FAQs
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Clarks size guide for accurate measurements. These shoes are designed for a standard fit, but personal preference for tightness may vary.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain. The natural crepe sole is not waterproof and can be damaged or discolored by excessive moisture.
How often should I clean the leather?
Clean the leather as needed, typically when visible dirt or stains appear. Regular light dusting with a soft cloth can help maintain the finish.
What is the difference between the two lace options?
The tonal flat lace provides a classic, understated look, while the gingham ribbon lace offers a more distinctive, feminine, and playful aesthetic.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee has a classic moccasin construction which generally offers a comfortable fit, but it is not specifically designed for very wide feet. Trying them on is recommended if you have wider than average feet.
How do I care for the gingham sock liner?
The gingham sock liner is part of the interior. Spot clean gently with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid soaking to prevent damage to the pattern or material.
Will the pink color fade?
Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Store them away from direct light when not in use to preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture. For stubborn marks, a specialized crepe sole cleaner can be applied according to product instructions.
Leather feels stiff after cleaning.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck or suede, following the product's instructions. Allow to dry naturally.
Laces are difficult to thread.
Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. If threading the ribbon lace, it may be easier to gently twist it to reduce bulk before passing through the eyelets.
Color transfer from the sole.
Natural crepe soles can sometimes transfer color, especially when new or wet. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks or trousers in damp conditions until the sole has stabilized.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Wallabee arrives ready to wear. Simply choose your preferred lace option – the tonal flat lace for a classic look or the gingham ribbon lace for a more distinctive style – and thread it through the eyelets.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for casual adult wear and pairs well with a variety of outfits, including jeans, chinos, skirts, and casual dresses. It is best suited for dry weather conditions.
Care:
- Leather Uppers: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly, followed by conditioning to maintain suppleness.
- Crepe Sole: Avoid prolonged contact with oil or solvents, as these can damage the sole. Clean with a suede brush or a damp cloth. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out. For deeper cleaning, use a crepe sole cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe bag to protect the material and color.
