FAQs

How do I clean the leather on my Wallabees?

To clean the premium leather, gently wipe off any dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to restore shine, use a quality leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather, following the product's instructions.

What is a crepe sole and how do I care for it?

A crepe sole is made from natural, unprocessed rubber. It's known for its comfort and cushioning. To care for it, gently brush off dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn marks or stickiness, a specialized crepe cleaning block or a mild soap solution on a cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Are these shoes true to size?

Clarks Originals Wallabees generally run true to size for UK sizing. However, individual fit can vary. We recommend consulting a size chart and considering trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear my Wallabees in the rain?

While the premium leather offers some natural resistance, these shoes are not designed to be fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided as it can damage both the leather and the crepe sole. A water-resistant spray can offer some protection.

What material are the laces made from?

The Wallabees come with waxy laces, which are designed to complement the authentic laidback aesthetic and provide a secure knot.

Will the crepe sole change color over time?

Yes, it is natural for the crepe sole to darken slightly and show signs of wear over time, which is part of its unique character and a common trait of natural rubber.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore its luster.

Crepe sole is dirty or feels sticky.

Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For sticky residue or ingrained dirt, use a specialized crepe sole cleaning block or a very mild soap solution on a soft cloth, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh solvents.

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Clarks Wallabees, especially new leather ones, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, and the premium leather will gradually mold to the shape of your feet for enhanced comfort.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a strong knotting technique, such as a double knot. The waxy laces are designed for grip, but proper knotting is key for security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Wallabee shoes is straightforward. Simply unlace them, slide your feet in, and then lace them up to your desired comfort and fit. Ensure the waxy laces are tied securely, using a double knot if preferred, to prevent them from coming undone during wear.

Compatibility

These black leather Wallabees are highly versatile and complement a wide range of styles. They are an excellent choice for:

Apparel: Pair them with jeans, chinos, corduroys, or even lighter wool trousers. Their understated elegance also works well with casual blazers or knitwear.
Occasions: Suitable for casual social gatherings, relaxed office settings, weekend explorations, and smart-casual events.
Colors: The classic black leather makes them compatible with virtually any color palette, from earthy tones to vibrant hues.

Care Instructions

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Clarks Originals Wallabee shoes.

Leather Uppers:
Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and maintain its rich appearance.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially during inclement weather.
Crepe Sole:
Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and become slightly sticky over time. Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) and a mild soap solution, or a specialized crepe cleaning block, to gently clean the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can affect the crepe material.
General Care:
Allow shoes to air out after wear. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Avoid prolonged exposure to water to protect both the leather and the crepe sole.
Rotate your footwear to give your Wallabees time to rest and recover between wears.
