FAQs
How do I break in my Wallabees?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking around the house is a good way to let them mold to your feet.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While leather can withstand light moisture, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain as it can damage the leather and the natural crepe sole.
How do I choose the correct size?
It is recommended to consult the Clarks size chart. Many find that Wallabees fit true to size, but trying them on or comparing measurements to your current footwear is advisable.
What is the difference between the tonal and square leather laces?
The tonal laces match the primary color of the shoe for a subtle look, while the square leather laces offer a more distinct, textured detail.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee generally offers a standard fit. If you have wider feet, consider trying them on to assess comfort, as the tumbled leather does offer some flexibility.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or appear dry.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole appears dirty or discolored
Gently clean the sole with a damp cloth or a dedicated crepe rubber cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, a specialized crepe eraser may be effective.
Leather feels stiff or dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for tumbled leather using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb and buff gently.
Laces are frayed or worn
Replace laces with a new pair. The product includes a second set of laces for this purpose.
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to moisture. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe near the sole if the sound persists.
