FAQs
How should I care for the suede material?
It is recommended to use a suede protector spray and a suede brush for regular cleaning. Avoid excessive moisture and use specialized suede cleaners for stains.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While suede can be treated for water resistance, it is generally advisable to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.
What is the main difference between the two sets of laces?
The shoes come with one pair of white laces and one pair of striped laces. The white laces offer a classic look, while the striped laces complement the shoe's patterned upper for a more coordinated aesthetic.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Clarks Originals. The Wallabee is a low shoe, and it's recommended to try them on if possible to ensure a comfortable fit, as personal preference for snugness can vary.
What is the natural pebble crepe sole made of?
The natural pebble crepe sole is made from vulcanized latex, sourced sustainably, which provides cushioning and flexibility.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
The Wallabee is primarily a casual shoe. While its design is clean, it is not typically considered formal wear and is best suited for smart-casual or relaxed outfits.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears stained or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Crepe sole is sticky or dirty
Wipe the crepe sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth to remove residue. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
Shoe shape is lost
Use shoe trees made of cedar wood to help maintain the shoe's shape when not in use. Stuffing the shoes with paper can also help if shoe trees are not available.
Laces are worn out
Replace the laces with a similar style and length. You can use the alternative set of laces provided with the shoes or purchase new ones.
