FAQs

How do I protect my new suede Wallabee Evo shoes?

Before wearing, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is generally advised to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat, stuffed with paper towels.

How often should I clean the crepe sole?

Clean the crepe sole as needed, typically when you notice dirt buildup or stickiness. Regular light cleaning will prevent excessive grime accumulation and maintain its appearance.

Are these shoes true to size?

Clarks Wallabee shoes typically run true to size. The specified size for this pair is UK 9. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

What is a natural crepe sole?

A natural crepe sole is made from layers of coagulated latex rubber. It's known for its exceptional comfort, flexibility, and distinctive texture. However, it can attract dirt and may not offer the best grip on extremely slippery surfaces.

How can I make the suede look new again?

Regular brushing with a specialized suede brush helps to lift the nap and remove surface dirt, restoring its appearance. For deeper cleaning, use a suede cleaner following the product's instructions, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or stained

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Crepe sole is very dirty or sticky

Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized crepe sole cleaner to gently wipe away dirt. For sticky residue, try using masking tape to lift off particles. Avoid abrasive scrubbing which can damage the natural rubber.

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is common with new suede shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot. Suede will naturally relax over time, improving comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Wear

Upon receiving your Wallabee Evo shoes, gently remove them from the packaging. Take a moment to inspect the premium suede and crepe sole. Lace them up comfortably, ensuring they are snug but not too tight. Wear them around the house for a short period to allow the suede to begin conforming to your foot's shape.

These shoes are designed for adult males and are highly versatile. They pair excellently with:

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, chinos, shorts for a relaxed look.
  • Smart Casual: Trousers, collared shirts, blazers for a polished ensemble.
  • Seasonal: Suitable for all seasons, though extra care is needed in wet conditions due to the suede.

Care & Maintenance

Maintaining your suede Wallabee Evo shoes is crucial for longevity and appearance:

  1. Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
  2. Cleaning Suede: For dirt or scuffs, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner may be necessary. Always brush in one direction.
  3. Crepe Sole Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to gently wipe away accumulated grime. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the natural rubber.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  6. Lace Care: The included extra lace allows you to replace worn or dirty laces, keeping your shoes looking fresh.
