FAQs
Are Clarks Wallabees waterproof?
While the leather offers some resistance, Wallabees are not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray if you expect light rain exposure.
Do these boots run true to size?
Generally, Clarks Originals fit true to standard UK sizing, but the width can be generous due to the moccasin construction.
Can the crepe soles be replaced?
The crepe sole is a distinct feature of the design; while some professional cobblers can resole them, it is a specialized service due to the nature of the material.
What is the difference between Wallabee and Wallabee EVO?
The EVO series often features updated sole technology or slight variations in the interior lining, whereas the standard Wallabee maintains the classic, traditional aesthetic.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for deeper stains. Always test any leather cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole is turning dark or sticky
This is a natural characteristic of crepe rubber. Gently wipe the edges with a specialized rubber cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Leather feels stiff upon initial wear
The boots will soften naturally with body heat. Wear them with thicker socks for the first few days to aid the stretching process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabees stay in good condition, consider the following:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Leather Maintenance: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth and apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
- Sole Care: The crepe rubber is susceptible to heat and chemicals. Avoid wearing them on hot asphalt during peak summer and keep them away from solvents.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the leather color and sole integrity.
