FAQs

What is the best way to clean the suede on my Wallabees?

For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Always treat water or oil stains immediately with appropriate suede cleaners or by blotting gently.

How do I protect my Wallabees from water and stains?

Apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray to your boots before wearing them, and reapply periodically according to the product's instructions. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and stains.

Is the crepe sole durable?

Yes, the natural crepe rubber sole is known for its durability and excellent traction. However, it's a natural material that can attract dirt and may show wear patterns. Regular cleaning will help maintain its appearance and longevity.

Can I wear my Wallabees in the rain?

While a protector spray offers some resistance, Wallabees with suede uppers are not designed for heavy rain or very wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the suede and potentially the sole. It's best to wear them in dry or mildly damp weather.

How do Wallabees typically fit?

Clarks Wallabees generally fit true to size for UK sizing. However, shoe fit can vary by individual foot shape. If unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a sizing guide. The suede will also mold to your foot over time.

What occasions are Wallabees suitable for?

Their versatile design makes them suitable for a wide range of occasions. They are perfect for casual wear with jeans or chinos, and can also be dressed up for smart-casual events, informal work settings, or relaxed evening gatherings.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or has minor scuffs.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps to restore its texture and remove light marks. For deeper scuffs, a suede eraser can be applied gently.

Crepe sole feels sticky or looks very dirty.

The natural crepe sole can pick up debris. Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized crepe sole cleaning product to gently wipe away dirt. Some find rubbing the soles against each other can also help remove superficial dirt.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Clarks Wallabees, especially with their structural silhouette and quality materials, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the suede and sole to mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

Suede has a water stain.

If the stain is fresh, gently blot with a clean, dry cloth. For dried water marks, dampen the entire affected area with a light mist of clean water (avoiding soaking), then brush with a suede brush as it dries to achieve an even texture. For stubborn stains, professional suede cleaning is recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and iconic design that adds a distinctive style.
  • Superior comfort due to moccasin construction and soft materials.
  • Versatile for pairing with a wide range of outfits, from casual to smart-casual.
  • Excellent grip and traction provided by the natural crepe rubber sole.
  • High-quality materials, including buttery suede and sheepskin lining, for durability and feel.

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific care and can be susceptible to stains and water damage.
  • Crepe sole can attract dirt and dust, and may show wear over time more visibly than other sole types.
  • Not ideal for heavy rain or extremely wet conditions due to the suede upper.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort, as with many quality leather/suede shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First-Time Use

No specific 'setup' is required for your Wallabee boots. Simply lace them up and enjoy. You might want to consider applying a suede protector spray before your first wear to help repel water and resist stains.

Compatibility

  • Occasions: Ideal for casual outings, smart-casual events, and certain formal occasions where a unique style is appreciated. Their versatility makes them a wardrobe staple.
  • Weather: Best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid heavy rain or snowy environments to protect the suede.

Product Care

Maintaining the quality and appearance of your suede Wallabees and their crepe soles requires specific attention:

  1. Suede Protection: Regularly apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.
  2. Cleaning Suede: For dirt or scuffs, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove debris. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.
  3. Drying Suede: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
  4. Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and become sticky. Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, or use specialized crepe sole cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber. Some users find gently rubbing two crepe soles together helps clean them.
  5. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
