FAQs
What type of socks are best with the Polden Lace?
The Polden Lace can be worn with most types of socks. For optimal comfort with the Contour Cushion footbed, consider medium-weight casual socks. They can also be worn sockless in warmer weather, but ensure feet are clean to avoid staining the footbed.
How do I clean the EVA sole?
The C360 EVA sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe it clean and allow it to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the EVA material.
Can these shoes be worn in rainy weather?
While the leather upper can be treated for water resistance, these are not waterproof boots. For heavy rain, it is advisable to use a dedicated leather waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is the intended fit of the Polden Lace?
The Polden Lace is designed to offer a comfortable, standard fit. The lace-up system allows for adjustability to accommodate various foot widths. The 'Contour Cushion' footbed provides support.
How does the 'modern heritage aesthetic' translate in practical terms?
This means the shoe combines classic design elements, inspired by iconic Clarks styles, with contemporary materials and construction. This results in a shoe that looks timeless but feels and performs like a modern piece of footwear.
What is the advantage of the C360 EVA sole?
The C360 EVA sole is chosen for its exceptionally lightweight properties and superior cushioning. This provides an ultra-soft feel underfoot, enhancing comfort and reducing overall shoe weight for easier wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after a short period.
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. For a more permanent fix, consider lace locks or replacing laces with a material that offers better grip.
Leather appears dry or creased.
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Gently buff the leather after application.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
If slipping occurs on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider a rubber sole protector or consult a cobbler for enhanced grip options. Ensure soles are clean from debris.
Difficulty pulling shoe on.
Use the heel pull tab provided. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly and the laces are loosened before inserting the foot.
