FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK adult sizing, though individuals with wider feet may appreciate the roominess provided by the moc toe design.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray to add a layer of water resistance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth for deeper cleaning, followed by a leather conditioner.
Are these suitable for formal occasions?
They are perfect for smart-casual events, though they are generally considered too informal for strict black-tie or highly formal business settings.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The Wallabee is designed with a focus on general comfort and foot alignment, though it does not feature specialized medical-grade orthotic support.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard length and can be replaced with any compatible style if they become frayed.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to restore the natural oils and shine.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or check if the laces are worn down and require replacement with original length laces.
Accumulated dirt on the sole
Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently scrub the edges of the sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabees last for years, proper care is essential. Use a leather-appropriate conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. For the sole, avoid contact with harsh chemicals or oils, as these can degrade the material. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because these feature a standard UK sizing system, ensure you verify your fit against Clarks' sizing chart before your first long-distance walk to avoid discomfort.
