FAQs
Are Clarks Wallabee Low Shoes suitable for wet weather?
Due to their premium suede uppers, these shoes are not ideal for heavy rain or very wet conditions. Water can stain and damage suede. It's recommended to apply a suede protector spray and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
How do I clean the signature fob?
The iconic signature fob can be gently wiped clean with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals on it.
What kind of sole do these shoes have?
The Clarks Wallabee Low Shoes feature a lightweight EVA sole, which provides comfort, flexibility, and good shock absorption for everyday wear.
Are these shoes true to size?
Clarks Wallabee shoes are generally considered true to size. We recommend purchasing your standard `UK 6` size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best fit.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if needed. You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online retailers.
How should I store my Wallabees when not in use?
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing of the suede over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Gently brush the entire surface with a dedicated suede brush, moving in a single direction to lift the nap.
Shoes feel a bit stiff initially
This is normal for new shoes, especially suede. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Developed a scuff or light stain on the suede
For scuffs, use a suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. For light stains, a damp cloth (not wet) and a specialized suede cleaner can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. If severe, consider professional cleaning.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Verify you have the correct `UK 6` size. If slightly loose, try thicker socks or an insole. If tight, allow more time for the suede to stretch and mold to your foot, or consider a half size up if discomfort persists.
