FAQs
Are Wallabee Boots in Black Suede waterproof?
Suede is not naturally waterproof. While it offers some resistance, it's highly recommended to treat your boots with a quality suede protector spray to enhance water repellency and stain resistance, especially in wet conditions.
How often should I clean my suede Wallabee Boots?
Regular light brushing after each wear is ideal to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, it depends on usage, but address stains promptly to prevent them from setting.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
It is generally advised to avoid heavy rain when wearing suede boots to prevent water damage and staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat, then restore the nap with a suede brush.
What is the best way to store my Wallabee Boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, prolonging their life.
Do Wallabee Boots run true to size?
Clarks Originals Wallabee Boots typically run true to UK shoe sizing. However, personal fit preference can vary. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or consult a sizing guide.
Is the crepe sole durable?
The natural crepe sole is designed for comfort and good traction. While durable for typical wear, it is softer than synthetic soles and can be susceptible to marks or wear on very rough or abrasive surfaces. Proper care will extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or discolored
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper discoloration, use a suede eraser or cleaner sparingly, followed by brushing.
Crepe sole is dirty or sticky
Use a soft brush or a specialized crepe sole cleaner/block to gently rub away dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents that can damage the natural rubber.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The Wallabee Boot may have a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure you have the correct size; an ill-fitting boot will remain uncomfortable.

Care
Maintaining the butter-soft suede and iconic crepe sole is key to preserving your Wallabee Boots:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically according to product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning (Suede):
- Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the suede.
- For tougher marks or stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
- If suede becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat, then brush to restore the nap.
- Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can attract dust and debris. Gently clean the sole with a soft brush or a specific crepe sole cleaning block to maintain its appearance and traction. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the natural rubber.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
