FAQs
What type of leather is used for the White Wallabee?
The White Wallabee features a white tumbled leather combi upper, known for its soft texture.
How many sets of laces come with the shoes?
The shoes come with two sets of laces: a flat tonal lace and a square leather lace, along with signature Clarks Originals lace fobs.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is a natural pebble crepe sole unit, providing signature cushioning and flexibility.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
The Wallabee is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. While stylish, the crepe sole and relaxed silhouette make it less ideal for very formal events.
How should I care for the white leather?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and consider using a specialized white leather cleaner or protectant spray. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What does 'moccasin construction' mean?
Moccasin construction refers to a method where the upper material is stitched around the toe, creating a soft, flexible fit and a distinctive look.
Can I replace the crepe sole?
The crepe sole is an integral part of the shoe's design. While resoling by a professional cobbler might be possible for certain types of wear, it is not a standard or typically recommended service for this model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
The leather and sole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Crepe sole is marked or scuffed.
Try using a clean pencil eraser or a specialized crepe rubber cleaner to gently remove marks. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
White leather shows dirt easily.
Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for white leather, testing on a small area first. Consider applying a leather protectant.
Laces are dirty.
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
