FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Clarks Wallabee generally fits true to standard UK adult sizes.
Can I wear these in the rain?
They are treated for water resistance, but they are not waterproof and should be avoided during heavy downpours.
How do I protect the suede?
You may apply a generic suede protector spray, but ensure it is suitable for natural materials before full application.
Is the sole replaceable?
Crepe soles are unique and may be difficult to replace at local cobblers; check with a specialist shoe repair service.
Are these suitable for formal wear?
They are best classified as smart-casual; they work well for business casual offices but may not be appropriate for black-tie events.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole becoming dark or dirty
Gently clean the sides of the sole with a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth, then wipe dry.
Suede looks matted or worn
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the fibers in a circular motion to restore the original texture.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the wax-treated laces feel too slick, or replace with cotton laces for more friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on moccasins, no complex setup is required; simply adjust the two-eyelet laces to your preferred tension upon first wear. To maintain the integrity of your Wallabees, consider the following care tips: use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the material. For the crepe sole, gently wipe with a damp cloth if grit becomes embedded. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat sources, as this can affect the adhesive and the composition of the natural crepe rubber. Store in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree to help the leather lining maintain its shape when not in use.
