FAQs
What is the main difference between the Wallabee and other Clarks shoes?
The Wallabee is distinguished by its unique moccasin construction, signature crepe sole, and often a two-eyelet lacing system, creating a distinct silhouette compared to other Clarks shoe styles.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, the crepe sole is not ideal for prolonged exposure to wet conditions and can absorb moisture. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp weather.
How do I find the correct size?
The product specifies a UK 7.5 size. It's recommended to check Clarks' official sizing chart for accurate foot measurement and conversion, as sizes can vary between styles and brands.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the Wallabee is often worn sockless due to its comfortable interior and breathable leather. However, wearing thin socks can help manage moisture and prevent odor.
What does 'RB' stand for in Wallabee RB?
The 'RB' designation typically refers to the type of sole construction or a specific update to the classic Wallabee model, often indicating a particular rubber compound or design iteration of the crepe sole.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice it looking dry or if you wear the shoes frequently in challenging conditions. Always test a new product on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Natural creasing is normal for leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not wearing. Avoid over-conditioning, which can soften the leather too much.
Crepe sole appears dirty or scuffed
Use a specialized crepe rubber cleaner or a clean pencil eraser to gently remove marks. For general dirt, a damp cloth can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size; a UK 7.5 is indicated.
Color transfer from leather to socks
This can occur with new, dark leather items. It usually reduces with wear. Wearing darker socks can help mask any minor transfer. Ensure the leather is properly finished.

Care Instructions:
