FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Clarks Polden Moc Derby are made from suede, which is not inherently waterproof. We recommend treating them with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to offer protection against light moisture.
How do I determine my correct size?
These shoes are listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking Clarks' official size guide, often available on their website, and measuring your foot to ensure the most accurate fit. If between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort.
Can I wear these in warmer weather?
Yes, the lightweight EVA sole and suede construction make them suitable for warmer temperatures, offering breathability and comfort. However, consider the general care requirements for suede in humid conditions.
Is the insole removable for orthotics?
Yes, the Polden Moc Derby features a removable Contour Cushion insole, allowing you to replace it with personal orthotics if desired, for customized support and comfort.
What is the best way to clean the navy suede?
For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, gently blot with a clean cloth, allow to dry, then use a suede eraser. Always apply a protective spray before first wear to help prevent stains and water damage.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Given their smart-casual style, no-show socks or thin dress socks in complementary colors like navy, grey, or even subtle patterns would be appropriate to maintain a clean and refined look.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and texture of the suede. Brush in a single direction.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are firm enough to secure your foot but not so tight as to cause discomfort. Consider trying different lacing patterns for a better fit.
Foot discomfort after long wear
While equipped with a Contour Cushion insole, individual foot needs vary. Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider using custom orthotic inserts, which can be placed after removing the existing removable insole.
Suede stained with liquid
Immediately blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Allow to air dry, then use a suede eraser and brush. For persistent stains, specialized suede cleaners may be necessary.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
New soles can sometimes lack grip. Wear them on various surfaces to scuff the sole slightly. For continued slipperiness, consult a cobbler for potential sole treatments or modifications.

Care
To maintain the pristine condition of your navy suede shoes:
- Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede footwear. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
- Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then allow to dry naturally before brushing.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain shape and absorb moisture. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade the color.
