FAQs
What is the main material of the Wallabee Boot?
The Clarks Originals Wallabee Boot is crafted from premium butter-soft leather for both the upper, complemented by the iconic natural crepe sole.
How do I clean the crepe sole effectively?
The best way to clean the natural crepe sole is by using a specialized crepe sole brush. Gently rub the brush across the sole to lift dirt and restore its texture. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the Wallabee Boot is not designed to be waterproof. The premium leather and natural crepe sole are susceptible to water damage, so it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions. A water-resistant spray can offer some protection.
How often should I condition the leather?
For optimal care, we recommend conditioning the butter-soft leather every two to three months, or more frequently if the boots are worn often or exposed to dry conditions. This keeps the leather supple and prevents cracking.
What size should I choose?
This specific variant is a UK adult size 6.5. Clarks Originals generally run true to size. If you are unsure, we recommend consulting a Clarks size guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these boots in winter?
The Wallabee Boot can be worn in dry winter conditions. However, due to the nature of the leather and crepe sole, they are not ideal for snow, ice, or slush, which can damage the materials and reduce grip.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically formulated for butter-soft leather. This will restore moisture and suppleness.
Crepe sole is very dirty or sticky
Use a specialized crepe sole brush to gently rub off dirt and grime. For stickiness, avoid walking on very hot surfaces. A mild soap solution on a cloth can be used very sparingly for tough spots, then wiped clean.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The butter-soft leather will naturally break in and mold to your feet over time. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow for a comfortable break-in.
Laces fraying or becoming worn
Laces are subject to wear and tear. Replacement laces of similar style and length can be purchased from shoe accessory retailers or Clarks Originals.
Boot loses its shape when not worn
Insert shoe trees when storing your boots. This helps absorb moisture and maintain the original shape of the leather upper.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your Wallabee Boots.
Leather Upper (Butter-Soft Leather)
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft shoe brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following product instructions.
- Conditioning: Every few months, or as needed, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is crucial for butter-soft leather.
- Protection: Use a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for leather to guard against moisture and spills. Reapply periodically.
- Polishing: For a refreshed look, a neutral or brown leather polish can be applied sparingly and buffed to a gentle shine.
Crepe Sole
- Cleaning: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and debris easily. Use a specialized crepe sole brush to gently rub away marks and restore the texture. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Stubborn Marks: For very stubborn marks, a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth can be used with extreme caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
General Care
- Drying: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
