Product Information

Full details

The Clarks Polden Moc is designed for adults seeking a blend of classic style and modern comfort. Its key win is the combination of an authentic, archival design with a removable Contour Cushion footbed, providing excellent support for everyday wear.

FAQs

Are the Polden Moc shoes suitable for wide feet?

While the authentic laces allow for some adjustment, the Polden Moc is generally designed for a standard fit. If you typically require a wide fit, it's recommended to try them on or consult specific sizing guides.

Can I replace the Contour Cushion footbed with my own orthotics?

Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is removable, allowing you to easily insert your preferred custom orthotics for personalized support.

How do I clean the grey canvas material?

For best results, spot clean with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Air dry completely away from direct heat.

Are these shoes slip-resistant?

The Polden Moc shoes feature a durable outsole designed for everyday traction on various surfaces. However, they are not specifically advertised as slip-resistant, so caution should be exercised on wet or slippery grounds.

Are the laces functional or just for show?

The laces are fully functional, allowing you to adjust the fit of the shoe to your comfort and preference.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight during wear.

Adjust the authentic laces. Loosen them for more room, or tighten them for a more secure fit. Ensure an even tension across the entire lacing system.

Footbed feels less comfortable over time or is causing an odor.

Remove the Contour Cushion footbed. Air it out for 24-48 hours. If there's an odor, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then ensure it is completely dry before reinserting. Consider replacing the footbed if wear and tear are significant.

Canvas upper appears dirty or stained.

Spot clean immediately using the care instructions provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the canvas material.

Shoes are squeaking when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the removable footbed and the shoe's interior. Try removing the footbed and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the footbed. Ensure the footbed is seated correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Comfort: The Contour Cushion footbed delivers excellent cushioning for prolonged wear.
  • Classic & Versatile Style: Its timeless design integrates seamlessly into both casual and smart-casual wardrobes.
  • Customizable Fit: Authentic laces allow for precise adjustment, while the removable footbed accommodates custom orthotics.
  • Breathable Material: The canvas upper ensures good airflow, keeping feet comfortable in various conditions.

Cons

  • Specific Care for Canvas: Canvas requires gentle cleaning and is less forgiving to stains than leather.
  • Limited Water Resistance: Not ideal for wet weather conditions, as canvas can absorb water and take time to dry.
  • Durability: While sturdy, canvas might show wear and tear differently compared to leather variants over extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Upon receiving your Polden Moc shoes, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and evenly. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit across your instep without being too tight.
  2. First Wear: Wear your new shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet and ensure maximum comfort.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed for adults.
  • Gender: Male footwear.
  • Size: This specific variant is a UK 8.5, but other sizes are available in the Polden Moc range. Always consult a sizing guide if unsure.

Care Instructions for Grey Canvas

Maintaining your canvas Polden Moc shoes requires a gentle approach to preserve their appearance and integrity.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt or dust with a soft brush (like a toothbrush) after each wear.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For stains, mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap or laundry detergent) with cool water. Dip a clean cloth or soft brush into the solution and gently scrub the stained area in circular motions. Avoid saturating the canvas.
  3. Rinsing: Use a clean, damp cloth (with plain water) to wipe away any soap residue.
  4. Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the canvas. Stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  5. Footbed Care: The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be removed and aired out periodically to prevent odor. If needed, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then air dry completely before reinserting.
  6. Protection: Consider using a fabric protectant spray designed for canvas to help repel water and stains, following the product's instructions.
