FAQs

Are Clarks Wallabees true to size?

Clarks Wallabees generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, if you are between sizes, or prefer a slightly roomier fit, it's often recommended to try half a size down if you usually wear a wide fit, or your regular size if you prefer a snug fit. It's best to refer to Clarks' official sizing guide.

How do I protect the suede from water?

To protect your suede Wallabees from water and stains, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and nubuck before their first wear. Reapply regularly according to the product's instructions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Can I clean the crepe sole?

Yes, you can clean the natural crepe sole using a special crepe brush. Gently rub the brush over the sole to remove dirt and restore its texture. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the crepe.

What is the Wallabee's leather lining for?

The full leather trim and lining provide additional comfort, breathability, and durability. The leather helps the shoe conform to your foot over time and contributes to the overall quality and longevity of the footwear.

Are Wallabees comfortable for walking long distances?

Clarks Wallabees are known for their comfort, largely due to the natural crepe sole which offers excellent cushioning. They are comfortable for everyday wear and moderate walking distances, making them a great choice for urban environments and casual outings.

How often should I clean my suede Wallabees?

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For light wear, a quick brush after each use can help maintain them. For more frequent wear or exposure to dust, cleaning once every few weeks with a suede brush and eraser is recommended. Always treat stains promptly.

What type of socks should I wear with Wallabees?

Wallabees are versatile. Many prefer no-show socks for a more casual, minimalist look, while others opt for classic crew socks for added comfort or to complement their outfit. The choice is largely dependent on personal style and comfort preference.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture. For deeper cleaning, use a suede eraser on affected areas.

Crepe sole feels sticky or dirty

Use a crepe brush to remove dirt and refresh the sole's surface. Avoid walking on asphalt or very hot surfaces for extended periods, as this can make the crepe sole excessively sticky.

Shoes feel too tight initially

The premium suede and leather lining will mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in naturally. Thinner socks can also help during the break-in phase.

Stains on suede

For fresh, minor stains, gently blot with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Never rub aggressively.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure you are tying a double knot if needed. Over time, waxy laces can become less grippy; consider replacing them with new waxed laces if the issue persists.
