FAQs
How do I clean the crepe sole?
Use a dry, soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, a clean rubber eraser or a specialized crepe sole cleaner can be gently applied. Avoid water or harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Clarks Originals Wallabee is not designed to be waterproof. The leather uppers and natural crepe sole are best suited for dry conditions.
How should I care for the leather?
Clean the leather regularly with a soft brush or damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner and black shoe polish to maintain its appearance and prolong its life.
What is the fit like?
The Wallabee typically offers a comfortable, relaxed fit. The leather will stretch and conform to your foot over time. It's generally recommended to stick to your true size.
Can I wear them in winter?
While the leather offers some protection, the crepe sole may become stiff in very cold temperatures and can be slippery on ice or snow. They are generally best suited for milder weather.
What makes the crepe sole unique?
The natural crepe rubber sole is prized for its flexibility, cushioning, and distinctive appearance. It provides excellent comfort and shock absorption, contributing to the Wallabee's iconic feel and comfortable wear.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole looks dirty or discolored.
Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a clean rubber eraser or a specific crepe sole cleaning block to remove stubborn marks. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh solvents.
Leather uppers appear dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a black leather conditioner or polish. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and condition.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
The leather will soften and mold to your feet with wear. Wear them for shorter periods initially to comfortably break them in.
Strong odor from the crepe sole.
Crepe is a natural material and can have a distinct scent, especially when new. Ensure shoes are aired out in a well-ventilated area when not in use. Avoid storing in enclosed, damp spaces.

Care:
- Leather Uppers: Clean regularly with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Polish with a black leather cream to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
- Crepe Sole: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and debris. To clean, gently rub with a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, a dedicated crepe sole cleaner or a clean rubber eraser can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as these can damage the natural material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
