FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede upper is absorbent. It is recommended to use a protective spray to minimize potential water damage.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can replace the laces, though you may need to source specific flat laces to maintain the original look.
Are the silver beads removable?
The beads are part of the seasonal design and are typically integrated into the lacing system.
Do I need to wear socks?
The interior is comfortable enough for bare feet, but wearing socks is recommended for hygiene and to manage moisture.
How do I know if they are authentic?
Always purchase from authorized Clarks retailers or official stores to ensure you are receiving a genuine product with original materials.
What is the best way to clean tough stains?
Take them to a professional shoe cobbler who specializes in suede cleaning to prevent permanent damage.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush in circular motions to lift the fibers and restore the texture.
Crepe sole is picking up dirt
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the edges of the sole, but avoid scrubbing the upper.
Tight fit around the instep
The suede will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape after a few days of wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabees stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to guard against environmental damage.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to lift surface dirt and revive the nap of the material. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
- Sole Maintenance: If the natural crepe sole picks up small pebbles, gently dislodge them with a dull tool. Avoid harsh cleaning solvents on the rubber.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede color from fading over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit true to standard adult sizing, but if you have a high instep, consider wearing thinner socks during the initial break-in period.
