FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend using a suede-specific protective spray to add a layer of water resistance.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, you should never wash suede shoes in a machine. Water and heavy agitation will permanently ruin the material.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Clarks typically follow standard UK sizing; however, since suede can stretch slightly over time, ensure a snug but comfortable fit when new.
What is the best way to clean mud off them?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a stiff brush to gently flick the dried dirt off the suede surface.
Are they suitable for formal events?
The Wallabee Lite is best suited for casual and smart-casual settings rather than formal black-tie events.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on suede
Lightly brush the affected area with a suede brush and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush in a circular motion to lift the fibers and restore the original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Clarks Wallabee Lite shoes remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Weather Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
- Cleaning: If the suede becomes dusty or lightly soiled, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
- Stain Removal: For minor spots, use a dedicated suede eraser; avoid using water or standard cleaning soaps which can damage the suede texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Use cedar shoe trees to help maintain the shoe shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: These shoes are best worn with casual or smart-casual attire. They are not compatible with rugged, wet, or muddy terrain.
