FAQs
Are the Clarks Originals Wallabee suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee generally has a medium width fit. If you have wider feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or check reviews for specific feedback on fit.
How do I clean the 'Baby Pink' leather?
Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could affect the color. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, the crepe sole is not ideal for very wet conditions. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the origin of the Wallabee design?
The Wallabee was first introduced by Clarks in 1968 and quickly became popular across various subcultures worldwide.
How should the crepe sole be maintained?
Clean the crepe sole with a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid exposing it to high temperatures or solvents, as this can degrade the rubber.
What does 'tonal fobs' mean?
Tonal fobs are small decorative tags that match the primary color of the shoe, in this case, the 'Baby Pink' leather, signifying the brand's heritage.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Wallabee series is available in a wide range of colors and materials. This specific model features the 'Baby Pink' leather.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole feels sticky or discolored
Crepe rubber can naturally oxidize or react to certain surfaces. Clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Leather scuffs or marks easily
Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner for light-colored leather. For minor scuffs, a leather eraser or a slightly damp cloth may help. Consider a leather protector spray for added resistance.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Try a double knot or replace the ribbon laces with a more traditional waxed lace for better hold. Ensure laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets.
