FAQs
How do I clean the brush-off leather on my Wallabees?
For the brush-off leather, use a soft brush to remove surface dust. For stains or deeper cleaning, use a cleaner specifically formulated for multi-tone or brushed leathers. Always test in an inconspicuous area first and avoid excessive moisture.
Are the crepe soles durable?
The natural crepe sole provides excellent cushioning and grip. However, like all natural crepe, it can wear down over time, especially with heavy use on abrasive surfaces. It's also more susceptible to attracting dirt than synthetic soles.
How should I store my Wallabees when not in use?
Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Clarks Originals Wallabees generally fit true to size for most customers. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to check the size guide and consider trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these Wallabees in wet weather?
While the leather is treated, it is not fully waterproof. The crepe sole can also become slippery when wet. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and ensure safety.
What is the difference between the black and brown versions?
The primary difference is the color family. Both versions feature the premium brush-off leather with a multi-dimensional color effect, but the base and revealed colors will differ (black vs. brown tones). The construction and core features remain the same.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole feels sticky or gummy.
This can happen due to heat or age. Try cleaning the sole with a specialized crepe sole cleaner. Store in a cool environment.
Leather appears dull or uneven in color.
Use a soft brush to gently buff the leather and restore the multi-dimensional effect. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for brush-off or multi-tone leathers.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. The natural leather and crepe sole will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Laces wear out or fray.
Replace the laces with a similar length and style. Flat laces in a matching or complementary color are recommended.

Care Instructions:
- Leather Cleaning: Due to the unique brush-off leather finish, it's recommended to use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner designed for multi-tone or brushed leathers. Avoid excessive water.
- Polishing: A soft brush can be used to maintain the leather's texture. For the multi-color effect, avoid heavy polishing that might obscure the underlying layers of color.
- Crepe Sole Care: Clean the crepe sole with a damp cloth or a specialized crepe sole cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, as this can damage the natural material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and moisture. Stuffing with shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
