FAQs
What materials are the Clarks Originals Wallabee made from?
The Wallabee features butter-soft leather uppers, natural crepe soles, waxy laces, and a sheepskin lining for enhanced comfort.
How do I clean the natural crepe soles?
Gently brush off surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized crepe sole cleaning block. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. Keep them away from extreme heat and direct sunlight.
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
The leather uppers and natural crepe soles are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. While the leather offers some resistance, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is 'moccasin construction'?
Moccasin construction refers to a method where the upper part of the shoe wraps around the foot from below, providing a highly flexible and comfortable fit that molds well to the foot's natural shape.
How should I care for the leather uppers?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and condition regularly with a high-quality leather conditioner or beeswax cream. A protective spray is recommended for water and stain resistance. Always test care products on an inconspicuous area first.
Is the sizing true to UK standards?
Yes, Clarks Originals Wallabees typically follow standard UK adult shoe sizing. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. Info needed: For specific fit recommendations, consult a Clarks Originals sizing guide if available.
Troubleshooting
Crepe soles attracting excessive dirt/debris.
Gently brush the soles with a soft brush after each wear. For embedded dirt, use a specialized crepe sole cleaning block or a very lightly damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the material.
Leather uppers appear dull or dry.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or beeswax cream to moisturize and restore the luster. Follow the product instructions for application and buffing.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with premium leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather and moccasin construction to conform to your foot shape. This 'break-in' period improves comfort over time.
Water marks or stains on leather.
For fresh marks, blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for beeswax leather may be needed. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Regular application of a water-repellent spray can help prevent future stains.

Care Instructions
Proper care will preserve the premium materials and iconic look of your Wallabees for years to come.
- Leather Uppers: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a high-quality leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for beeswax or smooth leather. Apply a protective spray to help repel water and stains.
- Natural Crepe Soles: The natural crepe sole is soft and can pick up dirt easily. Gently clean the soles with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the crepe. For stubborn marks, a special crepe sole cleaning block can be used. Store away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent the crepe from becoming sticky or hardening.
- Laces: If the waxy laces become worn or dirty, they can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Replacement laces are available if needed.
- Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
