FAQs
Are the Clarks Polden Moc waterproof?
The `premium suede upper` of the Polden Moc is not inherently waterproof. To protect them from light moisture and stains, it is highly recommended to apply a `water and stain repellent spray` specifically designed for suede before wearing. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the `Contour Cushion footbed` is fully `removable`. This feature allows you to air it out, clean it, or replace it with personal orthotics or a preferred insole for customized comfort and support.
How do I clean the suede material?
For light dirt or dust, use a `suede brush`. For tougher marks, a `suede eraser` can be effective. For deeper cleaning, specialized suede cleaning products are available, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow shoes to air dry naturally after any cleaning.
What is the C360 EVA sole?
The `C360 EVA sole` is an advanced type of Ethylene-vinyl acetate material utilized by Clarks. It's engineered to be `ultra-soft and lightweight`, providing exceptional cushioning and flexibility that contributes significantly to the shoe's comfort and 'light as a cloud' feel.
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks generally designs its footwear to be true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. The Polden Moc's `authentic laces` allow for adjustment to achieve a personalized and secure fit. We recommend consulting Clarks' size guide or trying them on if unsure.
Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?
While the suede offers a sophisticated look, it may be less breathable than canvas or mesh in very hot and humid conditions. They are most suitable for `transitional seasons` and mild to moderate temperatures. The `lightweight` sole does help prevent excessive heat retention.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull, matted, or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a clean suede brush, always brushing in the same direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner according to its instructions.
Shoes feel too tight or loose despite lacing adjustments.
Ensure you are lacing them correctly for even tension. The `removable Contour Cushion footbed` can be taken out to gain a little more internal volume if feeling too tight, or you could add a thin extra insole (though this may compromise the original cushioning) if slightly too loose.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoe.
Remove the `Contour Cushion footbed` and allow both the footbed and the inside of the shoe to air out completely. A sprinkle of baking soda left inside overnight can absorb odors, then shake out thoroughly before wearing.
Squeaking sound coming from the shoe while walking.
Check that the `removable Contour Cushion footbed` is properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes a slight misalignment can cause friction. Applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the footbed can also reduce friction and stop squeaking.
Suede becomes stiff or discolored after getting wet.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its texture and appearance. If discoloration persists, professional cleaning may be required.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks Polden Moc, particularly the `premium suede upper`, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality `suede protector spray`. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Always follow the product manufacturer's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a `suede brush` to gently brush away surface dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Treatment: For minor scuffs or marks, use a `suede eraser` (a specialized rubber block) to gently rub the affected area. For more stubborn stains, a dedicated suede cleaning solution may be necessary; always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying Wet Shoes: If the shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Footbed Care: The `removable Contour Cushion footbed` can be taken out and aired regularly to maintain freshness. If needed, the footbed can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water, then thoroughly air-dried before reinsertion.
