FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Wallabee has a classic moccasin construction which tends to adapt to the foot. However, it is designed with a tailored fit for the female foot and may not be ideal for very wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

How do I clean the 'Pink Interest' suede?

Use a specialized suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser is effective. Always allow the shoe to air dry naturally and avoid soaking the suede.

What is the origin of the Wallabee design?

The Clarks Originals Wallabee first debuted in 1968 and has since been adopted by various subcultures globally. This model retains that iconic design.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the natural crepe sole offers some grip, suede is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What does 'Pink Interest' refer to?

'Pink Interest' is the specific name of the vibrant pink shade used for the suede uppers on this particular model.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of natural pebble crepe, a type of natural rubber known for its grip and durability.

Do these shoes come with special fobs?

Yes, this model features bespoke fobs that are part of the design, signaling Clarks' heritage.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For wet stains, blot gently with a clean cloth and allow to air dry completely. Then, use a suede brush to restore the texture.

Shoes feel too tight initially

Suede is a natural material that will stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape.

Crepe sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Natural crepe soles offer good grip but can be slick on very polished or wet surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Light scuffing of the sole can sometimes improve grip.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store shoes properly when not in use. Using a suede protector with UV inhibitors can also help.
