FAQs
Are Clarks Wallabee Boots true to size?
Clarks Wallabee Boots generally run true to size for most individuals. If you are typically between sizes or prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider trying the larger size. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
The frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. As a general guide, clean the leather after every few wears and condition every 1-3 months, or when the leather starts to look dry or dull.
Can I wear my Wallabee Boots in the rain?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect both the leather and the crepe sole. A waterproof spray designed for leather can add an extra layer of protection, but will not make them fully waterproof.
What is unique about the crepe sole?
The crepe sole is a signature feature of the Wallabee. It's made from natural raw rubber, providing superior cushioning, flexibility, and a distinctive textured look. It's known for its comfort and durability, though it requires specific care.
How do I store my Wallabee Boots when not in use?
Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes. Using shoe trees can help them maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture from wear.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Info needed: [Clarks width offerings or fit recommendation for Wallabee specific to width]. Generally, the moccasin construction can be accommodating, but for specific wide-fit needs, checking Clarks' official sizing information or trying them on is advised.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole appears excessively dirty or discolored
The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt easily. Use a stiff brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, a clean rubber eraser can gently rub away marks. Avoid walking on very muddy or oily surfaces when possible.
Leather looks dry, dull, or has minor scuffs
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm with a soft cloth. Gently buff minor scuffs with a slightly damp cloth or a specialized leather care product. Regular conditioning will keep the leather supple.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods at first, allowing the leather to soften and conform to your foot's shape. This 'break-in' period improves comfort significantly.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are using a secure knot (like a double knot). If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, quality flat laces to ensure better grip when tied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Lacing: Ensure the flat laces are tied snugly but not overly tight, allowing for comfortable foot movement.
- Break-in Period: Like all quality leather footwear, your Wallabee Boots may feel a little stiff initially. Wear them for shorter periods during the first few days or weeks to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot's shape.
Compatibility & Styling Tips
Wallabee Boots are incredibly versatile. Consider these pairing suggestions:

Product Care & Maintenance
Consistent care is crucial for preserving the appearance and longevity of your Wallabee Boots.
- Cleaning Leather Uppers:
- Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dust and light dirt after each wear.
- For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions.
- Condition the leather regularly (every few weeks to months, depending on wear) with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Cleaning Crepe Soles:
- The natural crepe sole can attract dirt. Gently brush off loose debris with a stiff bristle brush.
- For stubborn marks, a rubber eraser can often lift grime without damaging the material. Rub gently in one direction.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the natural rubber.
- Protection:
- Consider applying a quality leather protector spray to add a layer of water and stain resistance. Ensure the product is suitable for the type of leather.
- Storage:
- Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
- Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Allow boots to air out for 24 hours between wears if possible.
