FAQs
Are the Clarks Polden Moc Derby shoes true to size?
Clarks generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are unsure, refer to a Clarks sizing guide for precise measurements.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Due to the suede material, it is highly recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions. Suede is prone to water damage and staining. Always apply a suede protector spray for added resistance, but avoid heavy rain.
What is the 'Contour Cushion' footbed?
The Contour Cushion footbed is an innovative, removable footbed designed by Clarks that provides superior underfoot comfort and targeted support. It molds to the natural shape of your foot, offering personalized cushioning throughout the day.
How do I clean the green suede?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always brush in one direction and follow the cleaner's instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray regularly.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, the authentic laces are designed to be replaceable. You can easily switch them out if they become worn or if you wish to customize the look of your shoes.
Can I remove the footbed?
Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is removable, which can be useful for airing out the shoes or if you prefer to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush, always brushing in one direction to restore the nap and natural texture of the material.
Stains or scuffs on the suede
For light marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the stain. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution, following the product's instructions carefully.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after initial wear
Allow for a short break-in period. The removable Contour Cushion footbed is designed to adapt to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and that the lacing is neither too tight nor too loose.
Shoes get wet and look discolored
If the shoes get wet, blot off excess moisture with a clean cloth. Let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, brush them with a suede brush to restore the nap.

Care for Green Suede
Suede requires special attention to maintain its appearance.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray (follow product instructions) to create a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede eraser.
- Spot Cleaning: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material can be used, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat, then brush gently.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
