FAQs
Are Wallabees suitable for formal events?
Wallabees are best classified as smart-casual and are perfect for business-casual offices or semi-formal social settings, though they may not be appropriate for black-tie events.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the rubber sole provides good grip, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep mud.
How do I find my size?
Clarks Originals typically follow standard UK sizing. If you have worn Clarks before, use your established size.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The Wallabee features a relatively flat, classic construction. If you require significant arch support, you may wish to consider adding a thin, third-party insole.
How often should I brush the suede?
Depending on usage, a quick brush after every few wears is recommended to prevent dust and dirt from settling into the fibers.
Are these shoes durable?
Yes, they are constructed with high-quality materials and durable rubber soles, designed to withstand years of regular use with proper care.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing water spots.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the nap.
The shoe feels too loose.
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and adjust the lacing tension at the eyelets to create a more secure lockdown.
Build-up of dirt on the rubber sole.
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile design suitable for many occasions
- Highly comfortable for all-day wear
- Secure fit via reliable lace-up system
- Excellent traction from the rubber outsole
- Timeless aesthetic that does not go out of style
Cons
- Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
- Limited arch support compared to athletic sneakers
- Requires periodic maintenance to look its best
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your Wallabees, ensure you have chosen the correct UK size for a snug yet comfortable fit. Since these are lace-up shoes, tighten the laces to prevent heel slippage, but avoid over-tightening, which can cause discomfort across the top of the foot.
Care instructions include:
- Use a Suede Brush: Regularly brush the surface to remove loose dirt and maintain the nap of the material.
- Protective Spray: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape when not in use.
- Spot Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede cleaner for any accidental stains, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
