FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Wallabees?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for tougher marks. Always brush in one direction. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry.
Are Wallabees comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the natural crepe sole provides cushioning and flexibility, making them suitable for all-day comfort for most users when worn casually.
How should I store my Wallabees?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. A shoe bag or the original box is recommended.
Can I wear Wallabees in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet or rainy conditions as water can stain and damage the suede. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are not waterproof.
What is the difference between Wallabee and Wallabee EVO?
The Wallabee EVO often features a slightly updated design, sometimes with different sole constructions or material variations, while retaining the core Wallabee DNA. The original Wallabee is known for its classic, uninterrupted crepe sole and moccasin construction.
Do Wallabees come in different widths?
Clarks Originals typically offers shoes in standard widths. Specific width options may vary by model and region. It's best to check the product details for the specific pair you are interested in.
Troubleshooting
Suede color looks uneven or faded.
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and restore an even appearance. For more significant fading, a suede dye touch-up product may be considered, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Crepe sole is dirty or scuffed.
Gently clean the crepe sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a soft eraser or a specialized sole cleaner can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The premium suede will naturally soften and conform to your foot shape with wear.
Laces are frayed or worn.
Replace laces with a similar style or color. Clarks Originals often uses waxy laces that can be purchased from specialist shoe retailers.
