FAQs
Is the Wallabee Lite true to size?
Yes, this model in UK 8.5 is designed to follow standard sizing conventions for Clarks Originals.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these in heavy rain, as suede can absorb water and stain. Use a protector spray to increase water resistance.
What is the material of the upper?

How do I keep the grey color looking fresh?
Regularly brush the nap to prevent dust accumulation and use a suede-specific cleaning kit to remove buildup.
Is this a trainer or a casual shoe?
It falls under the low shoe category, bridging the gap between casual trainers and more formal lifestyle footwear.
Troubleshooting
Surface stains on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently buff away dry dirt or localized stains.
Water spots after exposure to rain
Stuff the shoes with paper to absorb moisture and let them dry naturally, then brush the suede nap to restore texture.
Material appearing worn or flat

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabee Lites last, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against dust and light moisture. For cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt in the direction of the nap. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if you wish to maintain their specific shape over long periods of non-use.
