FAQs
Are the Clarks Originals Wallabee RB waterproof?
No, the leather and crepe sole are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a waterproofing spray suitable for leather for protection against moisture.
How should I clean the crepe sole?
Use a specialized crepe rubber cleaner or a pencil eraser to gently rub away marks and dirt. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners on the sole.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
These shoes pair well with various sock types, including no-show socks for a cleaner look, or thinner dress socks. Choose based on comfort and the outfit you are wearing.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight. There should be enough room to wiggle your toes. Consider trying them on at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, the crepe sole is not ideal for very wet conditions as it can become slippery and may stain. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to dry conditions or heavy wear, to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
What is the difference between the Wallabee and Wallabee RB?
The 'RB' typically denotes specific updates or variations within the Wallabee line, often related to materials, sole construction, or design details, while maintaining the core Wallabee aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.
Crepe sole is dirty or marked
Use a specialized crepe rubber cleaner or a soft eraser to gently remove marks. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces are worn or frayed
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Clarks or other shoe retailers offer replacement laces.
Fit feels slightly tight initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to stretch and conform to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions during the break-in period.
