FAQs

Are Clarks Wallabees true to size?

Generally, Clarks Wallabees are considered to run true to size for most people. However, due to their moccasin construction, they can feel snug initially. Consider your usual shoe size and any specific fit notes for suede footwear.

How do I clean black suede?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first and avoid water.

Can I wear these boots in the rain?

While treated suede offers some protection, it's best to avoid wearing Wallabees in heavy rain. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly as per care instructions.

What is the crepe sole made of?

The crepe sole is made from natural rubber, which gives it its distinctive cushioning and flexibility.

How should I store my Wallabees?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag or their original box. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.

What kind of socks are best with Wallabees?

Most sock types work well. Thin to medium-weight socks are common choices for comfort and fit. For a more casual look, no-show socks can also be worn.

Do Wallabees stretch over time?

Yes, suede is a natural material that will adapt to the shape of your foot over time, offering a more personalized fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions.

Crepe sole is dirty or scuffed

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, try a soft-bristled brush or a specialized sole cleaner.

Boots feel tight

Allow time for the suede to naturally mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size. Consider thicker socks for a snugger feel.

Suede is wet

Gently blot excess water with a clean, dry cloth. Stuff boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
