FAQs

How do I clean the beige leather on my Wallabees?

For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to nourish the leather, use a high-quality leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for finished leathers. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Is the crepe sole durable for everyday wear?

Yes, the crepe sole is designed for comfort and durability in urban and casual environments. While it offers excellent cushioning, it can pick up dirt more easily than other sole types and is best preserved by avoiding excessively rough or wet conditions.

Can I wear my Wallabee shoes in the rain?

While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water to preserve the quality of both the leather and the natural crepe sole. For light moisture protection, consider applying a water-resistant spray designed for leather footwear.

How do Wallabee shoes typically fit?

Clarks Originals Wallabee shoes are known for their comfortable, often slightly relaxed fit. The premium leather will soften and conform to your foot over time, providing a customized feel.

What is the best way to store my Wallabee shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture, it is highly recommended to use shoe trees when the shoes are not being worn.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Apply a small amount of suitable leather conditioner using a clean cloth, gently rubbing it into the leather in small circles. Buff lightly to restore luster.

Crepe sole has picked up dirt and looks discolored.

Use a specialized crepe sole cleaning block or a soft brush to gently rub away the dirt. For very stubborn marks, a minimal amount of mild soap and water on a cloth can be applied carefully, avoiding the leather.

Shoes feel slightly stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The premium leather may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape naturally.

Laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are tying the laces securely. Consider using a double knot if they continue to loosen during wear. Inspect laces for wear and replace if frayed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Your Wallabee shoes arrive ready to wear. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, insert your foot, and then secure the lace-up fastening to your desired comfort level. The fit should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing the leather to subtly mold to your foot over time.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the premium quality and longevity of your Clarks Originals Wallabee Shoes.

  1. Cleaning the Leather: For general dirt, gently wipe the beige leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for finished leathers. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Conditioning: To prevent the leather from drying out and cracking, apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically. This helps keep the leather supple and maintains its natural luster.
  3. Crepe Sole Maintenance: The natural crepe sole can attract dust and dirt. Gently brush off dry debris with a soft-bristled brush. For stubborn marks, a dedicated crepe sole cleaning block or a small amount of warm, soapy water applied with a cloth (avoiding the leather) can be used. Do not use harsh chemicals.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for leather footwear. This adds an extra layer of defense against the elements.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees helps maintain their original shape and absorbs moisture, extending their lifespan.
  6. Avoid Excessive Moisture: While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided to protect both the leather and the crepe sole.
