FAQs
How often should I apply suede protector to my Wallabee Boots?
It's recommended to apply a suede protector before the first wear and then every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you wear them often or in challenging conditions.
Are Clarks Originals Wallabee Boots true to size?
Yes, these boots feature a standard fit and are generally considered true to UK size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size.
Can I wear these boots in winter or snowy conditions?
While the boot offers comfort, suede is not ideal for heavy rain or snow as it can get damaged and stained. For snowy or very wet conditions, consider footwear designed specifically for those environments.
What is the best way to store my Wallabee Boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases.
Is the crepe sole durable?
The natural crepe sole is known for its cushioning and flexibility. While durable for everyday wear, it is softer than synthetic soles and can show wear more quickly, especially if worn on very abrasive surfaces. Regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance.
What if I get an oil or grease stain on the suede?
Oil-based stains on suede can be challenging. For fresh stains, gently press a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb as much oil as possible. You can try a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder left overnight to absorb the oil, then brush it off. For persistent stains, professional suede cleaning is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Gently brush the entire boot with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Crepe sole is attracting excessive dirt or small debris.
Regularly wipe the crepe sole with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated grime. For sticky residue, a soft rubber eraser can sometimes help, followed by a gentle wipe.
Boots feel a bit stiff during initial wear.
The butter-soft suede typically breaks in quickly. Wear them for short periods initially, allowing the material to mold to your feet. This is a normal process for high-quality footwear.
Boots got wet and the suede looks discolored.
Do not rub. Blot excess water with a clean towel. Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain shape. Let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its nap.

Care Instructions
Suede Care:
- Protect: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, treat the suede with a high-quality suede protector spray to repel water and stains.
- Clean: For surface dirt or dust, gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Stains: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner. Allow to air dry completely, then brush.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not naturally waterproof. Avoid wearing your boots in heavy rain or excessively wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
Crepe Sole Care:
- Clean: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and small debris. Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away accumulated grime.
- Avoid Solvents: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners on the crepe sole as they can damage the material.
Storage:
- Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
