FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Steads Scotch grain leather offers good natural resistance to light moisture, but the Walla Yukoner is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray designed for leather for enhanced water resistance, especially if planning to wear them in wet conditions.

How do I choose the correct size?

The Clarks Originals Walla Yukoner generally fits true to size based on UK sizing. We recommend referring to a size chart and trying them on if possible to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thick socks.

Can these be worn in summer?

While versatile, the Walla Yukoner features a design and materials optimized for colder seasons, including the robust leather and XL EXTRALIGHT® sole. They might feel warm during hot summer months, making them more suitable for autumn and winter.

What is Steads Scotch grain leather?

Steads Scotch grain leather is a premium, textured leather known for its durability, distinct pebble-grain finish, and robust quality. It offers a sophisticated look and enhanced resistance to wear compared to smooth leathers.

How do I clean the XL EXTRALIGHT® sole?

The XL EXTRALIGHT® sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap or a shoe cleaner designed for synthetic soles. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

What are the FOBs included with the shoes?

The shoes come with two exclusive Clarks Originals FOBs: one featuring the classic Clarks Originals logo and another with the iconic Wallabee™ logo. These are decorative accessories that highlight the shoe's authenticity and heritage.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Clean the leather with a soft cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a quality leather conditioner. Buff gently after application to restore luster and moisture.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Like many premium leather shoes, the Walla Yukoner may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first, gradually increasing wear time to allow the leather to mold comfortably to your feet.

Slipping on very wet or icy surfaces

While the XL EXTRALIGHT® sole offers good stability, exercise caution on extremely wet, icy, or slick surfaces. These shoes are not designed as dedicated winter traction boots. For enhanced grip in such conditions, consider additional non-slip treatments or alternative footwear.

Care Instructions

Maintaining your Clarks Originals Walla Yukoner will ensure their longevity and appearance:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for grain leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the Steads Scotch grain leather supple and prevent cracking. Do this every few months, or more often depending on use and exposure to harsh conditions.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray designed for leather to enhance its resistance to moisture and spills, especially before wearing in inclement weather.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
  • Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
