FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

No, the Clarks Wallabee EVO with suede uppers are not inherently waterproof. We highly recommend treating them with a quality suede protector spray before wearing them in wet conditions to help repel water and prevent stains.

How do I clean the black suede?

For general cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner with a damp cloth can be used. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the crepe effect sole made of, and how do I clean it?

The iconic crepe effect sole is designed for a distinct look and comfort. While it has a crepe-like appearance, this Wallabee EVO features a durable rubber outsole for maximized flexibility and grip. Clean with a damp cloth or mild brush for dirt; avoid harsh chemicals or extreme heat.

Can I wear these boots in all seasons?

While comfortable year-round, the suede material is best suited for dry conditions. For optimal longevity and appearance, it's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or snow, even with a protector spray.

How does the sizing run for Clarks Wallabee EVO?

These boots are listed in UK sizing. Generally, Clarks footwear tends to run true to size, but we recommend consulting the official Clarks size guide if you are unsure of your UK shoe size.

Do these boots offer good arch support?

Yes, the Clarks Wallabee EVO features a 'Contour Cushion footbed' which is specifically designed with wrapped contouring and arch support, along with high-rebound foam for lasting comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This will lift the fibers and restore the texture and appearance.

Crepe sole appears dirty or sticky

For dirt, gently wipe with a damp cloth or use a mild brush. For stickiness, a crepe cleaning block or a cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol (test first) can help remove residue.

Boots feel stiff during initial wear

Wear the boots for short periods around the house to allow the premium suede and footbed to break in and conform to the shape of your feet naturally. This process usually takes a few wears.

Boots got wet and have water spots

Allow the boots to air dry completely, stuffed with newspaper to help maintain shape. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. A suede protector spray can help prevent future water spots.

Foot odor develops after wear

Ensure you wear breathable socks. Air out the boots thoroughly between wears by placing them in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use & Compatibility

Upon receiving your Clarks Wallabee EVO boots, simply lace them up to your desired tightness. The design is intended to be comfortable from the first wear, but like most quality footwear, they may benefit from a brief 'break-in' period to fully adapt to your foot's unique shape. They are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard sock types.

Caring for Suede Uppers

The black suede uppers are a premium material that requires specific care to maintain their buttery soft feel and rich color:

  1. Waterproofing: Before initial wear and periodically thereafter, treat the suede with a high-quality suede protector spray. This will help repel water and prevent stains.
  2. Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, use a dedicated suede brush (typically with soft bristles on one side and rubber/crepe on the other) to gently brush in one direction. This helps to lift the nap and restore its appearance.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp, clean cloth with a small amount of specialized suede cleaner. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture.

Caring for the Crepe Effect Sole

The iconic crepe effect sole gives these boots their distinctive look but can attract dirt:

  1. Gentle Cleaning: For surface dirt, use a soft cloth or a very mild brush with warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the sole material.
  2. Stubborn Marks: A dedicated crepe sole cleaner or a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth can carefully remove more stubborn marks. Test discreetly first.
  3. Avoid Extreme Heat: High temperatures can cause crepe soles to soften or become sticky, so avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or hot cars for extended periods.

Regular care will ensure your Wallabee EVO boots remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
