Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup - Ready to Wear: The Clarks Polden Moc Shoe comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply unlace, insert your foot, and adjust the authentic laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. ### Compatibility - Attire: These shoes are best paired with smart-casual attire. Think chinos, dark-wash denim, tailored shorts, or casual trousers. They complement earth-toned and neutral palettes especially well. - Occasions: Suitable for a wide range of settings including casual Fridays, weekend outings, dinners, travel, and general daily wear where comfort and style are paramount. ### Care - Suede Upper: - Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust, and to restore the nap. - For deeper cleaning or stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner specifically designed for olive suede. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. - Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to enhance water and stain resistance. - Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. - Footbed: The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be aired out regularly. If cleaning is needed, hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting. - Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
