FAQs

Are Wallabee shoes true to size?

Clarks Originals Wallabees generally fit true to size. However, some users find them to have a slightly roomier fit, especially in wider foot types. If you are typically between sizes, consider ordering the smaller size.

How do I protect my green suede Wallabees from water and stains?

Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray evenly across the shoes. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.

Can I wear Wallabees in the rain?

It is generally not recommended to wear suede Wallabees in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be damaged by water, leading to stains, discoloration, and a change in texture. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

How do I clean the natural crepe sole?

The natural crepe sole can attract dirt. For general cleaning, gently wipe the sides with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a soft rubber eraser (like a pencil eraser) can be used to rub off dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Do Wallabees stretch over time?

Yes, due to the soft suede material, Wallabees will naturally stretch and conform to the shape of your foot over time, providing a very comfortable and personalized fit.

What is the lifespan of the crepe sole?

The lifespan of the natural crepe sole depends heavily on wear frequency and conditions. While very comfortable, crepe is softer than synthetic rubbers and can wear down faster on abrasive surfaces. Proper care and rotation with other footwear can extend its life.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For stubborn spots, try a suede eraser.

Crepe sole is very dirty or sticky

For dirt, use a damp cloth or a soft rubber eraser to gently rub off marks. If sticky due to heat, allow them to cool down in a shaded, cool environment.

Shoes feel too stiff initially

The suede will soften with wear. Wear them for short periods at first, and consider thicker socks to aid in the break-in process.

Shoes get wet and stained

Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and air dry away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush and eraser to gently work on any remaining stains. A suede protector spray can help prevent future stains.

Laces are fraying

Replace the waxy laces with new ones of similar material and length. Clarks Originals often offers replacement laces, or you can find suitable alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup & Breaking In

  1. First Wear: Wear your Wallabees with socks to allow the suede to conform to your foot shape comfortably.
  2. Gradual Break-in: Like all quality leather footwear, Wallabees benefit from gradual breaking in. Wear them for shorter periods initially, extending wear time as they become more comfortable.
  3. Sizing: Wallabees generally fit true to size, but some find them to have a slightly generous fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the smaller size.

Styling & Compatibility

  • Casual Chic: Perfect with rolled-up denim, cargo pants, or corduroys for a relaxed, authentic look.
  • Smart Casual: Can be paired with chinos, tailored shorts, or even a lightweight suit for an effortlessly cool ensemble.
  • Color Palette: The versatile green suede complements earth tones, blues, greys, and even lighter pastels, making them easy to integrate into diverse wardrobes.

Care & Maintenance for Suede & Crepe Soles

Maintaining your suede Wallabees is key to their longevity and appearance.

Suede Care

  1. Regular Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush (a stiff bristle brush) to gently brush off dirt and dust. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For light marks, use a suede eraser to rub away blemishes. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner foam or spray can be applied sparingly.
  3. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  4. Drying Wet Suede: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use direct heat like radiators or hairdryers.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

Crepe Sole Care

  1. Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt easily. Gently wipe the sides of the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft rubber eraser to rub off marks. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the natural rubber.
  2. Heat Sensitivity: Crepe soles can become sticky or melt when exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Store them in a cool environment.
  3. Rough Surfaces: Avoid walking on very rough or abrasive surfaces frequently, as this can accelerate wear on the soft crepe rubber.
  4. Sole Repair: Due to their unique properties, crepe soles typically require professional repair or resoling if significantly damaged.
