The Clarks Wallabee in Black Suede excels as a comfortable and stylish everyday shoe. Its natural crepe sole provides excellent shock absorption, making it suitable for extended periods of walking or standing. The butter-soft suede uppers offer a refined look that can effortlessly elevate casual attire or complement smart-casual ensembles. For example, they pair well with denim, chinos, or even tailored trousers for a relaxed yet polished appearance. The moccasin construction allows for a comfortable, adaptable fit. While incredibly versatile, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions and smooth surfaces to preserve the integrity of the suede and the distinctive crepe sole. They are an excellent choice for city walks, social gatherings, or office environments with a relaxed dress code, providing both comfort and a unique fashion statement.
Your Clarks Wallabee shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. As the Wallabee is made from premium suede and features a natural crepe sole, specific care is essential to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Suede Protection: Before first wear and regularly thereafter, apply a quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and resist stains.
Cleaning Suede: For light dust or dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush in one direction. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
Crepe Sole Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and may become slightly sticky over time. To clean, gently rub the sole with a damp cloth or a crepe rubber cleaner (available from shoe care specialists). Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: If your Wallabees get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape and prevent creasing.
