FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Wallabee Yukoner features leather uppers which offer some resistance to water. For enhanced waterproofing, especially in wet conditions, applying a dedicated leather waterproofing spray is recommended.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for this type of material. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the benefit of the XL EXTRALIGHT® sole?
The XL EXTRALIGHT® sole is designed to be lightweight yet durable, providing enhanced comfort and stability, particularly beneficial for winter conditions.
Can I wear these shoes in summer?
While the shoe can be worn year-round, its construction with leather uppers and winter-ready sole makes it ideal for cooler months. It might feel warmer than a standard Wallabee in hot weather.
How do I maintain the original look of the leather?
Regularly clean the shoes and apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying. Store them properly when not in use to preserve their shape and finish.
What do the 'Originals FOBs' represent?
The two exclusive FOBs are branding elements unique to Clarks Originals and the Wallabee line, adding a distinctive touch to the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Ensure consistent care, especially in dry or cold weather.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Check the sole for any embedded debris. While designed for winter, extreme conditions may still pose a slipping risk. Ensure the sole is clean.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Lace breaking
Replace the lace with a similar tonal round lace. You can find replacements at Clarks Originals retailers or reputable footwear accessory stores.
