FAQs
What type of socks are best with the Wallabee EVO Bar?
Ankle socks or no-show socks are ideal to maintain the clean aesthetic of the shoe. Thicker socks may alter the fit and appearance.
How durable is the crepe-effect sole?
The crepe-effect sole provides good comfort and cushioning for everyday wear. However, like most softer soles, it may show wear more quickly than harder synthetic materials with extensive or heavy use.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While suede protector sprays can offer some resistance, suede is not ideal for heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to preserve the material's condition.
What makes the T-bar profile unique?
The T-bar profile is a distinct design feature that adds a fashionable, slightly vintage yet contemporary edge to the classic Wallabee silhouette, setting it apart from standard models.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Is the sizing true to size?
Clarks Originals generally run true to size, but suede can have a slight give. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for sock thickness and overall fit.
What is the main difference between this and a classic Wallabee?
The main difference lies in the 'EVO Bar' design, which typically includes a modernized silhouette like the T-bar profile, alongside updated sole treatments, while retaining the core Wallabee comfort and craftsmanship.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the suede to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Water stains on suede.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, brush with a suede brush. For persistent stains, a suede cleaner may be necessary, test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the sole is clean. For new shoes, the sole might be smoother; light scuffing on a rough surface can improve grip. Consider a shoe repair specialist for more aggressive texturing if needed.
