FAQs
What is the primary material of these Wallabees?
The primary material for the uppers is premium leather.
What are the two lace options provided?
The shoes come with one pair of flat tonal laces and one pair of gingham ribbon laces.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Clarks sizing guide for accurate measurements. These are UK sizes, and a size 8 is indicated for this specific product.
Is the gingham pattern on the outside of the shoe?
No, the gingham pattern is featured on the sock liner inside the shoe.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated, the natural crepe sole is not ideal for very wet conditions. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or as needed, depending on wear and environmental conditions, to keep it supple and protected.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, Clarks Originals offers the Wallabee in various colors and patterns. This guide focuses on the Pale Yellow Leather version, but other options like Pink are available.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a quality leather conditioner and cleaner specifically designed for smooth leather. Ensure you are not over-cleaning.
Crepe sole has scuff marks
Attempt to gently buff out minor scuffs with a clean pencil eraser or a dedicated crepe rubber cleaner. For deeper marks, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Natural leather will soften with wear.
Gingham sock liner shows wear
Avoid excessive moisture inside the shoe. If minor wear occurs, it is typically cosmetic and does not affect shoe performance.
