FAQs

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

For regular wear, clean the leather as needed to remove dirt, and condition every 1-2 months to keep it supple and prevent drying. More frequent conditioning may be needed if worn in harsh conditions.

Are the Clarks Originals Wallabee shoes waterproof?

No, the leather and natural crepe sole are not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray for light moisture resistance, but avoid heavy rain or standing water.

Can I wear these shoes in winter?

While the sheepskin lining offers some warmth, the natural crepe sole can become firm in very cold temperatures and may lack traction on ice or snow. They are best suited for mild to moderate winter conditions when treated with a protector.

What makes the crepe sole unique?

The natural crepe sole is made from layers of coagulated latex. It's known for its exceptional comfort, flexibility, and cushioning properties, providing a distinct 'bounce' with every step. Its natural state means it can be more susceptible to dirt and stickiness than synthetic soles.

How should I store my Wallabees when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is highly recommended to help them retain their shape and absorb any internal moisture, preserving the leather's integrity.

Do Wallabees run true to size?

Clarks Originals Wallabees generally fit true to size. However, given the natural materials, they will mold to your foot over time. If you are between sizes, consider trying the smaller size first as the leather will stretch slightly.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or scuffed.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or balm. For scuffs, gently buff with a soft cloth and a tiny amount of conditioner.

Crepe sole is dirty or sticky.

Use a specialized crepe sole brush or a clean rubber eraser to gently rub away dirt and grime. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners directly on the crepe, as it can worsen stickiness.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the butter-soft leather to mold to your feet. The natural crepe sole will also become more flexible with wear.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying the waxy laces securely. A double knot often helps them stay tied longer. Over time, the wax on the laces may wear, reducing slipperiness.

Shoes developing an odor.

Ensure you wear socks, preferably breathable ones. Air out the shoes regularly after wear. You can also use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in sachets inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, Iconic Style: A classic design that remains fashionable across seasons.
  • Superior Comfort: Butter-soft leather and natural crepe sole provide exceptional comfort for daily wear.
  • Premium Quality Materials: Made with high-quality leather and breathable sheepskin lining for durability and feel.
  • Versatile Styling: Easily pairs with both casual and smart-casual outfits.
  • Authentic Detailing: Waxy laces and branded fobs add to its distinctive character.

Cons

  • Crepe Sole Maintenance: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and may require regular cleaning to maintain its appearance.
  • Leather Care Required: Premium leather needs consistent care, including cleaning and conditioning, to prevent drying or damage.
  • Weather Sensitivity: Leather and crepe soles are not inherently water-resistant and may not be ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions without protection.
  • Break-in Period: While comfortable, new leather shoes may require a short break-in period for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Use

  1. First Wear: When you first wear your Wallabees, take note of the fit. The butter-soft leather will mold to your foot over time.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the waxy laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Double knotting can help prevent them from coming undone.

Compatibility

  • Wardrobe: These shoes are highly compatible with a wide range of clothing, including jeans, chinos, corduroys, and even some lightweight wool trousers. They complement both plain and patterned socks.
  • Occasion: Suitable for casual, smart-casual, and even some semi-formal events where a unique, relaxed elegance is desired.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is crucial to preserve the look and longevity of your Wallabee shoes.

  1. Leather Cleaning: Gently wipe off surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for smooth leather. Apply sparingly and wipe clean.
  2. Conditioning: To prevent the leather from drying out and cracking, apply a leather conditioner regularly (every 1-2 months, depending on wear). This helps keep the leather supple and nourished.
  3. Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and debris. To clean, gently rub the sole with a specialized crepe sole brush or a clean rubber eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  4. Water Protection: While not fully waterproof, applying a leather protector spray can provide a barrier against light moisture and stains. Reapply as per product instructions.
  5. Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid Harsh Conditions: Try to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, mud, or extreme temperatures, which can damage both the leather and the crepe sole.
