FAQs

How often should I clean the suede?

It's recommended to brush the suede after every few wears to remove surface dust. Apply protector spray periodically, especially before anticipated exposure to damp conditions. Deep cleaning should be done as needed for stains.

Is the crepe sole durable for everyday wear?

The natural crepe sole is known for its comfort and flexibility. While durable for urban and light use, it is softer than traditional rubber soles and may show wear faster, especially with heavy or abrasive use.

Can I wear these boots in the rain?

While a suede protector can offer some resistance, black suede boots are generally not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions. Water can stain suede and potentially damage the material. For rainy days, consider waterproof footwear.

What does 'Fit G - Standard fit' mean?

Fit G denotes a standard or regular width fit in Clarks' sizing system. It is designed to accommodate most foot shapes comfortably. If you typically wear a standard width, this fit should be appropriate.

How do I choose the correct size?

Clarks Originals Wallabee Boots generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK boot size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Are these boots suitable for warm weather?

The black suede material may feel warm in very hot temperatures. However, for milder warm weather, their breathability can be adequate. They are generally more suited for spring, autumn, and winter wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dull.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps to lift dirt and restore the texture.

Crepe sole is attracting excessive dirt and appears very dark.

Wipe the crepe sole with a clean, slightly damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn grime, a rubber eraser can sometimes be used carefully to lift surface dirt.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Suede boots often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to conform to your feet. Ensure proper lacing for a secure, yet not overly tight, fit.

Suede has water spots or stains.

If already wet, allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent water spots, a suede eraser or specific suede cleaner might be needed. Always apply a protector spray *before* wearing them in damp conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium look and longevity of your Wallabee Boots.

Suede Care

  1. Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Brushing: Regularly use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp, clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
  4. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

Crepe Sole Care

  1. Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can attract dust and dirt. Gently wipe the sole with a slightly damp cloth (plain water) to remove surface grime.
  2. Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners on the crepe sole as they can damage the material.
  3. Scuffs: Minor scuffs or marks on the crepe can sometimes be gently rubbed out with a clean rubber eraser.

By following these care steps, your Black Suede Wallabee Boots will continue to look their best for years.
