FAQs
How do I clean the beeswax leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth for surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a dedicated beeswax or smooth leather cleaner and conditioner, applying sparingly as per product instructions.
Is the crepe sole durable?
Yes, the natural crepe sole is known for its cushioning and flexibility. While it's soft and can pick up dirt, it's designed for durability and comfort under normal wear conditions.
Are these boots waterproof?
No, these boots are not inherently waterproof. The beeswax leather offers some natural resistance, but for protection against heavy rain or moisture, we recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray.
What is the best way to store my Wallabee Boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, prolonging their life.
What size should I order?
These boots are in UK adult sizing. We recommend checking the official Clarks sizing chart to ensure you select the correct size, especially if you are used to other sizing conventions.
Can I wear these boots all year round?
The Wallabee Boot is versatile. While it can be worn in many seasons, its leather upper and soft sole are ideally suited for dry to mild conditions. For very hot or very wet weather, alternative footwear might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole appears dirty or stained.
Gently rub the stained areas with a clean rubber eraser. For tougher marks, a specialized crepe sole cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Beeswax leather looks dry or dull.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or balm to moisturize and restore the leather's natural luster. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The premium leather may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the leather to mold to your feet for a custom, comfortable fit.
Laces appear worn or frayed.
The flat laces are replaceable. Look for replacement laces of similar length and style to maintain the original aesthetic.
Boots have an odor.
Ensure boots are fully dry after wear. Use shoe deodorizers or natural alternatives like baking soda sachets placed inside the boots overnight. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Wallabee Boots come ready to wear. Simply thread the flat laces through the eyelets and tie them to your preferred tightness. The tonal fobs are decorative and typically sit on the laces near the top eyelet or can be removed if desired.
Compatibility
- Sizing: These boots are available in UK adult sizing. Refer to Clarks' official sizing guide if you are unsure of your UK size equivalent.
- Style: The beeswax leather offers a neutral, versatile palette that complements a wide array of clothing, from jeans and casual shirts to more structured denim and autumnal menswear. They are particularly suited for classic, heritage-inspired, or minimalist wardrobes.
Care
Proper care is essential to preserve the premium beeswax leather and the unique crepe sole of your Wallabee Boots.
- Leather Cleaning: Gently wipe off any surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for beeswax or smooth leather. Apply sparingly and follow the product's instructions.
- Leather Conditioning: To prevent the beeswax leather from drying out and to maintain its supple feel and rich color, regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner or balm. This is especially important after cleaning or if the leather appears dull.
- Water Protection: While the leather offers some natural resistance, for enhanced protection against water and stains, consider applying a suitable leather protector spray. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole is soft and can pick up dirt and debris easily. To clean, gently rub the affected area with a rubber eraser or a specialized crepe sole cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the sole's texture. For serious stains, a very light application of fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 600-800 grit) can carefully remove the top layer of stained rubber, but use this method sparingly and with extreme caution.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
