FAQs
What makes this Wallabee edition special?
This edition features premium hair-on uppers with a distinctive tiger print, offering a bold and unique take on the classic Wallabee silhouette.
How should I clean the tiger print hair-on uppers?
Use a soft brush for dusting and avoid excessive moisture. For stains, a slightly damp cloth or specialized cleaners for hair-on leather can be used with caution. Always test cleaning products on a hidden spot first.
Are the natural crepe soles durable?
Natural crepe soles offer excellent comfort and flexibility for everyday wear. However, they are softer than rubber soles and may show wear more quickly with heavy use on abrasive surfaces.
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Thin to medium-thickness socks are generally recommended to maintain a comfortable fit. Given the statement design, you might choose socks that complement or subtly contrast the orange and animal print.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear shoes with hair-on uppers and natural crepe soles in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the materials and affect their appearance and longevity.
How do I know if these are authentic Clarks Originals?
Authenticity is confirmed by the signature fobs attached to the laces and the heat-embossed metallic Originals logo on the sock bed.
What is the fit like for the 'Standard Fit' model?
The 'Standard Fit' refers to the traditional Clarks sizing and width. It is designed to be comfortable for most adult feet, but individual fit can vary. Trying them on or consulting a size guide is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Hair on uppers appears matted or dirty.
Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush to lift the hair. For persistent dirt, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede or hair-on leather, following product instructions carefully and testing on a small area first.
Crepe sole is discolored or stiff.
Discoloration might be due to sun exposure; ensure shoes are stored away from direct light. Stiffness can sometimes be improved by gentle flexing. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals on the sole.
Beaded laces are damaged.
The beads are typically attached securely. If a bead or lace breaks, consider replacing the laces with similar ones, available at shoe care stores.
Shoes feel slightly tight initially.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture during the break-in phase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Uppers: Due to the hair-on nature of the material, avoid excessive moisture. For cleaning, use a soft brush to gently remove dust and debris. For stains, a slightly damp cloth may be used sparingly, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Specialized suede or leather cleaners designed for delicate materials may be used with caution, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Soles: Natural crepe soles can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, as it can cause the crepe to yellow or harden.
- Laces: The tan flat laces with beads can be carefully spot-cleaned or removed and hand-washed with mild soap, then air-dried.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect the uppers from dust and damage.
