FAQs
How do I clean my beige suede Wallabees?
For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately. Consider a professional suede cleaner for deep stains.
Are Wallabee shoes waterproof?
No, suede Wallabees are not inherently waterproof. It's highly recommended to apply a quality suede and nubuck protector spray before wearing them, and to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I care for the natural crepe sole?
Wipe dirt off with a damp cloth. If the sole becomes sticky, you can lightly dust it with talcum powder and then wipe off. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the natural rubber.
Do Wallabees run true to size?
Clarks Originals Wallabees generally run true to UK standard fit sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always best to refer to a size guide if unsure.
Can I wear Wallabees in winter?
While comfortable, the suede material and natural crepe sole are not ideal for heavy snow, slush, or icy conditions. They are best suited for dry, cooler weather.
What is the best way to store my Wallabees?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when they are not being worn.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For stubborn areas, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Suede has water spots or light stains
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap. For persistent spots, a damp cloth (not wet) or a suede cleaner designed for water stains may be used, followed by brushing.
Crepe sole feels sticky or attracts lint/dirt
Gently wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stickiness, you can lightly dust the sole with talcum powder, then brush off any excess. Avoid walking on very hot or extremely dirty surfaces.
Laces constantly untie
Ensure you are tying a proper square knot. For extra security, a double knot can be used.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wallabees are known for their comfort, but like all new shoes, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the suede and sole to conform to your feet.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care of your suede Wallabees is crucial for longevity and maintaining their appearance.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede with a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates an invisible barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning (Suede):
- Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- For scuffs or stubborn marks, use a suede eraser (rubber or gum eraser) and rub gently over the affected area.
- If the nap becomes flattened or matted, use the suede brush to restore it.
- Stain Removal (Suede):
- For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub.
- For dried stains, use a suede brush or eraser. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner foam or spray may be necessary, following product instructions carefully.
- Crepe Sole Care:
- Cleaning Dirt: Gently wipe the soles with a damp cloth or soft sponge. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure it does not come into contact with the suede upper.
- Removing Stickiness: Crepe soles can become slightly sticky over time or in warm conditions. You can gently rub a small amount of talcum powder onto the sole, then wipe it off, to reduce stickiness.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the crepe sole as they can damage the natural rubber.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
