FAQs
Are the Wallabees true to size?
Most users find that Clarks Originals Wallabees fit true to size, though the moccasin construction provides a slightly roomier fit compared to structured sneakers.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The suede is treated for resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy downpours to prevent potential water damage.
How do I clean the crepe sole?
A damp cloth with mild soap can clean the sides of the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could melt the natural rubber.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the standard two-eyelet laces with any high-quality cord or leather lace that fits the eyelet diameter.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
They provide moderate support, but the natural crepe sole is designed primarily for cushioning and impact absorption rather than rigid arch correction.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole picking up small stones or debris
Gently pick out debris with a dull tool or use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the tread regularly.
Suede looks matted or shiny
Use a suede brush in a circular motion to lift the fibers and restore the original texture.
Water spots on the suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then brush the affected area once fully dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabees stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: While pre-treated, consider applying an additional suede-safe protector spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede eraser.
- Sole Maintenance: The crepe sole is natural rubber. Avoid leaving the shoes in direct heat or extreme sunlight for long periods, as this can cause the rubber to soften or degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably with a shoe tree to help maintain the moccasin shape.
