FAQs
What type of leather is used for the Polden Lace?
The Polden Lace features a buttery soft leather upper, chosen for its quality and comfort.
Is the cushioning suitable for standing all day?
Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed and the ultra-soft C360 EVA sole are designed to provide lasting comfort for extended periods of wear.
How do I clean the EVA sole?
The EVA sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Wipe away any dirt or debris.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather. Consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for leather if you anticipate encountering moisture.
What is the fit like?
The Polden Lace offers a standard fit. The lace-up system allows for a personalized fit, and the heel pull tab aids in easy wear.
What occasion are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for everyday wear, casual outings, and smart-casual settings. They offer a blend of comfort and heritage style.
How do the archival design details enhance the shoe?
The archival details, inspired by classic Clarks designs, add a unique, modern heritage aesthetic to the shoe, setting it apart from more contemporary styles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and ensure the fit is not too restrictive. For initial wear, try wearing them for short periods to allow the leather to adapt to your foot. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period if needed.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather. For scuffs, a matching color shoe polish can help restore the appearance. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud or debris. The EVA sole offers good grip on most surfaces, but extreme conditions may require caution. Consider adding grip enhancers if slippage is a persistent issue on specific surfaces.
Difficulty putting shoes on.
Utilize the heel pull tab for assistance. Ensure the laces are sufficiently loosened before attempting to slide your foot in.
