FAQs
How do I clean the leather of my Wallabee Boots?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth for surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a specialist leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for beeswax or oiled leather, following product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What's the best way to clean the crepe sole?
The crepe sole is best cleaned with a dedicated crepe brush or crepe rubber. Gently rub the stained or dirty areas to lift off grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Are these boots waterproof?
The premium leather uppers offer some natural resistance to light moisture, but the Wallabee Boots are not fully waterproof. We recommend using a quality waterproof and stain-repellent spray for leather to add protection against rain and spills.
Do Wallabee Boots run true to size?
Clarks Originals generally run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. The leather will conform slightly to your foot shape over time.
How long should I expect my Wallabee Boots to last?
With proper care and maintenance, your Wallabee Boots are built to be durable and long-lasting. The premium leather and sturdy construction are designed for extended wear, making them a lasting investment.
Can I wear these boots all year round?
Yes, Wallabee Boots are versatile enough for year-round wear in most climates. They are particularly comfortable in spring, summer, and autumn. In colder, wetter conditions, additional protection for the leather and sole is advisable.
How do I prevent the leather from creasing?
Natural creasing is a normal characteristic of genuine leather and adds to the boot's unique character. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper sizing, use shoe trees when storing, and keep the leather conditioned to maintain its suppleness.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather thoroughly and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or balm. Buff gently with a soft cloth.
Crepe sole is attracting excessive dirt and debris.
Regularly clean the crepe sole using a specialized crepe brush or rubber cleaner. Avoid walking on heavily soiled surfaces when possible.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather boots. Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations initially. The leather will soften and conform to your foot.
Leather gets wet and leaves water marks.
Immediately blot away excess water with a clean, dry cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, clean and condition the leather. Consider applying a water-repellent spray beforehand.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Crepe soles offer good traction on most dry surfaces but can be less grippy on very wet or icy conditions. Exercise caution on such surfaces. The sole's grip may improve slightly with wear.

Care Instructions
To ensure your Clarks Originals Wallabee Boots retain their premium look and feel, regular care is essential:
- Leather Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for beeswax or oiled leather, following the product's instructions.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner or balm to keep the leather soft, prevent drying, and maintain its natural luster. This is crucial for preserving the butter-soft feel.
- Leather Protection: Use a waterproof and stain-repellent spray designed for leather to protect the boots from moisture and spills, especially before wearing them in damp conditions.
- Crepe Sole Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and debris. To clean, use a crepe brush or a dedicated crepe rubber cleaner. Gently rub the affected areas to lift dirt and restore the sole's texture. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the crepe material.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Excessive Water: While protected, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided to prevent damage to the leather and sole.
