FAQs
Are Clarks Wallabees true to size?
Wallabees generally fit true to size, but the suede material will soften and accommodate the foot shape more over time.
Can I wear Wallabees in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede can absorb water, and the natural crepe sole can become slippery on wet, smooth surfaces.
How do I remove scuffs from the suede?
Use a suede eraser or a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface scuffs.
What is the benefit of a crepe sole?
Crepe soles are made from natural coagulated latex, offering superior shock absorption and comfort compared to synthetic rubber.
Can I replace the soles when they wear out?
Yes, many professional cobblers are equipped to replace crepe soles, extending the life of the shoe significantly.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee's moccasin-style construction generally offers a more accommodating fit for wider feet compared to structured dress shoes.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole is turning dark or tacky
Clean the sole edges with a mild dish soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe dry. Avoid storage in extreme heat.
Suede has light water stains
Allow the shoes to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently buff the stained area in one direction to restore the texture.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Leather and suede naturally expand with body heat; consider wearing thinner socks during the initial break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabees last, start by applying a suede-specific protector spray before your first wear to guard against dust and light moisture. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. If the soles pick up dark marks or debris, use a gentle rubber cleaning block or a mild soap solution on a damp cloth, taking care not to soak the suede. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. Store them with cedar shoe trees if possible to maintain their shape.
