FAQs
How do I clean my black suede Wallabees?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.
Are the Clarks Originals Wallabees good for walking long distances?
Yes, the signature crepe sole is designed for comfort and cushioning, making them suitable for extended wear and moderate walking.
How do I maintain the water and stain resistance?

Can I wear these in the rain?

What is the typical lifespan of the crepe sole?
The lifespan of the crepe sole depends on usage and wear. With proper care, it can last for a considerable time, but soles may eventually wear down and require replacement by a cobbler.

Does the suede stretch over time?
Yes, suede will naturally mold to the shape of your foot with wear, offering a more personalized and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede eraser for stains and a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Gently wipe the sole with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
