FAQs
What is the primary material of the Clarks Originals Wallabee?
The main material for the upper is butter-soft suede, complemented by a natural crepe rubber sole. This specific variant features a beige suede upper.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles. Applying a quality suede protector spray can offer some resistance but will not make them fully waterproof.
How do I maintain the natural crepe sole?
The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt. Use a specialized crepe rubber cleaning block or brush to gently rub off dirt and grime to keep it clean.
Are Clarks Wallabees true to size?
Clarks Wallabees are generally considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying your usual size first.
Can I wear these shoes with formal attire?
While highly versatile, Wallabees are typically best suited for casual to smart-casual attire. They pair excellently with chinos, jeans, tailored shorts, and relaxed trousers rather than traditional formal wear.
Do I need to break them in?
The butter-soft suede provides comfort from the start, but like most quality shoes, there might be a short period where they conform more to your foot for optimal personalized comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Crepe sole is attracting dirt and looking discolored
Use a specialized crepe cleaning block or brush to rub away accumulated dirt and rejuvenate the sole's natural texture and color.
Shoes feel a bit stiff initially
The premium suede will soften and mold to your foot with wear. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow for a comfortable break-in.
Water spots or stains on suede
If already stained, allow the shoe to dry naturally. Then, gently try to brush or use a suede eraser. For prevention, regularly apply a suede protector spray.

Compatibility
These Wallabees are designed for adults and offer immense styling compatibility. They are gender-neutral in their appeal and can be paired with diverse wardrobe choices. Their beige hue makes them a neutral base for many color palettes. They complement various styles, from casual, streetwear, and bohemian to smart-casual and even some minimalist professional looks. They are suitable for general daily wear, urban environments, and social gatherings.
Care
Maintaining the pristine look of your beige suede Wallabees requires consistent care:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning Suede: For dry dirt and scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush away debris. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Crepe Sole Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and darken. Use a specialized crepe rubber cleaning block or brush to gently rub away marks and restore its appearance.
- Avoid Wet Conditions: Suede is susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing your Wallabees in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape, and away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
