FAQs
What is the best way to clean the tiger print hair-on uppers?
Gently brush with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh cleaning agents. Specialized hair-on cleaners can be used cautiously.
How do I care for the natural crepe sole?
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth to clean. Crepe soles can absorb dirt and stains, so clean them promptly. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, which can affect the material's integrity.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
The hair-on and suede materials are not inherently waterproof, and the crepe sole can be slippery when wet. It is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider a protective spray designed for suede and exotic materials.
What is the fit like for the Wallabee?
The Wallabee generally offers a comfortable fit with a unique moccasin construction. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary by individual foot shape. They are designed for adult male sizing.
Can the signature fobs be removed?
The signature fobs are design elements and are typically attached semi-permanently. While they might be removable with care, it is not recommended as it could damage the shoe.
What does 'hair-on' material mean?
'Hair-on' refers to leather that retains its natural hair or fur. In this case, it's premium calf hair treated to maintain its texture and pattern for a distinctive look.
What is the origin of the Wallabee shoe?
The Wallabee is an iconic shoe designed by Clarks Originals, first introduced in the 1960s. It is known for its distinctive moccasin construction and crepe sole.
Troubleshooting
Hair-on material appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the hair-on material with a soft brush in the direction of the grain. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to oversaturate. Consider a specialized cleaner for hair-on leather if needed.
Crepe sole looks discolored or stained
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth immediately after any marks appear. For persistent discoloration, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth. Ensure the shoes dry naturally away from direct heat.
Suede accents have scuff marks
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove light scuffs. For deeper marks, a suede eraser can be employed. Always brush in one direction to maintain the suede's appearance.
Laces are dirty or worn
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or replace them with a new pair of flat laces of a similar length.
