recommend using a water and stain protector spray designed for suede for added protection.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The authentic laces are key to a personalized fit. Adjust them to be snug but not restrictive, ensuring your foot doesn't slide forward or lift excessively at the heel. Our 'UK 6' sizing refers to the standard UK adult male shoe size.
Can I clean these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes. It can damage the material, alter the shape, and potentially cause discoloration. Always follow specific suede care instructions for cleaning.
What is C360 EVA sole?
C360 EVA refers to a type of Ethylene-vinyl acetate foam used in the sole construction. It is known for being ultra-soft, lightweight, and providing excellent shock absorption and cushioning for enhanced comfort.
Is the Glastonbury Tor logo a sticker or embossed?
The Glastonbury Tor logo is embossed, meaning it is pressed into the material of the shoe, providing a subtle, integrated, and durable design element rather than a printed or stick-on detail.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the authentic laces. Loosen them for more room or tighten for a more secure fit. Ensure your foot is properly seated in the shoe before tying.
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush in one direction to restore the nap and remove surface dirt.
Visible dirt marks or stains on suede
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For wet or oil-based stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel less cushioned over time
While the C360 EVA sole is durable, all cushioning can compress with extensive use. Consider adding a thin, supportive insole if needed. Info needed: Expected sole lifespan under typical usage.

Care
Maintaining the Grey SDE (suede) material is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your Polden Mocs.
- Protection: Before initial wear, treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain protector spray designed for suede and nubuck. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning: For light dust or dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush (a brass-bristle brush is often recommended) to gently brush in one direction. For tougher spots or stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
