FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, as they are made from premium suede, the Clarks WallabeeEVO Derby is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suede protector spray to offer some resistance against light moisture and stains.
How do I maintain the vibrant red color of the suede?
To maintain the red color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading. Regular gentle brushing and using a color-safe suede protector can help preserve its look.
Is the arch support suitable for all foot types?
The Contour Cushion footbed offers built-in arch support designed for general comfort. For specific foot conditions or advanced support needs, consult a podiatrist or consider custom orthotics.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
Absolutely not. Machine washing can severely damage the suede and the shoe's construction. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede.
What is an EVA midsole?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing material commonly used in footwear midsoles to provide cushioning and reduce overall shoe weight.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush can be used to remove dirt from the treads. Ensure no soap residue remains on the suede upper.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and restore its texture.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
While durable, all footbeds compress over time. Ensure you're wearing correctly sized socks; if issues persist, consider adding a thin, supportive insert designed for comfort shoes.
Shoes feel too stiff initially
Allow for a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Suede has a water mark or minor stain
Blot wet spots immediately with a clean cloth. For dried water marks or minor stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, then brush gently.

Initial Wear: No complex setup is required. Simply unbox and wear. For optimal comfort, ensure you select the correct size (UK 6 for this model) and wear appropriate socks.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adults, specifically men, and are suitable for casual to smart-casual attire. They pair well with jeans, chinos, or tailored trousers.
Care for Suede:
- Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. Repeat periodically.
- Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, use a soft-bristled suede brush (a dedicated suede brush works best) to gently brush in one direction.
- Stains: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Do not force dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture.
