Your Clarks Wallabee shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. As the Wallabee is made from premium suede and features a natural crepe sole, specific care is essential to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Care Instructions:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear and regularly thereafter, apply a quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and resist stains.
- Cleaning Suede: For light dust or dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush in one direction. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
- Crepe Sole Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and may become slightly sticky over time. To clean, gently rub the sole with a damp cloth or a crepe rubber cleaner (available from shoe care specialists). Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If your Wallabees get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape and prevent creasing.
