FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee has a classic moccasin fit. While generally comfortable, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.
How should I protect the tiger print hair-on material?
You can use a specialized spray protector for suede and hair-on materials. Always test the product on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn't alter the color or texture.
Will the crepe sole wear down quickly?
Natural crepe soles offer excellent comfort but can be softer than rubber. They may show wear faster on abrasive surfaces. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive use on rough terrain can help prolong their life.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet conditions as the suede and hair-on materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.
What is the 'Hair-On' pack?
The 'Hair-On' pack is a collection by Clarks Originals that features footwear utilizing premium calf hair for its uppers, offering a unique textural and visual element.
What is the difference between this and a standard Wallabee?
This version is a special edition from the 'Hair-On' pack, distinguished by its tiger print hair-on uppers and suede detailing, offering a bolder aesthetic compared to standard suede or leather Wallabees.
Troubleshooting
Suede or hair-on material looks flat or dull.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the texture and nap. Brush in consistent directions.
Crepe sole appears dirty or stained.
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized crepe sole cleaner might be necessary. Avoid abrasive scrubbing.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to naturally conform to your foot shape. The crepe sole will soften with wear.
Water spots on suede or hair-on.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. For persistent marks, consider a suede protector spray applied before wear (test first).
