FAQs
What type of leather is used for the Polden Lace?
The Polden Lace features a buttery soft leather upper, chosen for its comfort and refined aesthetic.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Polden Lace is designed with a standard fit. While the leather can offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Checking reviews or trying them on in person is recommended.
How do I best clean the EVA sole?
The EVA sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and ensure they are properly dried afterward.
What is the benefit of the Contour Cushion footbed?
The Contour Cushion footbed is designed to provide lasting comfort and support by molding to the natural shape of your foot.
How do the archival design details enhance the shoe?
The archival details, inspired by classic Clarks designs, add a unique modern heritage aesthetic, giving the shoe a timeless yet contemporary look.
What is the recommended way to break in these shoes?
The soft leather and cushioned sole generally require minimal break-in. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time as they conform to your feet.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and material. Ensure they are not overly tightened during lacing.
Leather showing signs of dryness or cracking
Apply a quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Regular conditioning will prevent this issue.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the EVA sole is clean. For persistent issues, consider a rubber sole protector or consult a cobbler for grip-enhancing options.
Discomfort or pressure points
Loosen the laces, especially around the pressure point. If discomfort persists, consider adding an aftermarket insole for customized support.
