FAQs
Are Clarks Wallabee EVO shoes waterproof?
No, the premium suede upper is not inherently waterproof. It's recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, but avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I clean the natural crepe sole?
Gently dab the crepe sole with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more embedded grime, a specialized crepe cleaning block can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing which could damage the material.
Can I replace the footbed?
The Wallabee EVO features a wrapped contour cushion footbed which is integrated into the shoe's design and not typically removable or replaceable by the user. Its construction is key to the shoe's specific comfort profile.
What is the benefit of an EVA midsole?
The lightweight EVA midsole adds an extra layer of cushioning and shock absorption without adding significant weight. This enhances overall comfort and reduces fatigue during prolonged wear, making the shoes feel lighter on your feet.
How often should I clean my suede Wallabees?
Regular, light cleaning with a suede brush after each wear can help prevent dirt build-up. Deeper cleaning with a suede eraser or cleaner should be done as needed, typically when you notice visible marks or dullness.
Why did my shoes come with extra laces?
Clarks provides an extra pair of tone-on-tone laces for versatility in styling or as a convenient replacement should your original laces become worn or damaged. This helps extend the life and fresh appearance of your footwear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For stubborn areas, a suede eraser can help lift compressed fibers.
Water stains on suede.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to raise the nap. For significant stains, a professional suede cleaner may be required.
Crepe sole feels sticky or excessively dirty.
Clean the crepe sole by gently dabbing with a slightly damp cloth or using a mild soap solution if necessary. A specialized crepe cleaning block can also be effective for removing embedded dirt. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
Laces are worn or broken.
Replace them with the extra pair of tone-on-tone laces provided with your shoes. If you need more, contact Clarks customer service for suitable replacements.
Footbed feels less comfortable over time.
While the contour cushion footbed is designed for lasting comfort, prolonged heavy use can compress materials. Ensure proper care and storage to maximize its lifespan. Consider rotating with other footwear.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the premium dark sand suede and natural crepe sole is crucial for longevity:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and cloth can be used following the product's instructions.
- Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and debris. Gently dab with a damp cloth to clean, avoiding harsh chemicals. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully. Avoid excessive scrubbing that might damage the material.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede and sole.
- Storage: Store your Wallabee EVO in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
