Your Clarks Originals Wallabee shoes require no special setup. Simply unbox them, adjust the laces to your preferred fit, and they are ready to wear. We recommend a short break-in period to allow the premium suede to mold to your foot's unique shape for optimal comfort.

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and extend the life of your premium suede Wallabees and their unique crepe soles.
Suede Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. Reapply periodically (every few months or as per product instructions) to help repel water and resist stains.
Regular Cleaning (Suede): Use a suede brush (with brass or nylon bristles) to gently brush away loose dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction for a uniform look. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Stain Treatment (Suede): For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. Allow to dry, then use a suede brush. For oil-based stains, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder to absorb the oil, let it sit for several hours, then brush away.
Crepe Sole Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and debris. Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, or use a specialized crepe sole cleaner/eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the sole's texture. Regular cleaning prevents excessive buildup.
Drying: If your Wallabees get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage suede.
Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Professional Care: For deep cleaning or significant damage, consider taking your shoes to a professional cobbler who specializes in suede and crepe sole footwear.
